Photo Album: Encapsulating Crawl Space in Coral Gables, Florida
After noticing a persistent foul odor in her home, Tiffany suspected that the crawl space beneath her Coral Gables, Florida, residence might be the source. She reached out to LRE Foundation Repair and scheduled a complimentary inspection with one of our expert Design Specialists to identify any underlying issues and recommend an effective solution. Upon entering the crawl space, our specialist immediately observed high humidity levels, excess moisture, and the lack of a proper moisture control system.
During the consultation, our specialist explained that moisture from Florida’s seasonal rainstorms was becoming trapped in the crawl space, creating the ideal conditions for mold and mildew to thrive, ultimately causing the unpleasant odor inside the home. To address the issue, we recommended installing our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to regulate moisture and keep the area clean and dry year-round.
Tiffany approved the plan, and our team got to work. We began by clearing debris and then thoroughly sealing the crawl space with the CleanSpace moisture barrier. A specialized dehumidifier was also installed to maintain dry, healthy air throughout the space. For added protection, we installed the EverLast crawl space door, which provides an airtight seal to keep out outside air and pests.
Upon completion, Tiffany was thrilled with the results. The odor was gone, and she now has peace of mind knowing her crawl space is protected from moisture damage and the air inside her home is clean and safe.
