Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Long Bottom, OH

This homeowner called Mid-State Basement Systems with a concrete crawl space that they wanted encapsulated. They has some slight leakage, which concerned them, because they wanted to use the area for storage due to the large access point. Our crew got to work installing SilverGlo, Drainage matting, and the CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect the space and keep it dry.

SilverGlo

First, the SilverGlo was installed around the perimeter of the space. The tiny graphite particles permeate its foam insulation to give it that silver/gray shine. These tiny particles reflect heat and lower the material's conductivity for superior R-value per inch.

Drainage Matting

Next, the drainage matting is put down to cover the floor. This improves drainage when installed under the CleanSpace vapor barrier. The dimpled surface helps carry water to the perimeter drainage or sump pump located at the lowest area of the crawl space. CleanSpace drainage matting also softens the floor and increases durability of the encapsulation system.
