Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in North Kingstown, RI gave us a call because they needed their crawl space insulated and encapsulated. On installation day, our crew started with removing any insulation and old materials that were in the space. Then they laid down our drainage matting over dirt floor of the crawl space to allow water to flow under and out instead of pooling inside. They insulated the walls of the space with our SilverGlo wall insulation which regulates temperature and it doesn't deteriorate over time. Then the crew fully encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Now the homeowner feels much better about the conditions of their crawl space!

The crawl space in the Narragansett, Rhode Island property was poorly insulated and the vapor barrier that was installed was not doing the job. The home owner reached out to DryZone Basement Systems for a free estimate knowing we could help them update their crawl space. 

This crawlspace had a makeshift vapor barrier that was not helping with the moisture problem at all, it was only a band-aid. This Narragansett home is right on the water so the musty, earthy smell in the crawl space was too much for this homeowner to handle. We installed an all new vapor barrier to fully encapsulate the space and get rid of the smell and moisture. We were happy to help and make this home more comfortable to live in!

The Cleanspace liner was installed in this Narragansett, RI crawlspace to isolate the home from the earth completley and permanently. The liner is a heavy 20-mil thick material comparable to a pool liner. The bright white color really brightens the crawlspace to make better use of available light!

Mold can grow on dirt, insulation, framing and even under the carpet on the first floor. Mold destroys organic materials as it feeds on them. Mold cannot grow when the humidity levels are reduced to below 50% and the crawlspace must be separated from the earth. The sagging insulation you see is because the moisture is absorbed by the organic, fiberglass insulation and it becomes so heavy that gravity pulls it down. We removed all of the organic material in this Narragansett, RI crawlspace and installed CleanSpace to isolate the earth from the rest of the home.
