Brand New Crawl Space Installation: $0 Down and 18 Monthly Payments

This full-scale crawl space remediation project was designed to restore and protect a residential crawl space from damage and infestations. The project covered everything from thorough cleaning and sanitation to advanced rodent exclusion techniques, enhanced insulation, and ongoing rodent monitoring.

The project successfully revitalized the crawl space, enhancing its structural integrity, air quality, and thermal efficiency. Long-term protection measures were put in place to ensure the crawl space remains clean, dry, and rodent-free, substantially reducing the risk of future issues and damage.

Tasks Performed:

1. Clean and Sanitize:
   • Removed old insulation, vapor barriers, and all forms of debris including animal feces, nests, and carcasses.
   • Thoroughly sanitized the area with a disinfecting mold inhibitor that eliminates viruses, bacteria, mold, and mildew.
2. Rodent Exclusion:
   • Sealed all potential entry points using a combination of concrete, steel wire, and construction adhesive.
   • Re-screened vents as necessary to prevent future intrusions.
3. Prescriptive Air Seal:
   • Applied foam sealant around areas where plumbing, ducting, or electrical wiring penetrates the crawl space to prevent air leaks.
4. Vapor Barrier Installation:
   • Installed a 6-mil black plastic vapor barrier, secured along the edges with deep ground stakes and sealed at the seams with high-grade tape.
5. Insulation Upgrades:
   • Wrapped water supply lines with R11 fiberglass insulation.
   • Installed R30 fiberglass batted insulation in the flooring, secured with durable synthetic twine.
   • Applied R11 insulation to the main trunk wrap.
6. Crawl Space Door Installation:
   • Constructed a sealed, treated-wood frame around the crawl space entrance with a vertically-mounted wood cover secured by a latch for easy access and enhanced security.
7. Rodent Protection Plan:
   • Initiated a year-long rodent monitoring plan with quarterly checks for new rodent activity and additional exclusion measures as needed.
   • Provided an ongoing warranty against rodent damage to the remediated areas, contingent on maintaining an active rodent control plan.

Project Highlights:

• Comprehensive approach covering cleaning, exclusion, insulation, and ongoing protection.
• Use of high-quality materials and innovative techniques for lasting results.
• Focus on both immediate remediation and long-term prevention of issues.
