Crawl Space Encapsulation Before & After Photos

The before image is of an old wooden-framed window looking into the crawl space of a Delmarva home.  This framing has cracks and spaces allowing air and water to enter into the crawl space.  The after picture shows a newly installed window, completely sealed prevention any energy loss through the crawl space and damage from water.

This old, rusty crawl space door is no match for the elements.  This is why Dr. Energy Saver installed one of our durable plastic crawl space doors.  It is easily installed and properly sealed to prevent air and moisture leaks.  It also will not rust like the door before it.

Homeowners in Queenstown, MD contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva because they had concerns about the consistently wet condition of their crawl space. In order to correct the problem and prevent any further water damage the production crew installed a drainage system around the perimeter of the crawl space. The drainage system will collect and carry water to the SmartSump removing it from the crawl space. After installing the drainage system the crew encapsulated the crawl space complete with CleanSpace liner on the floor and SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation on the walls with spray foam air sealing in the rim joists.

In Centreville, Maryland homeowners were suffering from an abrupt odor coming from their crawlspace into the home. With three children living inside of the home, the owners knew it was apparent to get this problem fixed and fixed quickly. 

They called out Dr. Energy Saver to find out exactly what the problem was and what were the necessary steps to take in order to fix this issue. As the visit ensued, homeowners briefed our In Home Comfort Specialist on exactly what issues they were facing. After crawling down into the crawlspace, the odor underneath was very crude and was in need of our services.

Our production team then went out and first, removed the dirty, smelly, and musty insulation that reeked throughout the home. Next, we took the proper precautions in making sure the humidity levels did not reach the level of condensation. We installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation System with Drainage Matting and Silverglo insulation on the walls. This prevents high humidity levels, much warmer floors for the homeowners, a more comfortable home, and lowers the fuel and electric bills. 

Homeowners could smell the difference once the insulation was pulled from their crawl space and are very happy that they did not have to bear with disgusting odors anymore and a more healthy lving environment for their children. 

Before: This crawl space was damp, musty, and filled with deteriorating insulation—creating the perfect environment for mold and poor air quality.
After: Our team sealed and encapsulated the space, installed SilverGlo™ insulation, and added a powerful SaniDry™ Crawl Space Air System to keep humidity under control. The result? A clean, dry, and healthier crawl space built to last.
