Crawl Space Encapsulation in Peacham, Vermont | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
A homeowner in Peacham, Vermont, had a crawl space with exposed soil, debris, and insulation that had fallen out of place. The lack of proper ground cover allowed moisture to move freely into the space beneath the home, creating an inconsistent, unprotected environment. There were also concerns with structural support in certain areas of the crawl space. Our team conducted a full crawl space inspection and confirmed that the space lacked any form of encapsulation. The exposed ground and existing conditions allowed moisture to remain present throughout the crawl space. In addition, areas of the structure indicated the need for additional support, and no system was in place to monitor potential water beneath the encapsulation.
Solution
To improve the condition of the crawl space, we installed a complete encapsulation and support system designed to create a more stable and controlled environment:
• Drainage Matting System – Installed across the crawl space floor to create a separation layer and provide a more even surface
• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System – Installed along the floor and walls to cover the exposed ground and help limit moisture from entering the space
• SmartJack® Support System – Installed to provide additional structural support and help stabilize areas of the crawl space
• SmartDrain® System – Installed to provide a simple way to monitor for any water presence beneath the encapsulation system
The crawl space in Peacham, Vermont, is now clean, covered, and significantly improved. The encapsulation system creates a more controlled environment by separating the space from ground moisture, while the SmartJack system adds stability, and the SmartDrain provides an added layer of awareness. The overall condition of the crawl space is now more secure and dependable. This crawl space encapsulation project in Peacham, Vermont, highlights the importance of addressing both environmental conditions and structural support. By combining encapsulation with targeted support and monitoring solutions, Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems delivered a long-term result that improves the overall condition and reliability of the space beneath the home.
