Crawlspace Encapsulation in Knoxville, TN
Challenge
In Knoxville, TN, a homeowner contacted us due to a foul smell emanating from her crawlspace. The area had been previously encapsulated by the contractor who built the house, but the quality of the material was subpar, and the plastic sheet had ripped. This resulted in the formation of water pools, leading to increased humidity and eventually causing mold and unpleasant odors.
Solution
Our primary goal was to prevent water damage, mold growth, decay, odors, and pests from entering the space. To achieve this, we carefully selected the reliable CleanSpace® Wall system, known for its durability and effectiveness. The system was securely attached to the basement walls using plastic fasteners, ensuring a secure and steadfast fit through meticulous drilling. Additionally, our diligent home inspectors recommended the installation of the Sedona dehumidifier. This invaluable device played a vital role in maintaining optimal moisture levels within the crawlspace, effectively preventing the growth of mold.
Together, the CleanSpace® Wall system and the Sedona dehumidifier created an ideal environment, successfully managing moisture and preventing mold growth. With both systems in place, the homeowner has effectively secured her crawlspace, enhancing the value of her house for years to come!
