Job completed for Michael R.

Basement & Radon Solutions, BRS Pros, did quite a bit of work for Michael to encapsulate his crawlspace.1. Ripped out all old & contaminated sub-floor insulation.2. Cleaned the floor joists and sub-floor of wood decaying fungi and organic growth. Then fogged the crawlspace with an EPA registered fungicide. This fungicide will kill 99.9% of mold spores and will inhibit the growth of mold and mildew.3. Installed a Hydra-Channel water drainage system. The system in installed in a trench dug adjacent to the foundation footing along the interior perimeter. The Hydra-Channel is engineered fusion welded, high strength polyethylene water system that removes storm water up to 70% faster than a pipe and stone system (aka French Drain). It will allow water to flow freely to the in-ground sealed sump pump/basin that is located in the right rear interior of the crawlspace. The Hydra-Channel system will carry a five year transferable warranty.4. Add new R-19 Kraft fiberglass insulation to the crawlspace.5. We encapsulated the crawlspace by adding a Thermal Shield 90-mil wall liner and the premium 15-mil ground liner to the crawlspace. The Thermal Shield Liner is Class A Fire Rated with a zero perm rate. It also reflects the natural occurring heat generated in the crawlspace away from the foundation walls to provide a much warmer space. The Premium Ground Liner is walk on/store on, white 100% woven reinforced liner. Both of these liners are antibacterial, meaning mold and other organic growth will not grow to the liners. Under the Premium Ground Liner we installed a radon ready pipe system. This system will be used used in the future when the home is tested for radon gas and requires a radon system.6. We installed an Aprilaire 1820 Dehumidifier for Michael’s crawlspace. This dehumidifier is made in the USA and also has a 5 year manufactures warranty.7. Lastly we installed a remote Hygrometer(humidity sensor). This sensor tells Michael the temperature and relative humidity of his crawlspace. Michael is able to monitor his crawlspace from inside his home safely by the monitor mounted inside his home.It was a pleasure helping Michael get his home happy, healthy, and safe!
