Moisture Barrier in Cascoe, AR
Challenge
Larry F, from Casscoe, AR had a crawlspace that collected moisture. Water could be seen dripping from the duct-work. He called Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas where our Systems Design Specialist came out to design a solution based on Larry needs. He needed a solution that would provide a barrier against moisture, to keep his crawlspace drier than before.
Solution
The best solution for Larry was to install the CleanSpace® vapor barrier around the perimeter of the crawl space and the floor, to install a drainage matting on the floor, and install a vent cover to keep out as much of the humid air as possible.
Our team came out to install the products. The project began with installing the vent cover over the existing vent-hole, which would control the humid air coming through. The team then laid down a dimpled drainage matting over the floor of the crawl space, which would help control the moisture from the dirt floor. Over the top, the CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed. This barrier was laid seamlessly throughout the crawl space, and then mechanically fastened to the walls to ensure stability.
Now, Larry has a drier, less humid crawl space, which could now benefit the air condition in his home.
