Crawl Space Encapsulation, Sealed and Insulated in Marinette, WI
Before
The crawl space in Marinette, WI had exposed soil, elevated humidity, and uninsulated foundation surfaces that allowed moisture and cold air to move freely into the home. The rim joist areas were poorly sealed, contributing to drafts, condensation, and energy loss, while the crawl space walls lacked proper insulation to control temperature and moisture. These conditions are common in Wisconsin crawl spaces, where groundwater moisture and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles create ongoing comfort and air quality concerns.
After
The crawl space was fully encapsulated with CleanSpace®, creating a durable vapor barrier that seals out ground moisture and helps prevent humidity from entering the space. The rim joists were insulated and air sealed using RimTight® to block air leakage, reduce condensation risk, and improve overall energy efficiency. Crawl space walls were then insulated with SilverGlo® rigid foam panels to provide continuous thermal insulation and moisture resistance.
The crawl space is now sealed, insulated, and moisture-controlled, improving indoor comfort, air quality, and long-term energy performance for the home.
