Installing space insulation during your encapsulation can greatly reduce the energy costs of your family home.
Recently Cantey Foundation Specialists help Richard and Jan D. of Cornelis, NC get their crawlspace in order. They had a handful of ongoing moisture issues and were ready to get an encapsulation done. Mold and mildew were not something that they wanted to be breathing, or have their family breathe. They will also be doing another project with Cantey in the future, but Richard and Jan decided moisture control was a top priority for their family.
This Charlotte, SC crawlspace was full of moisture and debris. The Cantey Foundation Specialists Team cleaned out the space and installed an encapsulation to help control moisture and protect the home from future damage.
This crawlspace needed a Clean space installation to protect the foundation walls, pillars and joists from becoming deteriorated from the mold and humidity on the horse farm. Being built off of a steep hill, there was a lot of water run off that would get in the crawlspace, which is a big problem in the long run for any foundation. Along with It getting in the crawlspace, the owner had trouble with flooding and pooling water around the farm, which worried her even more because it was eventually going to be a problem. She told us that she didn't have time to worry about the crawlspace when her farmland was in the condition it was. So after calling Cantey, we assured her that we would take care of it and put her mind at ease.
Watching the WIS channel on tv, Larry and Geraldine G. saw a Cantey Foundation Specialists commercial offering free estimates on sagging floors and wood replacement. Knowing that they not only had crawl space issues but also a damaged subfloor from a kitchen leak, they called Cantey right away for an inspection. System Design Specialist James Davis had the solution for their problems: our SmartJack system to correct the sagging floors, a drainage system for future water issues, and replacement of the damaged subfloors. This Before & After picture shows the french drain that was installed to prevent future floodings in the crawl space. It successfully leads water out of the crawl space and away from the home.
