Before Encapsulation
The vapor barrier in this crawl space was so old and damaged, not only was it not doing it's job of keeping moisture out, but it was allowing weeds and roots to grow within the space - which you definitely do not want!
Adding Drainage Matting
By adding Drainage Matting to this space, any water that is able to enter the crawl space will be funneled by the drainage matting into the proper drainage system, and OUT of your crawl space!
Encapsulation Complete!
Now THIS is a space that is fully protected from water intrusion and humidity damage, and it will remain this way for years to come!
