Why did the customer contact us?

This homeowner contacted Americrawl to address moisture concerns, air leaks, and insulation issues in their crawl space. Upon inspection, our team found that the existing vapor barrier was missing, the crawl space vents were allowing excess outside air and humidity to enter, and the fiberglass insulation had been damaged by years of moisture exposure.

Solutions provided:

To improve moisture control, Americrawl installed a 6-mil polyethylene vapor barrier across the entire crawl space floor. The material was laid with overlapping seams, sealed, and secured to piers and edges to create an effective barrier against ground moisture rising into the home.
Next, the team performed crawl space vent replacements, installing durable, weather-resistant vent covers to better seal the space while maintaining proper accessibility. These covers help prevent outside air, pests, and debris from entering, contributing to a more stable and energy-efficient environment.
Finally, new fiberglass insulation was installed in the floor joist cavities to restore the thermal barrier between the crawl space and living area above. This helps keep the home warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and reduces energy costs.
