There are 5 steps to complete in order to perfectly encapsulate your crawl space to transform it into a dry and healthy environment.
1) Solve the groundwater seepage problem by installing a drainage and sump pump system.
2) Insulate the crawl space to preserve the energy inside. The SilverGlo insulation has graphite particles that reflect the heat towards the inside and increases the R-value to 11.
3) Install a vapor-barrier that is thick and durable and that seals all joists and spaces where there might be air infiltrations. The CleanSpace membrane is made up of 7 different layers and has an antibacterial additive injected inside to block the proliferation of bacterias.
4) Seal crawl space vents. Ventilation is a myth! Let our specialists tell you why a complete encapsulation is more efficient than ventilation.
5) Dehumidifying the crawl space by installing dehumidifiers specifically designed for this purpose and the crawl space environment. This will control the humidity level and eliminate bacterias that are infecting your air.
