Crawl Space Insulation Replacement — Richmond Hill, GA | Savannah Crawl Space Repair
Insulation removal and replacement for a Richmond Hill home where moisture had destroyed fiberglass batt insulation and left mold spotting on the joist faces.
Project type
Crawl space insulation removal and replacement
Problem
Home inspection during a sale transaction flagged failed crawl space insulation. On entry, the inspector found approximately 60% of the fiberglass batts had dropped from between the floor joists, many were visibly wet or compressed, and there were small areas of surface mold on exposed joist wood. The source was a combination of humidity and an unsealed dirt floor.
Service
Full removal and disposal of failed insulation, antimicrobial treatment applied to affected joist areas, installation of a new vapor barrier across the crawl space floor, and new insulation installed and secured in the joist bays.
Result
The sale transaction proceeded after the repair was documented. The buyer's agent received a written scope and completion summary. At a 60-day follow-up inspection, no new mold spotting was visible and insulation was secured properly. The vapor barrier had held without movement.
