Cold and Damp Crawlspace Insulated and Encapsulated in Lake Nebagamon, WI

These homeowners in Lake Nabagamon, WI wanted a 4 season home to enjoy, but their cold, damp crawl space was limiting them to a 3 season space. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo helped these homeowners with a free no-obligation estimate in order to offer them the best solution for their home. After inspection, Henrik suggested the homeowners encapsulate their crawlspace using SprayFoam, Drainage Matting, TerraBlock™, and CleanSpace® in order to keep the space dry and warm.

Foreman Nick Woods led this installation along with a team. The team started by placing using SprayFoam to insulate the walls of the crawl space. They then placed down Drainage Matting in order to avoid future moisture in the space. To follow, TerraBlock™ insulation was placed to avoid cool air entering the space from beneath the home. Finally, CleanSpace® is placed on top to cover the walls and floor of the crawl space. 

This crawl space encapsulation will keep this home dry and warm during all 4 seasons.
