MDH Signature Crawl Space Encapsulation for Deanna Cox, Daphne, AL
Service Overview
At MDH Foundation Repair, we understand that a well-maintained crawl space is crucial for a home’s structural integrity and indoor air quality. When Deanna Cox and her husband reached out for help with their 30-year-old home in Daphne, AL, they had already experienced disappointing results with a competitor. They sought a solution to address their crawl space challenges effectively, and we delivered our signature crawl space encapsulation service.
Older homes, especially those in the Gulf Coast region, often struggle with high humidity, which can lead to mold, fungal growth, and structural damage. To combat these issues, we developed a tailored plan that included insulation removal, crawl space clean-up, and encapsulation with premium moisture control solutions.
PROJECT PROCESS
- Assessment and Planning: Our team conducted a detailed evaluation of the crawl space and designed a step-by-step plan to resolve the identified issues.
- Insulation Removal: We safely removed old insulation from the floor joists, a necessary step to eliminate moisture retention and fungal growth.
- Fungal Treatment: Although the fungal growth was handled by a third-party service prior to our encapsulation, this proactive measure was essential to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the system.
- Crawl Space Clean-Up: We removed debris and prepared the crawl space for encapsulation.
-
Encapsulation: Our Signature Crawl Space Encapsulation system was installed, which included:
- A perimeter drainage system with a heavy-duty sump pump to manage water intrusion.
- A durable 20-mil vapor barrier to seal the space from moisture.
- A top-quality dehumidifier to maintain dry air and subfloor structure.
METRICS FOR SUCCESS
- Complete removal of old insulation.
- Effective moisture control and prevention of future fungal growth.
- The Coxs’ satisfaction with the cleanliness and functionality of their crawl space.
MAINTENANCE AND FOLLOW-UP
Our signature crawl space encapsulation system comes with an industry-leading warranty:
- Lifetime warranty on the vapor barrier fabric.
- Five years on equipment parts.
- Three years on labor.
