Home Insulation Services Photo Album: Crawl Space Troubles in Camden Wyoming, DE
Homeowner's in Camden Wyoming, DE were having troubles with their crawl space.
These homeowner's suffered from a vented crawl space with a dirt floor. Vented crawl spaces allow warm and cool air to flow in and out of the crawl space. This creates condensation and high humidity which results in odor, mold and high utility costs.
The solution to vented crawl spaces with dirt floors is the CleanSpace Encapsulation System with Drainage Matting, TerraBlock and SilverGlo. Vents in the crawl space are sealed using insulated vent covers. The walls are insulated with SilverGlo insulation. The drainage matting is installed across the dirt floor. The drainage matting is dimpled to create air space for water to flow. TerraBlock floor insulation is installed on top of the drainage matting and the CleanSpace liner is installed over the TerraBock.
This creates much lower humidity in the crawl space, warmer floors, less drafts and lower utility costs.

Insulated Vent Covers
To stop the flow of air from the vents, Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva seals and insulates them preventing further air flow.
