Jeff of Conway, New Hampshire had a crawlspace that was poorly insulated and allowing cold air to enter his home during the winter months. Additionally, the dirt floor made the space very displeasing and unusable. Jeff wanted to find a solution to keep the space clean and his home warmer.

Lastly, our team sprayed 3" thick of polyurethane closed-cell foam around the perimeter of the crawlspace to prevent heat loss. This foam was then painted with an intumescent paint to meet the fire regulation code.

The crawlspace beneath the old farmhouse in Bartlett, New Hampshire, was a nasty, cold, drafty, and wet place. For years, the homeowners tried to ignore it, hoping the problems would disappear. But as the winter winds began to howl and the snow started to pile up, they knew they could no longer ignore the issue.

So, they called in Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems experts to take a look.

One of Northern Basement's system design technicians arrived on a blustery winter morning. They suited up in their protective gear and headed into the crawlspace, their powerful flashlights cutting through the darkness.

As the days went by, the crawlspace began to transform. The air grew warmer and drier, and the musty smell faded. And when the job was finished, the homeowners were thrilled with the results. Their crawlspace was now clean, dry, and comfortable, free from drafts and water damage.
