Crawlspace Repair- Rothesay, NB
Challenge
Recently, the team at Ridgeback Basement Systems embarked on a crawl space repair project for a homeowner in Rothesay, NB, who faced persistent issues stemming from their unsealed and ventilated crawl space. The problem involved high humidity levels, resulting in mold growth, unpleasant odors, and escalating energy bills. These concerns prompted the homeowner to contact our Customer Care Specialist, who facilitated a comprehensive home inspection.
Following the inspection, our System Design Specialist from the Sales Team visited the property, meticulously diagnosing the crawl space issues. It was clear that moisture was the primary culprit, contributing to structural deterioration and energy inefficiency. To address and resolve these concerns effectively, our specialist proposed the installation of our industry-leading CleanSpace® encapsulation system combined with SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation.
Solution
The production team, comprising a foreman and skilled installers, meticulously carried out the plan. They began by encasing the crawl space with a CleanSpace® liner, specially designed to provide an effective vapor barrier. The antimicrobial properties of the liner ensured the persistent mold threat was substantially curtailed, while its UV resistance and durability guaranteed long-lasting protection. Concurrently, the team installed SilverGlo™ Wall Insulation. The advanced integrated vapor barrier managed excess moisture while enhancing the energy efficiency of the home through superior insulation.
The outcome was a remarkable transformation. The crawl space transitioned into a clean, dry, and efficiently insulated area. The reduction in humidity stemmed the growth of mold and rot, mitigated musty odors, and optimized energy consumption. This project not only resolved current issues but also delivered long-term peace of mind for the homeowner, illustrating how our products and services provide reliable and sustainable solutions.
