3 Pros Basement Systems Before & After Photos

When our team arrived to this job, the crawl space was in bad shape. Fiberglass batt insulation was falling off the ceilings/walls due to being so heavy with moisture. Not only was this making the insulation completely ineffective, it also was a breeding ground for pests and mold. To fix this situation and make the customer's home healthier, we removed the dirty insulation, installed drainage matting and CleanSpace Wallie to encapsulate the crawl space, and applied spray foam insulation to the walls and joists.

This Herndon, VA home had a need for crawl space improvement.  Improved insulation and sealing the crawl space off from unconditioned outdoor air was the solution identified by our sales pro who inspected the home.   The production crew removed the old ineffective insulation. After that, they applied spray foam insulation to the rim joists to help make sure that the rooms above the crawlspace were able to maintain a normal temperature. Finally, the crew installed spray foam on the crawlspace walls as the primary form of insulation to keep the home comfortable year-round.

This dirt floor, uninsulated crawl space was transformed with our CleanSpace encapsulation system. 

We turned this nasty crawl space into a clean space with controlled air flow and better impact on the energy efficiency of the home.  Removing the old insulation attached to the crawl space ceiling, clearing the plastic on the floors and then installing a moisture barrier and Clean Space to seal it all in made this crawl space have better air quality and allow for use of the space if storage is needed by the homeowners.  The foundation supports of the home were air sealed to keep moisture below and the rim joists of the home were sealed with spray Foam.  

This home in Stafford VA had a crawl space that was cold, dirty, wet and had mildew collecting all over.  The existing insulation attached to the crawl space ceiling was loose and smelled musty.  The floors of the crawl space were covered with dirty old plastic that was trapping moisture allowing more mildew to appear.  Our production crew cleared out all of the old insulation material and plastic floor covering before spraying to help prevent future issues.  The dirt floors were smoothed over to make a more level and even surface.  The open vents of the crawl space were sealed and then Silver Glo insulation paneling was installed on all of the crawl space walls.  Smaller blocks of Silver Glo were cut to fit inside of the rim joists to the home and were air sealed in with Spray Foam.  This air seal will eliminate the opportunity for outside temperatures and moisture to impact the conditions inside of the crawl space.  Insulating the walls eliminates the need to insulate the ceiling of the crawl space.
