Crawlspace Encapsulation in Pennsauken, NJ

Old house can be not only expensive to heat and cool but also uncomfortable. This client wanted warm floors in the winter and lower utility bills. We helped them get both by encapsulating the crawlspace. The crawlspace was vented to the outside so cold, dry air was coming into the house in the winter and making the floors cold. Because the ductwork for the house is also in the crawlspace, the outside vents were also contributing to high heating bills.

The crawlspace walls were insulated with R-13 rigid foam board and the wooden rims were sealed and insulated with closed cell spray foam. The floor was covered with a super-thick reinforced vapor barrier to prevent moisture from coming up out of the ground and into the sealed crawlspace. And of course the vents were closed with our exclusive vent covers that can be removed if water gets on top of the vapor barrier from a plumbing leak.

This crawlspace is bright, clean, and comfortable now!
