Crawl Space Encapsulation in Haymarket,VA
Challenge
A homeowner in Haymarket, VA, reached out to NV Waterproofing and Foundation Repair about a persistent crawl space odor and elevated humidity throughout their home. They also experienced uncomfortably cold floors and noticed condensation on their ductwork. Concerned about the effects of this constant crawl space moisture on their air quality and home structure, they scheduled a free inspection. Our team found open vents, a thin and failing plastic liner, and damp fiberglass insulation, all contributing to a high risk of mold growth.
Solution
To provide a permanent fix, our team performed a full crawl space encapsulation in Haymarket, VA. We installed a durable, CleanSpace®-style vapor barrier, sealing it across the floor and up the foundation walls to completely isolate the home from ground moisture. After sealing all vents and air leaks, we installed a high-performance SaniDry™ dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels. This system transformed the damp, musty area into a clean, dry space that the homeowner can now use for storage, significantly improving the home's air quality and overall comfort.
