Basement & Radon Solutions, BRS Pros helped Eddie get an encapsulated crawl space with these steps…1. Spray foams all of the rim joists & sill plates in the crawl space. This spray foam is Class A Fire rated, polyurethane, and closed cell spray insulation.2. We installed our 9 mil vapor barrier on the walls in the crawl space. This vapor barrier is a white 100% woven reinforced liner. The wall liner was mechanically fastened/sealed to the foundation walls. 3. We added our Thermax rigid insulation. We installed the 2 thick (R-13) Thermax rigid closed cell insulation over foundation wall liner. Class A fire-rated. The Thermax rigid insulation was used to insulate the crawl space doors. All Thermax joint seams were taped. Thermax is a glass-fiber-infused polyisocyanurate foam core laminated between 1.0 mil smooth reflective aluminum facers on both sides. Insulation color is silver.4. Then we installed a Radon Ready mitigation system. A 4″ suction pipe was installed below radon barrier/ground liner. In the event the home is tested for radon in the future and it’s found to be elevated. This component will be used with the additional exterior radon system to correct radon levels.5. We installed a 15 mil vapor barrier to the floor & piers in the crawl space. It is our premium (walk on, store on) 15-mil white 100% woven reinforced liner. This 15-mil woven ground liner will control moisture vapor and dampness from the ground. Our woven ground and wall liners are antibacterial, meaning mold and other organic growth will not grow to our liner.6. The we installed an Aprilaire 1820 dehumidifier in the crawl space for Eddie. This model will remove up to 70 pints of moisture a day! Proudly made in the USA and comes with a 5 year manufactures warranty. 7. Lastly, we installed the Hygrometer. This is a remote temperature & relative humidity meter that is a stand alone unit with one remote sensor. The wireless remote sensor was mounted in Eddie’s crawl space to give him an accurate reading of relative humidity. This product will help him monitor the effective humidity of the dehumidifier in the crawl space. It was a pleasure helping Eddie make his home safe, healthy, and happy!”
