Before & After of crawlspace
We have added silver glow insulation to this crawlspace to create a thermal boundary. In addition, drainage matting has been installed to enhance waterproofing. The drainage matting creates a vapor barrier and provides increased comfort when accessing your crawlspace.
A homeowner in Newington, VA became concerned about poor indoor air quality and cold floors after noticing musty smells coming from the crawl space. Since crawl space moisture, mold, and open vents can impact the comfort and air quality of the home above, they contacted NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair for a free inspection.
During the full crawl space inspection, our Design Specialist found that the home needed a crawl space encapsulation system to help address the moisture, odors, and temperature concerns. Our team installed SilverGlo insulation, drainage matting, and CleanSpace vapor barrier to help seal and protect the crawl space. We also repaired foundation cracks with NexusPro, removed mold with Mold-X, regraded the crawl space for better drainage, blocked the vents, and added an EverLast crawl space door.
After the project was completed, the crawl space was cleaner, better sealed, and better protected from moisture and outside air. The homeowner now has a more comfortable home with improved protection against musty odors, cold floors, crawl space humidity, and poor air quality. If you’re dealing with crawl space smells, cold floors, moisture, or air quality concerns in Newington, VA, NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair offers free inspections and customized crawl space repair solutions.
This recent crawl space renovation in Falls Church, VA transformed a damp, unprotected crawl space into a cleaner, drier, and more stable area beneath the home. Before the repair, the crawl space was vulnerable to moisture, humidity, and poor insulation, which can lead to musty odors, mold growth, wood rot, uncomfortable floors, and higher energy costs. The homeowner also had concerns about the support system beneath the home, making crawl space repair and encapsulation the best solution to help protect the structure and improve the overall comfort of the home.
NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair completed a full crawl space encapsulation using CleanSpace vapor barrier, SilverGlo insulation, and adjustable SmartJacks. CleanSpace helps seal the crawl space from ground moisture and humidity, creating a brighter and cleaner environment. SilverGlo insulation helps improve energy efficiency and comfort by insulating the crawl space walls. To address structural support, our team installed adjustable SmartJacks, which are designed to stabilize and support the floors above the crawl space.
After the crawl space repair was complete, the Falls Church homeowner had a healthier, more protected crawl space and a stronger support system beneath their home. This crawl space encapsulation not only improved moisture control and energy efficiency, but also helped protect the home from future crawl space damage. The finished result was a major transformation and gave the homeowner peace of mind knowing their home was cleaner, drier, and better supported.
