Transforming Comfort in Ridgeland, WI: Solving Cold Floors and Musty Smells with CleanSpace® and TerraBlock™ Insulation

Challenge

In Ridgeland, WI, a homeowner reached out to us, frustrated with the uncomfortably cold kitchen floors and a persistent musty smell that seemed to linger no matter what. These issues had become a source of constant discomfort, especially during the colder months. The homeowner was eager for a solution that would tackle the problem at its core, ensuring that the home was both comfortable and healthy. After discussing their concerns, we began the process by scheduling a thorough inspection to determine the source of the problem.

Solution

Upon inspecting the home, our System Design Specialist quickly identified that the root cause of the issues lay in the crawl space. This often-overlooked area was contributing to the cold floors and musty odor. To resolve these problems, we recommended a comprehensive solution: our CleanSpace® system, TerraBlock™ bottom crawl space insulation, and spray foam insulation. The CleanSpace® system sealed the crawl space, eliminating the moisture and musty smell, while the TerraBlock™ insulation and spray foam enhanced the space’s energy efficiency, preventing heat loss and maintaining a more consistent temperature.

The results were immediate and remarkable. The musty odor disappeared, and the kitchen floors became noticeably warmer, creating a more inviting and comfortable environment. This transformation not only solved the homeowner’s issues but significantly improved the overall comfort of the home, allowing the family to enjoy their space without the lingering discomforts of cold floors or unpleasant smells.
