Mount Vernon, IN Crawlspace made into Healthy Space

Here, you can see the dirt crawlspace floor and one concrete block support pillar. The entire spacious crawlspace interior was vented and moist.

Here is a photo of the crawlspace before CleanSpace installation from another angle. There was evidence of mice and other pests.

Here is a picture of the crawlspace entrance, which was previously covered with a plywood cover and shingles, which was not protecting the crawlspace from outside air.

Here, you can see portions of the HVAC, plumbling, and electrical systems running along the wooden subfloor, or ceiling, of the crawlspace. These systems will function more efficiently if the crawlspace is isolated from the dirt and groundwater surrounding it.

In the background, you can see that the crew has begun to wrap the concrete block support pillars and install the SilverGlo insulation.

Here is a picture of the SilverGlo along the crawlspace walls. SilverGlo will insulate the crawlspace and prevent the heating and cooling fluctuations that can decrease the energy efficiency of an HVAC system.

A benefit of CleanSpace that isn't often mentioned is that it is a bright white color, which will reflect the light from these bulbs and create a brighter, easier to use storage space. No more dark and creepy corners!

Here, you can see the SilverGlo on the walls and the CleanSpace being installed along it.

As the crew installs the CleanSpace, they use a durable, patented tape to secure all the seams, making the CleanSpace into a sealed system.

In this photo, the CleanSpace seams have been taped down to create a fully sealed system. Note how much brighter the crawlspace is with the reflective white of Cleanspace!

Here, you can see how the CleanSpace has been installed all the way from the bottom of the subfloor throughout the entire crawlspace. In order to make the crawlspace as energy efficient as possible, SilverGlo has also been installed in the rim joists to prevent heating and cooling loss at that point.

Here is Richard, the project foreman, assembling the discharge line for the SuperSump sump pump. A quality discharge line is essential to keep any crawlspace dry--it must be long enough to move the water far from the foundation walls so the water doesn't seep back into the crawlspace.

Here, you can see where the discharge line exits the house and where the crew is prepping the crawlspace entry for a Turtl crawlspace door.

Here is the finished exterior of the home with the Turtl crawlspace door in place and only the IceGuard visible to show you where the discharge line exits the home.
