CASE STUDY
CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION AND V vapor BARRIER INSTALLATION IN SPOONER, WI
A homeowner in Spooner, WI, was facing a common yet frustrating issue in their property: an open crawl space with a raw sand floor. This unconditioned space was not only highly unattractive but also constantly emitted unpleasant, musty odors into the upper levels of the house.
A homeowner in Spooner, WI, was facing a common yet frustrating issue in their home: their crawl space had a sand floor, which was not only unattractive but also emitted unpleasant earthy odors. The odors made the space uncomfortable and were a constant reminder of the moisture problems lurking beneath the house. With the added concern that excess moisture could lead to potential issues such as mold growth and structural damage, the homeowner knew that this problem needed to be addressed to ensure the long-term health of their home.
Recognizing the need for a reliable, long-term solution, they reached out to us for help. After assessing the situation, we recommended our CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a proven system designed to seal and protect crawl spaces from moisture, odors, and other environmental issues. Our team installed the CleanSpace® system, effectively covering the sand floor and walls of the crawl space with a durable, high-performance plastic barrier.
The results were immediate and impressive. As you can see in the after photo, the crawl space was completely transformed. Not only is the area now odor-free, but it is also protected against moisture, preventing any further damage to the home’s foundation and structure. The CleanSpace® vapor barrier ensures that the crawl space remains dry, clean, and secure, creating a healthier environment for the entire home.
This transformation not only addressed the immediate concerns but also provided peace of mind for the homeowner, knowing that their crawl space is now a safe and efficient part of their home’s foundation. It’s a perfect example of how our solutions can turn a problem area into a reliable, secure space, enhancing the overall comfort and security of the home.
