Crawlspace Insulation in Myrtle Beach

A Myrtle Beach family reached out to Carolina Energy Conservation to address mold, rot, and odors in their crawl space. After an initial energy evaluation, the best choice discovered for this family was to remove moldy and damaged insulation and fully encapsulate the crawlspace. They installed the CleanSpace™ Encapsulation System, a specialized barrier designed to reduce moisture and airborne particles while enhancing overall energy efficiency. This system also helps to prevent future mold growth and lower energy bills by maintaining a stable temperature and reducing humidity. With the encapsulation in place, the crawlspace is a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient space.

The homeowner in Murrells Inlet noticed an odor coming from their crawlspace and contacted Carolina Energy Conservation for an energy evaluation. The evaluation revealed that their encapsulation had started to rot and develop mold, causing an unpleasant smell. To address these issues, the decision was made to remove the mold and rot and install CleanSpace Encapsulation. CleanSpace encapsulation creates a barrier that prevents water and moisture from entering the crawlspace, effectively preventing mold growth. This barrier keeps the crawlspace dry and sealed off from moisture, thereby preventing mold from developing. With this installed, the family will no longer have to deal with the unpleasant odor, and their crawlspace will be mold-free.

A homeowner in Murrells Inlet turned to Carolina Energy Conservation to address mold and moisture problems in their crawl space. After a detailed energy evaluation, they opted for the CleanSpace™ Encapsulation System. This solution seals the crawl space, effectively reducing moisture and preventing mold growth. By minimizing airborne particles and controlling humidity, CleanSpace™ significantly improves overall air quality and energy efficiency. The encapsulation creates a more comfortable living environment and can lead to lower energy bills by maintaining a stable temperature. The result is a healthier, more efficient home with fewer moisture-related issues and increased comfort throughout the year.

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Summerville, SC

Crawl space encapsulation adds a thick layer of internal insulation around the crawl space walls. This vapor barrier covering the floor creates a fair amount of insulation between the floor and the ground. This insulation protects the crawl space and the floor above it from external temperature extremes — keeping the area warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Passive insulation makes the house more energy-efficient, meaning the HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to keep the house cozy. Lower AC usage translates to lower energy consumption and lower electric bills.

Mold and other fungi such as lichen and mildew thrive in dark, moist, humid places. An unsealed crawl space is an ideal habitat for fungi colonies. But eliminating moisture and keeping the air in constant circulation inside the crawl space makes the environment inhospitable to mold.

 

Mold in any part of the house is not something to take lightly. Mold’s characteristic musty odor is just the start of the problems. As mold grows, it releases dust-like spores and other micro-toxins into the air that can cause allergic reactions and respiratory illnesses. Also, mold feeds on the material it grows on, causing it to rot or wither.
