Clean Space Encapsulation, Hot Springs National Park, AR
Challenge
Homeowner Tom S lives in Hot Springs National Park, AR, and he has been living there for many years. Recently he noticed his crawl space flooded after every rainy day. Tom plans on renting this property out and needed to fix this issue quickly and permanently so he could move tenants in. Tom decided to call a company with a great reputation, a company that has serviced many homes in his area. Tom called Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas.
Solution
When our System Design Specialist arrived at Tom's house to do his inspection. It was clear that the water damage was beginning to grow mold.
The best solution for Tom was to install the CleanSpace vapor barrier around the perimeter of the crawl space 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 production 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 crawl space, and then mechanically fastened to the walls to ensure stability.
Now, Tom has a drier, less humid crawl space, which could now benefit the air condition in his home.
