We were called by Karen for a number of reasons. She had been interested in encapsulation to (1) help deter mice in crawlspace, (2) improve overall home health and air quality. After inspection we walked Karen through what we found. She had high humidity levels and wood moisture content which can be the cause of microbial growth in your crawl.
Fifty percent of the air we breathe on the first floor of the home comes from the crawl space. If you have duct work with any sort of tears or gaps (which most duct work has) in the crawl space you could also be bringing in dirt, mold spores, and dust directly into your home.
The encapsulation system we installed for Karen is going to help in multiple ways. Exchanging fiberglass batts (which rodents and insects love) for high-density foam board and completely sealing the ground off will improve the air quality, help deter rodents and insects, and also made her whole home significantly warmer.
(**In the after picture you can see each step/layer that goes into creating our encapsulation. No shortcuts here.)
Blown In Fiberglass Insulation is helping this Sussex County homeowner to enjoy a more comfortable and efficient home. This homeowner had the typical Milton, DE home that was built to code, but the homeowner still had issues keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The Dr. Energy Saver team helped make this home more comfortable year round with Air Sealing and adding more Blown In Insulation over the fiberglass batts to provide an even coverage.
The Turtl Crawl Space Access System is a great alternative to the standard metal crawl space door. The lockable lid is air and water tight keeping out rain, leaves and debris from the crawl space. .
The homeowners were more than impressed with the work by our production team. Larry and Judith stated, "Do not let the two men leave your employment - excellent work and clean up." The installation shown here consists of CleanSpace® vapor barrier that is put down in multiple layers to completely seal off the home from the cold, damp ground.
Dr. Energy Saver is one of the top providers of the Turtl. The Turtl is a crawl space protection system. The Turtl provides complete protection from the elements and is completely sealed all the way around. It also allows for easy access to the crawl space.
