Photo Album: Creating a Healthy Crawl Space in Oxford County, ON
Challenge: High humidity in a crawl space was wreaking havoc in this Tillsonburg home. Damp, musty smells throughout the year and cold floors and unnecessarily high heating bills in the winter months were just a few of the problems faced by this family.
Solution: We sealed off the crawl space completely from the outside environment with our CleanSpace Liner®. To further help with the year-round comfort of this home, we also applied spray foam insulation. Our spray foam insulation provides air-sealing and insulation in a single step.
With their crawl space humidity regulated and proper insulation in place, these homeowners will now better enjoy their home!
Too humid
In a crawl space, a healthy level of humidity is around 60% - when it fluctuates higher or lower, mould and mildew growth occurs.
Damp, musty space
"Laying down plastic" did not help with the moisture level or the damp, musty smells.
Encapsulated crawl space
A healthy crawl space is completely sealed from the outside environment - regulating humidity levels.
