Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Conover, Ohio

A proper crawl space encapsulation can yield a very high return on investment if done right. Studies have shown that the price home buyers are willing to pay for homes with an encapsulated crawl space often outweighs the price of an encapsulation itself. The best time to encapsulate your crawl space is right now, as it can save you from: Poor air quality, lost money on energy bills, and wood rot. We encapsulated this crawl space by wrapping our CleanSpace vapor barrier all over the floor and walls, installing our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and sealing the crawl space vents. This simple yet effective project relieved the homeowners from their crawl space worries. Scroll through this album to get a more in depth analysis of our crawl space methods!

Encapsulated Crawl Space

Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is sealed at all the seams, eliminating the possibility of moisture rising through the ground and into the crawl space.

Safe Plumbing Lines

Plumbers love us! Being able to access a crawl space that looks like this in order to reach the plumbing lines makes their jobs a lot easier.

Close Up of Wooden Beam

If the moisture in this crawl space was left uncared for, these wooden beams could be damaged. Replacing damaged wood is a very costly repair.

Wet Crawl Space

This corner of the crawl space was still damp when we showed up to inspect it. Also notice the vent, which is where is pulled into the crawl space. This air then rises up through the home through a process we like to call the stack effect, dragging musty odors with it.

Dehumidifier In Problem Corner

We put the dehumidifier in the area where moisture was most likely to gather. Our dehumidifier can collect up to 90 pints of water out of the air in a day.
