This was a NJ code compliant insulated crawl space.
The before picture shows a typical plastic liner over the earth floor in the crawl. The entire 1200 sq ft of plastic had water pooling on top of it. This was occuring due to warm air migrating towards the cool crawl space all summer long. As the warm air cools the relative humidity increases and condensation happens on every surface. This created a mold condition within less than 2 years of the crawl space being insulated with fiberglass and the liner put down.
The after picture shows our patented CLEAN SPACE crawl encapsulation system, that prevents such moisture problems in a crawl space, will help detect any plumbing leaks, improves the comfort above (warm floors in the winter) and greatly reduces energy consumption.
This customer in the Silver Ridge development in Toms River NJ found that the crawl spaces in her new home had major concerns. The #1 concern was that there was no insulation in a fully vented crawl space. The second concern was that the moisture level in this crawl space could buckle wood floors above, develop mold, and make the house smell musty in the summer.
The best solution was to have Dave Hoh's Home Comfort & Energy Experts install a patented CLEANSPACE crawl space encapsulation system. This method resulted in a very dry, warm, clean and safe crawl space that will last throughout the life of her home.

This homeowner retired to the Holiday City-Berkeley neighborhood in Toms River, NJ. The owner contacts us because their house felt cold and drafty during the winter. Our customer also had concerns about the attics old fiberglass insulation being inadequate.
When our team inspected the owner’s attic we found the attic was not air sealed and was poorly insulated with old fiberglass insulation. Our team spray foamed the rim joists and properly air sealed the attics gaps, holes and soffits with our orange ZypFoam sealant. Finally our crew built catwalk dams to contain our Blown-in TruSoft Cellulose insulation. After we Blown-in our TruSoft Cellulose insulation we clean the attic up so the owner can enjoy their properly insulted attic.
Our customer now has a more comfortable and energy efficient house.
A customer in Toms River, NJ, had a poorly insulated, vented crawl space. This type of crawl space allows outside air to enter, leading to temperature fluctuations in the home and the risk of mold due to condensation. By sealing the vents and walls with SilverGlo foam boards, spray foaming the rim joists, and installing a vapor barrier on the floor, we can resolve these issues and improve the home's comfort.
A homeowner in Toms River, NJ, was struggling with year-round comfort issues, with a drafty home in winter and excessive warmth in summer. During our free home evaluation, we identified several problems in the attic, including insufficient insulation, leaky ducts, inadequate air sealing, and a lack of baffle vents for proper ventilation. To resolve these issues, we air-sealed the attic, repaired the ducts, installed baffle vents, and upgraded the insulation with TruSoft cellulose to an optimal R-60 value. Now, the home is both significantly more comfortable and energy-efficient.
