From Damp to Dry: How Crawl Space Encapsulation Solved Water Problems in Mountain View, AR

The Problem: A Vented Crawl Space with Water and Insulation Issues

When Jeff B. of Mountain View, AR, called about his crawl space, he was facing a common but serious problem: a vented crawl space that was holding moisture, damaged insulation, and debris left behind by builders. Water issues were becoming a growing concern, and the traditional vented setup was only making things worse.

Not only was the damp environment threatening the home’s air quality and structure, but the old insulation had begun to fail — sagging, trapping moisture, and losing effectiveness. Debris, leftover construction materials, and gaps in the crawl space door and vents added to the problem, leaving the home vulnerable to mold, odors, and energy loss.

The Solution: Professional Crawl Space Encapsulation

Our team guided Jeff and his wife through the benefits of full crawl space encapsulation, designed to transform damp, unhealthy spaces into dry, clean, and energy-efficient environments. The process included:

• Removal of Old Insulation & Debris – All damaged insulation and leftover materials were cleared, filling an entire dumpster.

• Moisture Control with CleanSpace® Encapsulation System – A durable, sealed liner was installed across the entire crawl space floor and walls, creating a protective barrier against ground moisture.

• Water Removal with the SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump – A sump pump with a condensate pump was installed to actively discharge water and prevent pooling.

• High-Performance Insulation – SilverGlo® panels were applied around the perimeter to improve energy efficiency and seal gaps.

• Vent & Access Solutions with EverLast™ Crawl Space Doors – Custom vent covers and a new EverLast™ crawl space door sealed off outside air and pests.

• Dehumidification – A professional-grade dehumidifier was installed to maintain dry, healthy air year-round.

Why These Methods Matter

Every method chosen was essential to long-term protection:

• Encapsulation prevents future water damage, mold growth, and wood rot.

• Sealing vents and doors stops humid outside air, which can condense and create further moisture problems.

• SilverGlo insulation improves comfort and lowers energy bills by reducing heat loss.

• A sump pump and dehumidifier keep the environment stable, protecting both the crawl space and the living space above.

By combining these solutions, Jeff’s crawl space went from a damp, cluttered liability to a clean, efficient, and fully protected foundation for his home.

The Results: Peace of Mind and Lasting Protection

After the project was complete, Jeff inspected the crawl space alongside our team. He was thrilled with the transformation — the space was bright, dry, and well-sealed, with a system in place to keep it that way for years to come.

Instead of worrying about moisture, odors, or insulation falling, Jeff and his wife now enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing their crawl space is protected and their home’s foundation is healthier.
