Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Shrewsbury, NJ
Level the Playing Field
First, we removed all the debris and old insulation, leveled the ground for proper draining and installed drainage matting, which is a dimpled plastic mat that allows all excess moisture to work its way over to the sump pump.
Now it's Time for the Vapor Barrier
Afterward, we installed a vapor barrier. A vapor barrier is a heavy-duty, 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with a polyester-cord reinforcement.
Extremely Durable
The vapor barrier is extremely durable and is treated with an antimicrobial to prevent mold.
SilverGlo™ & the Sedona
Afterward, we installed SilverGlo™ on the walls of the crawl space, which is a waterproof foam insulation that seals the walls from outside moisture and humidity. Lastly, we installed a Sani-Dry Sedona commercial-grade dehumidifier to control the humidity levels in the crawl space.
