Lawson Home Services Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Felton, Delaware noticed water seeping in through their access crawlspace door into the crawl area.

This could cause humidity levels to rise resulting in condensation all over the crawlspace. Also during the winter time, cold air leaks will potentially become a problem for the homeowners causing cold floors above and cooling heating ducts. Higher fuel and electric bills will stem from these problems. 

Dr. Energy Saver then was called out to find the source of how water entered the crawlspace. We found water stains on the liner which means the crawlspace had standing water previously but evaporated with the heat levels inside of there. The entrance door to lacked the proper sealing resulting in water seeping through and coming into the crawlspace.

Seeing those penetrations, Dr. Energy Saver installed our Turtl Crawl Space Access System. This is an airtight door and a sealed access well in one durable unit. This airtight design is a watertight and durable crawl space access that keeps your crawlspace clean and healthy.

We have encapsulated a crawl space in Harrington, DE. We installed a CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System with perimeter drainage and drainage matting. It has a SmartSump with a remote alarm. The insulation was removed from the floor and we installed 2" foam board on the perimeter walls along with R-21 closed-cell foam in the rim joist. We also installed a Turtl Crawl Space Access System.

The floor was air sealed along with duct sealing to bring the total duct leakage under the current 2009 iecc code for new construction. The house leakage is now below average.
