We identified the cause of microbial growth to the wooden structural elements of this crawlspace to be a plumbing leak that over time, created the perfect conditions conducive to microbial growth. After a thorough evaluation of the subfloor the fiberglass insulation was removed, bagged, and disposed of properly. After using the CO2 cleaning method, we applied an EPA Registered white fungicidal coating to all wooden structural elements to prevent future microbial growth. Once the fungicidal coating was dry, we did a light regrade of the Earth floor in preparation for the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. Next, we rolled out Drainage Matting that allows moisture and air to flow freely underneath the liner as a passive radon system. We then installed 2" foamboard and closed cell spray foam on the perimeter exterior walls and rim assembly to keep the crawlspace insulated. This allows the subfloor to be accessible for plumbing and electrical maintenance. Lastly, we installed the 20 mil, antimicrobial CleanSpace liner over the drainage matting and foundation walls to help prevent moisture, mold, & Radon from re-entering the crawlspace.
