Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Essex, MD

This homeowner is Essex was interested in waterproofing and encapsulating their dirt floor crawlspace. We started here by removing all of the old, worn-out insulation. We installed a SmartSump Pump System to address any future plumbing leaks. We then laid down drainage matting which will help guide any water towards the sump system as well as offer extra durability to the liner. Next, we wrapped the piers and the entire crawlspace with our CleanSpace Liner and installed SilverGlo Insulating Panels for added home energy efficiency. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is specifically designed for crawlspaces.

Old Crawlspace

A crawl space with exposed dirt floors can be the cause of moisture issues in your home and lead to a host of other problems.

Removing the old insulation

Removing the old insulation will help to improve the quality of the air by reducing the amount of allergens that may flow up into the rest of the home.

Drainage Matting

Adding drainage matting is an important step in the encapsulation process as this layer of matting provides space for water to flow as well as provides cushion for your knees underneath the liner.
