#Clean space encapsulation install#
If you are super concerned about having a leak, then we could always install a SmartSump or SmartDrain so you will be alerted if anything happens down there. However, with CleanSpace, nothing is ruined. But if you had batts secured between the joists, or closed cell foam, then it would get ruined with repairs or leaks. The second advantage of the encapsulated crawlspace verses insulation on the underside of the floor decking is that it provides clean visual and open access to all plumbing and electrical coming through the floor. They have a bright clean area where they can see what is going on and problem solve. It makes their job incredibly better, easier, and faster. What happens if I have a plumbing leak or need work done down there?įirst, if you ever need work done down there, your technician will LOVE YOU for having the CleanSpace installed. This option is always a separate line item. This option adds $30 – $50 per vent, depending on size and obstructions. This upgrade is a nice way to eliminate the look of the vents. COVERS – We can install gray vent covers on the outside of the crawlspace that can be removed. So the vents still appear to be there, but are no longer functional. This eliminates the vents, without changing the aesthetics of the vents from the outside. INCOGNITO – We can cover the vents (from inside the crawlspace) with a material, and then spray closed cell foam over the material. We have two options for sealing up the vents to encapsulate the crawlspace.ġ. What happens to the vents in my crawlspace? Now you have a complete seal from the ground, all the way up to your bottom plate and floor decking. When we install Icynene closed cell spray foam on the walls, we also fix the Rim Joist leakage by spraying closed cell there as well.
