Crawl Space Encapsulation in Long Island, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Long Island, Virginia complained of cold floors during winter and rising energy bills year after year. Despite upgrading insulation and servicing their HVAC system, comfort issues persisted. An inspection revealed that the crawl space had exposed soil, open vents, and elevated humidity levels, allowing cold, damp air to rise into the living space.
The uncontrolled crawl space environment forced the HVAC system to work harder, increasing energy usage and reducing overall comfort.
Solution
We addressed the issue by transforming the crawl space into a sealed, conditioned environment. Our team installed the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, sealing off ground moisture, outside air, and crawl space vents. This significantly reduced air leakage into the home.
To maintain stable humidity and prevent condensation, the SaniDry™ Sedona was installed. This system ensures year-round moisture control while improving energy efficiency.
Once complete, the homeowner noticed warmer floors, improved comfort, and lower utility bills. The crawl space now functions as a controlled, energy-efficient extension of the home.
