Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Far Hills, NJ
Level it all Out
First, we removed all the debris and old insulation, leveled the ground for proper draining, and installed drainage matting.
Drainage Matting
The drainage matting is a dimpled plastic mat that allows all excess moisture to work its way over to the sump pump.
Now for the Vapor Barrier
Next, 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.
Durable & Prevents Mold
By encapsulating the crawl space & installing the vapor barrier over the foundation walls and floor will create a continuous air and moisture barrier. The vapor barrier is extremely durable and is treated with an antimicrobial to prevent mold.
Clean & Healthy
Now the homeowners have a clean and healthy crawl space as well as an additional area in their home for storage.
