Near Alcoa, TN, our team at Master Services undertook the task of improving a crawlspace that had previously been encapsulated with a black plastic sheet. Over the years, this sheet had torn apart, resulting in water accumulation and damage. After clearing debris and removing old insulation from the joists, we sealed the vents to isolate the crawlspace environment from the outside.
Next, we installed CleanSpace drainage matting, a material designed to direct any water to the perimeter drainage or sump pump located at the lowest point of the crawlspace. Finally, we installed the reliable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, known for its durability and sustained effectiveness.
The main goals were achieved: to avert water damage, inhibit mold growth, prevent decay, eliminate unpleasant odors, and ward off pests from invading the area.
