Conquering Crawl Space Humidity in Oley
Challenge
The Problem: A homeowner in Oley, PA, contacted Liberty Basement Systems due to persistent and concerning humidity levels in their crawl space. The "before" conditions were characterized by a palpable dampness, creating an unwelcoming environment and raising concerns about potential moisture-related issues impacting the home's structural integrity and indoor air quality.
Solution
The Solution: Liberty Basement Systems devised a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation and conditioning strategy to address the homeowner's concerns. The multi-faceted approach included:
- CleanSpace Encapsulation: A durable, vapor-proof barrier was installed to isolate the crawl space from the earth, preventing ground moisture from entering the area.
- SilverGlo Insulation: This advanced insulation product was integrated with the CleanSpace system to provide superior thermal performance, helping to regulate temperatures and further reduce condensation.
- TerraBlock: A specialized insulation material was applied to the crawl space floor, adding another layer of thermal protection and moisture control.
- SuperSump: A high-capacity sump pump system was installed to effectively manage and remove any bulk water that might enter the crawl space, ensuring it remains dry.
- Aspen Air Purifier: To address potential airborne contaminants and improve overall indoor air quality, an Aspen Air Purifier was integrated into the system, further enhancing the health and safety of the living environment.
The Results: The "after" transformation was dramatic. The once humid and unwelcoming crawl space was converted into a dry, clean, and well-conditioned area. The combination of CleanSpace encapsulation, SilverGlo insulation, TerraBlock, SuperSump, and the Aspen Air Purifier successfully eliminated the moisture issues. The homeowner now enjoys "worry-free living," with a crawl space that acts as a fortress against humidity and its associated problems. This project stands as another successful example of Liberty Basement Systems delivering effective and lasting solutions for homeowners.
