Crawl Space Encapsulation in Houston, AR
Challenge
Doug U from Houston Arkansas, 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 Doug's needs. He needed a solution that would provide a barrier against moisture, to keep his crawlspace more dry than before.
Solution
The best solution for Doug was to install the CleanSpace vapor barrier around the perimeter of the crawlspace 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 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, Doug has a drier, less humid crawlspace, which could now benefit the air condition in his home.
