Volunteer Saturday- Encapsulated a crawlspace!

some of the crew getting together for a photo shootCheryl called to have work done in her crawlspace. She was fighting with the musty smells and mold coming up into her house from her dirt crawlspace. The smell she was experiencing is the moisture from the ground, and the outside air. After an apointment with one of our system design specialists, Cheryl had signed up to have the to work done. She had to postpone the job several times due to medical issues. As time went on she had called us back and had to cancel the job became of her mounting medical bills.

As a team, the crewmembers, sales guys, and office staff, we got together and had a fun and enjoyable experience. We completed the work for her on a saturday. We helped remove her things she had been storing down there and helped her sort through what she wanted to save or toss. The rotting wood posts that were holding her foundation were removed and replaced with 3 smartjacks- insuring that her foundation will be got to go for years. The dirt ground was then encapsulated with Cleanspace. We  seale the edges with tape and spray foam so the ground air and humidity would stay out.

It was rewarding seeing Cheryl so thankful. She was so excited to see the end results. We got a follow up call from her saying that through the hottest part of the summer she didnt have to use her AC. She was impressed with it smelling so lovely, and thanked us again and again.
