Photo Album: Encapsulating Crawl Space for Moisture Control in St. Petersburg, Florida

Mark from St. Petersburg, Florida, had observed a peculiar instance where the floors inside his home had been sloping upwards, causing a significant tripping hazard in his living room. After requesting an inspection of the crawl space beneath his home from LRE Foundation Repair, an LRE Design Specialist found that the floor joists supporting the floors had become warped due to excessive moisture. In addition to replacing parts of the subfloor, the LRE team installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to regulate and control moisture levels. First, a waterproof plastic liner was installed to cover every square inch of the crawl space and prevent moisture penetration. Next, the team installed a proprietary dehumidifier that will work to keep the air in the space clean and dry. Mark’s floors are now stable and secure, safeguarded from moisture damage from below.
