Crawl Space Encapsulation — Ardsley Park, Savannah | Savannah Crawl Space Repair
Full crawl space encapsulation for a 1950s Ardsley Park home with exposed soil, failing old insulation, and persistent musty odor throughout the first floor.
Project type
Full crawl space encapsulation
Problem
Homeowner reported a musty odor strongest near the hallway and kitchen. Home was built in 1952 with block foundation. Inspection found exposed Georgia red clay soil, deteriorated fiberglass insulation hanging from joists, one partially open crawl space vent, and humidity readings at 78% inside the crawl space.
Service
Full encapsulation package: removal of old insulation, 20-mil liner installation across the floor and up the walls, pier wrapping, sealed vents, new access door gasket, and a crawl space dehumidifier with gravity drain routed to the exterior.
Result
Crawl space humidity dropped to 52% within the first 30 days post-installation. Homeowner reported the hallway odor was undetectable within two weeks. The space went from exposed clay and hanging insulation to a clean, sealed, bright-white environment. Follow-up inspection at 90 days confirmed no moisture concerns.
