Donna had been in been in her Shady Side, MD home for several years, and finally grew tired of cold floors in the winter and humidity-related problems in the summer. Donna took the right first step in addressing the problem by calling Complete Home Solutions to determine the root cause of her home's comfort issues. Upon arrival, our Home Comfort Specialist conducted a full inspection of the home to determine any areas of concern that could be resulting in uncomfortable temperatures. Following the inspection, the Specialist determined that the main source of any uncomfortable temperatures were coming from a crawl space that was in bad shape. The recommendation made was to fully encapsulate the crawl space to create an area isolated from the earth and outside elements. On the day of the encapsulation, our Home Comfort Technicians began by removing the old vapor barrier and insulation from the crawl space., this provided an empty area to begin the transformation. They then installed our Clean space vapor barrier which when bolted to the walls of the crawl space creates a seal that prevents any moisture or pest from entering the crawl from below. Following the installation of the vapor barrier, our Technicians used a 2 part closed cell spray foam to insulate and seal the walls. This process restricts any air from coming through the vents or cinder blocks in the crawl. The final step of this encapsulation is to install a dehumidifier that regulates the humidity to a consistent 50-55%.
Following the work, Donna could not be happier with the look or performance of her new crawl space and has already noticed a difference in the temperature of her home.

Jay's home in Shady Side, MD sat in a low-lying area in which water and humidity were prominent and causing issues underneath his home William took the right first step by calling Complete Home Solutions to assess the problem. Upon arrival, our trained Home Comfort Specialist began his analysis in the crawl space of the home, where he discovered several key indicators of William's uncomfortable first floor. With standing water in the crawl space and insulation that was in pretty rough shape, it was easy to determine the route that needed to be taken to fix the problem.
On the day of the installation, our crew began by removing all of the old batt insulation from the floor joist above, before laying down our 20mill CleanSpace vapor barrier, which when bolted to the wall creates a seal on the ground of the crawls space, making sure moisture and critters can not make their way in from below. They then sprayed the area with our 2 part closed cell spray foam insulation to all of the exterior walls. The final step to this encapsulation was to install a dehumidifier which was set to a consistent 50-55% humidity. Jay noticed an immediate difference in the floor temperature of his home and cant wait to see the difference as the weather outside begins to change.

After another summer of nasty crawl spaces, it was a pleasant surprise for our crew to see this Shady Side, MD crawl space. Brandon's crawl space was not in bad shape when we entered, however, it was not set up to keep external temperatures from entering the crawl space and affecting the comfort of his home. On the day of the job our crew began by installing our Clean space vapor barrier which when bolted to the walls of the crawl space creates a seal that prevents any moisture or pest from entering the crawl from below. Following the installation of the vapor barrier, our Technicians used a 2 part closed cell spray foam to insulate and seal the walls. This process restricts any air from coming through the vents or cinder blocks in the crawl. The final step of this encapsulation is to install a dehumidifier that regulates the humidity to a consistent 50-55%.These improvements will help the temperatures throughout the home, as well as prevent any moisture damage that may arise in the future.

Insufficient attic insulation and unsealed holes in this attic caused energy loss in the home and caused higher heating and cooling bills. To solve this concern, Complete Home Solution's Installation Team removed the existing insulation and replaced it with Dr. Energy Saver's recommended levels of blown-in cellulose insulation.
