Photo Album: Encapsulating Crawlspace and Adding Supports, Lexington, MA
A homeowner in Lexington, Massachusetts has been living in their home since 1974 and has made several improvements over the years. This year, they wanted to address pest and insulation issues in their crawlspace and contacted EFS for a free inspection. During the inspection, Design Specialist Kenny Calabrese identified sagging beams in the crawlspace and recommended installing CleanSpace Encapsulation, Rim Joist Insulation, EverLast Crawlspace Door, and SmartJacks.
The Installation Team first cleaned out debris to prepare for the installation of the products. They then installed 3 SmartJacks under the main beam for additional support, followed by CleanSpace Encapsulation on the floors and walls. The encapsulation was secured using strong white adhesive tape, and rim joist insulation was sprayed around the perimeter of the crawlspace to fully encapsulate the space. Finally, the team installed the EverLast Crawlspace door to prevent pests from entering the space.
After the installation, the crawlspace was fully encapsulated, and supports were added under the main beam, giving the homeowners confidence in the space's stability and protection against pests and cold drafts.
