Crawlspace Vapor Barrier- Dieppe, NB
Challenge
This homeowner, Nat in Dieppe, NS was in dire need of some assistant with regards to her crawlspace. The dirt floor was very wet, and organic material such as mold and plants were growing right under their home. This was affecting not only their homes integrity, but the air quality throughout their home. She called Ridgeback Basement Systems requesting help immediately, as she was aware of the issues this crawlspace was creating for her home, and personal health.
Solution
We soon realized she was not lying when she said immediate help was necessary. Our sales specialist even noted it was the worst smelling crawlspace he ever went into (and there have been a lot!). It was important to create that barrier between the ground floor and the home as the moisture would eventually create molding on the wooden supports of the home. With the insulation of our CleanSpace product, paired with drainage matting, we were able to do just that. We also installed our SilverGlo insulation product. Now that the home was encapsulated from the ground, warming the home was the next main concern. Our team was very happy to be able to help Nat with all her concerns. Her home does not smell of old stagnant water.
