Crawl Space Encapsulation in Scott, AR
Challenge
Homeowner Paul F. from Scott, AR, had a crawlspace that collected moisture. Water could be seen dripping from the duct-work. He called Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas, where Systems Design Specialist came out to design a solution based on Paul's needs. He needed a solution that would provide a barrier against moisture, to keep his crawlspace drier than before.
Solution
The best solution for Paul was to install the CleanSpace vapor barrier around the perimeter of the crawlspace and the floor, install a drainage matting on the floor, and install a vent cover to keep out as much of the humid air as possible.
The Foreman and his 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 crawlspace, 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 crawlspace, and then mechanically fastened to the walls to ensure stability.
Now, Paul has a drier, less humid crawlspace, which could now benefit the air condition in his home.
