Before & After Photos

This Richmond, VA homeowner contacted us because they noticed moisture issues in their crawl space that they wanted to be addressed. At our inspection, we found microbial growth on the floor joists, no vapor barrier covering the ground, and falling, damaged insulation. 

Once the homeowner's belongings were removed, we cleaned all of the debris out of the crawl space and treated the microbial growth. We then sealed all the vents and air sealed the sill plate and all penetrations through the foundation walls to the outside. Next, our team rolled out a heavy-duty vapor barrier called CleanSpace, it was attached to the foundation walls, wrapped and sealed around all piers, and overlapped and sealed at all seams to seal the crawl space off from the earth's moisture. Now, the space is ready to be insulated with closed-cell spray foam on the foundation walls and in the rim band. Then a dehumidifier will be installed to control the relative humidity. 

Keeping air carrying moisture out and controlling the relative humidity in the space will help to prevent future moisture damage in the crawl space. It also creates a clean dry storage space for the homeowners and will help to keep their floors warmer in the winter and can even reduce energy bills. 

This Dewitt, VA crawl space is encapsulated with a 20-mil CleanSpace vapor barrier, closed-cell spray foam, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, R-11 along the perimeter of the crawl space, and an Everlast Crawl Space door. 

This homeowner wanted to add insulation to their attic to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of their home. We installed a blanket of blown-in cellulose insulation in the attic. The Cellulose insulation used is 85% recycled material and contains a borate that helps to deter pests. 

This Chester, VA homeowner wanted to improve the insulation in their attic to reduce heat loss in the winter and radiant heat warming the rooms below in the summer. They chose to keep the existing insulation and add to it, so a fresh blanket of R-30 cellulose insulation was blown in increasing the R-value and reducing heat loss and transfer. 

This Chester, VA homeowner wanted to improve their attic insulation to keep rooms cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The homeowner didn't want to remove the old insulation, just add to it so, we installed PVs (proper vents) in between the attic rafters to allow for ventilation and keep insulation out of the soffit vent, then we blew in an R-30 of cellulose insulation. This will help to keep the rooms below more comfortable and reduce energy bills.
