Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The crawl space in the Narragansett, Rhode Island property was poorly insulated and the vapor barrier that was installed was not doing the job. The home owner reached out to DryZone Basement Systems for a free estimate knowing we could help them update their crawl space. 

A homeowner in Narragansett, RI reached out to us about their crawl space because it was constantly very damp which was creating an unhealthy environment for their home above. On installation day, our foreman, MJ, and his crew removed all the old fiberglass insulation and debris from the space, then laid down drainage matting over the dirt floor to allow water to flow under and out of the space. They reinsulated the area with our SilverGlo wall insulation to regulate temperature year-round, and it won't deteriorate over time like the fiberglass did. The crew then fully encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to eliminate the excess moisture. The homeowner can have peace of mind now that their crawl space is protected by DryZone!

The Cleanspace liner was installed in this Narragansett, RI crawlspace to isolate the home from the earth completley and permanently. The liner is a heavy 20-mil thick material comparable to a pool liner. The bright white color really brightens the crawlspace to make better use of available light!

Mold can grow on dirt, insulation, framing and even under the carpet on the first floor. Mold destroys organic materials as it feeds on them. Mold cannot grow when the humidity levels are reduced to below 50% and the crawlspace must be separated from the earth. The sagging insulation you see is because the moisture is absorbed by the organic, fiberglass insulation and it becomes so heavy that gravity pulls it down. We removed all of the organic material in this Narragansett, RI crawlspace and installed CleanSpace to isolate the earth from the rest of the home.

This crawlspace in Narragansett, RI had debris removed and was encapsulated with Cleanspace. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona to control the moisture and humidity.
