Crawl Space Encapsulation in Cherry Hill, NJ

Monday, October 16th, 2017 by Spencer James

Challenge

This crawlspace in Cherry Hill, NJ had high humidity levels causing a harsh, musty smell throughout the home. Trying to get rid of this smell is nearly impossible through home remedies, but how is the smell from the crawl space present in the entire home? This is known to the industry as the "stack effect". 50% of the colder crawl space air is naturally pushed to the warmer upstairs air like a chimney. Having a damp, humid crawlspace provides the perfect environment for mold to grow. When that contaminated, moldy air travels up, it potentially endangers everyone in the home and can cause severe health issues like asthma, arthritic-like symptoms, flu-like symptoms, and even hair loss. Spaces such as this one are also subject to pest infestations and other problems that not only cause health complications but could ruin the structural integrity of the joists as well, which lead to sagging floors.

Solution

We started by cleaning the smelly crawl space and rolling out our patented CleanSpace Encapsulation System. Our patented Encapsulation System is unique because it's infused with UltraFresh, an anti-microbial agent that blocks odors and vapors from entering your home. Our System Designer then prescribed a Sanidry Air Scrubber to be installed. Our compact yet powerful system is perfect for crawl spaces because of its ability to efficiently take water out of the air and then drain right into a dry well for your convince. Just like clothes, air doesn't retain heat well when it's cold out, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. Our products significantly reduce the humidity in your home, lowering the energy bill every month. With these products installed, this crawl space is dry, energy-efficient, and odor-free!
