Solution

After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. The Design Specialist arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the crawl space. Following his inspection, the Design Specialist confirmed the musty odor was coming from the crawl space. To stop the odor from continuing, the Design Specialist recommended fully encapsulating the crawl space. The homeowner agreed and the plans were passed along to our Logisitcs team to approve the plans. Once the Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, the project was assigned to our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew. Franklin and his team traveled to the home and started the encapsulation. First, Franklin and his crew made sure the crawl space was cleared of debris. Next, the crew laid Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. The Drainage Matting liner rests directly on the crawl space floor and will trap water underneath. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace to the crawl space floors and walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor that encapsulates crawl space walls. Finally, the crew finished up by installing Foamax on the crawl space walls. Foamax provides comfort and energy bill savings while making walls look clean and bright. Once the products were secure, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their crawl space was properly repaired. If you notice your crawl space is suffering from similar issues, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
