After Galesburg, IL Crawl Space Encapsulation
By implementing a professional vapor barrier system, we have effectively sealed the crawl space against external moisture and soil hases. The result is a dramatically reduced humidity level and the total elimination of those unpleasant odors. This critical upgrade not only protects the structural integrity of the home but also contributes to better indoor air quality throughout the entire home.
Before Galesburg, IL Crawl Space Encapsulation
Here you can see the state of the crawl space before our work began. Crawl spaces are notorious for high humidity and persistent odors primarily because of the stack effect, which draws moist air from the ground and through the home. This excess moisture can support the growth of mold and mildew on organic materials like wood, which is a major source of the musty, unpleasant smells often associated with a damp crawl space. Our goal was to address these issues head-on to create a drier, healthier environment for this Galesburg homeowner.
