This Florence, OR homeowner was getting ready to list her home for sale and needed some items in the crawl space handled. Insulation that had fallen down was removed, and places missing insulation were re-stuffed with fiberglass batts. The old vapor barrier was removed and a new 6-mil black plastic vapor barrier was installed. Vent screens were repaired or replaced where critters had wiggled their way in.
This Halsey area homeowner had musty smells in her home and called us for an appointment. When our Energy Consultant crawled under her home, he found mold growing! Besides being able to see the white mold growing on the wood in this Before photo, you can also see the tunnel some critter made by pushing aside the grey insulation.
She chose to encapsulate under her home (see After photo) to prevent mold from growing again. She also had us install the SaniDry CX air handling system, the SmartSump sump pump, and a full drainage system.
The client found us online and called about a shed with a metal roof that needed weatherproofing. Closed-cell spray foam was chosen as it doesn’t take up much space, seals up the leaks and then that metal roof won’t drip on them!
This "before" photo of this Corvallis attic shows how the pink insulation is really just an air filter. The pink insulation is no longer pink since air carrying the dirt and nasty mold was leaking up through the ceiling into the attic. See those lines radiating out? That is where dirt and mold were collecting! This "after" photo shows the same attic, with all the leaky areas sealed up before our crew blew in the cellulose insulation. The homeowner is now much more comfortable in this older home.
The couple that owns this Corvallis, OR home knew there were insulation issues under their home. When our Energy Consultant crawled under to investigate and take photos to show the homeowner, besides all the insulation sagging and falling down (see BEFORE photo), there was a large rodent infestation!
They moved forward with a crawl space encapsulation to address the insulation issues, the rodent infestation, and the high humidity level.
