Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: What a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System in Richmond Hill, GA Looks Like
Chris B. of Richmond Hill, GA called Lowcountry Basement Systems with a request to receive a quote to have his crawl space encapsulated. Chris was concerned that his crawl space was not properly sealed off from the earth. During a routine termite inspection, it was noticed that mold was growing under his home.
Although Chris has previously had a plastic sheet laid down in the crawl space, it didn’t stop the moisture problem under the home. The crawl space vents were not sealed, nor was a dehumidifier installed. Lowcountry Basement Systems was able to help Chris by installing a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System.
