Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Avon, & Craig CO Areas

We erected the proper containment in order to properly remove any areas affected with microbial growth. Once the we applied the correct procedures outlined in the S-520, we then HEPA vacuumed and wiped any surfaces that weren't removed. After all the necessary steps were taken to remove any microbial hazards, the crawl space was then encapsulated in order to separate the earth from the home. With the complete system now in place the crawl space will now not only divert the humidity from the earth from coming into the home, but it will also pump out excess water in the event of an emergency.

This crawlspace had corrugated metal walls that were already Close Cell spray foamed, however the damp earth was left exposed allowing for microbial growth on any organic sources - wood construction debris, exposed structural wood, & the cylindrical concrete form tubes. After removing these organic sources and remediating any exposed structural wood, we were able to install drainage matting, a "Radon Ready System," and the CleanSpace 20 mil liner. We also installed a SmartDrain at the lowest point of grade to allow any plumbing leaks to enter the Earth while the audio alarm alerts homeowners of a plumbing leak.  

When this crawlspace experienced the unfortunate event of a sewer back up - we were there to suck everything out with our truck mounted extraction equipment, remove the existing 6 mil loose laid plastic liner, treat & disinfect the earth, wet fog to disinfect the air, ducting, plumbing and remaining surfaces, remediate the mold from the wooden structural elements caused by the excess moisture & humidity, set up negative air to control the odor & any remaining airborne pathogens during the drying process, set up drying equipment for a 3 day dry out, & lastly upgraded the liner to the 20 mil CleanSpace Crawlsapce Encapsulation System to shut down the moisture & odor from the earth - seams overlapped & taped and the liner fastened and sealed to the perimeter foundation wall - per the Summit County Building Code. We worked with insurance to get this done ASAP and the most covered by insurance as possible. These homeowners were happy to be able to get back to living life!

This crawlspace had exposed dirt. To prevent moisture issues from the damp earth we installed the CleanSpace 20 mil liner over the dirt and walls - sealed around the perimeter walls and center pier footings. Not only does the liner protect the home from moisture, but it also doubles as a Passive Radon System!

The foundation walls of this home in Salida Colorado were constructed using Insulated Concrete Form (ICF), which is great for the insulation value and ultimately the energy savings. All this crawlspace required was some debris removal, installation of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, and Air Seal & Insulate the perimeter rim assembly with a closed cell spray foam.   

This old house had some miner ground water seepage in the basement. Our solution was the CleanSpace Encapsulation system - laying down drainage matting, 20 mil CleanSpace liner, and perimeter blanket insulation. This basement can now be used as a storage area!
