Reston VA Crawl Space Encapsulation with Spray Foam and Clean Space

This Reston VA crawl space needed an upgrade.  The crawl space was vented and had insulation that did not work.  The existing bat insulation was coming loose from the crawl space ceiling and falling to the dirt floor below.  The walls of the crawl space were untreated and allowing moisture/wetness to enter the area.  This lead to a musty smell in the crawl space which worked its way into the air above in the living spaces of the home.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Jason came to do a full home inspection and identified the solution to help solve all of those problems.  Jason advised that the homeowner to have the existing insulation removed and then to use our Clean Space service to cover the dirt floors and walls of the crawl space.  Clean Space includes Terra Block matting below to allow for the flow or air and moisture but keeps it from entering the air of the home above.  Once Clean Space was installed the walls were insulated with spray foam and the vents were sealed up.  Spray Foam was also used to seal up the rim joists in the crawl space, eliminating the opportunity for external air and temperatures to impact the environment inside of the crawl space.  This would all lead to improved air quality and reduced energy costs for the home.
