Most homeowners don't think about it but, believe it or not even small crevices like these can be huge energy wasters. Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva can do a full inspection of your home and find all of your energy wasters for you.  Let us help you start to "Live Comfortably & Efficiently"!

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Dover, DE.

Before After
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Dover, DE. Crawl Space Encapsulation in Dover, DE.

This homeowner in Dover, DE was struggling with their crawl space. Their crawl space was leaking water and was not properly insulated causing access water, mold, humidity and high utility costs.

 

Dr. Energy Saver has installed a SmartSump, Drainage Matting, SilverGlo and a CleanSpace Encapsulation system to solve these homeowners concerns.

 

The SmartSump is installed at the lowest point in the crawl space. There, the SmartSump will collect access water and pump it outside.

 

The Drainage Matting is dimpled and installed over the crawl space floor to provide space for water flow.

 

SilverGlo insulation is installed along the walls of the crawl space to prevent any air flow into the crawlspace.

 

Finally, the crawl space is encapsulated. The CleanSpace Encapsulation liner is installed over the drainage matting and fastened to the walls. The results are much lower humidity in the crawl space, a dry, clean crawl space and lower utility costs.

 

These homeowners can finally live comfortably in their own home!

Radon Testing & Mitigation 

Radon is a naturally occurring invisible & odorless gas that can have a big impact on the air quality of your home. Radon is also the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoke. High levels of radon gas are commonly found throughout Delaware & E. Shore Maryland and because radon gas cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted the only way to ensure that you and your family are not affected by this dangerous gas is to have one of our experts visit your home and perform proper testing. Radon testing is the fastest & most effective way to ensure the safety of your family. Depending on the results of the test, Lawson Home Services can offer several radon mitigation solutions that will limit exposure to the gas and also ventilate it away from your home. Our radon mitigation methods are highly successful and we always stand behind our work! To learn more about radon gas mitigation and testing call or click today!

Job Stories From Dover, DE
Crawl Space Insulation in Dover, DE

Older homes can be a challenge to heat and cool.  Energy was inexpensive at the time and money was tight in post depression times.  Because of this not a lot of importance was placed on insulation and air sealing. It's always easier to install the energy efficient measures when the house is built. When we go back to redo things afterwards a lot has to be torn away to get to the places where additional insulation is most needed. This homeowner in Dover, DE, wanted to make her basement warmer in winter. The house was built with a concrete block basement wall foundation. The rim band, which sits on top of the foundation wall, holds the floor joists in place. Often we find, even in newer homes, there was never any insulation at all installed along the rim band. Because the rim band sits above ground level, it is exposed directly to the harsh temperatures of the outside air at any given time. These structures also tend to be leaky and are one of the main sources where cold outside air intrudes through the foundation. The result can be a cold basement and cold floors and walls along the perimeter of the house.

 

Though there were many additional things that could have been done to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of this home, insulating and air-sealing the rim band was one of the most effective things to stop energy from leaking in and out of the basement. Lawson Home Services performed both the air sealing and the insulation in one step, applying closed-cell expandable spray foam to the rim band.

Rotting Wood Becomes Problematic for Dover, DE Homeowners

A healthy crawl space leads to a happy owner.  When Dover homeowners Albert and Vee N. discovered a musty smell throughout their home, they decided it was time for a professional evaluation.  The couple immediately went online to search for contractors in the surrounding area, and they came across DES Delmarva.  Impressed with their credentials they decided to call them to come out.

The following week, the couple was met by waterproofing specialist Raymond Bremmerman at their Dover, DE home.  Raymond immediately surveyed the crawl space and what he found was massive amounts of moisture.  This moisture not only creates a musty smell, but over time it rots the wood supporting the home leading to massive structural problems.  Although the couple thought all was lost, Raymond reassured them that he had an ideal solution.  Raymond suggested the installation of CleanSpace Light Crawl Space Vapor Barrier.  This barrier is designed to be installed along the crawl space floor creating a moisture proof separation between the ground and the crawl space.  In conjunction with this, Raymond recommended a condensation pump, the SaniDry CX combo.  The SaniDry CX is a dehumidification system used to eliminate moisture and its aftermath such as the musty smell.  With the products and process proposed, Albert and Vee decided that this would be the best course of action and decided to go along with the installation process.

Production Team One was called in to complete the installation process and after a quick two day installation, the crawl space was better than ever and ready for action.  Thanks to the professionals at DES Delmarva, no crawl space is too damaged to fix.

CleanSpace Encapsulation Matting Cleans Up Dover, DE Crawl Space

During one summer, Dover, DE homeowners James and Frances H. found a musty smell circulating throughout their home.  After numerous home remedies, the couple was unable to find a permanent solution and knew they needed professional assistance.  After going through a number of mold remediation specialists, the couple came across Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva who they contacted to come for an estimate.

 

That same week, the couple was met by mold remediation specialist Michael Alicknavitch of Delmarva.  Michael immediately noticed a musty scent throughout the couple’s home, and asked to see the crawl space.  Michael quickly evaluated the crawl space and saw that it indeed had mold growth and moisture issues.  Once Michael explained the status of the crawl space to the couple, he began to explain possible remediation products.  In order to rid the space of moisture trouble, the root of all its problems, Michael recommended the CleanSpace drainage matting and encapsulation system.  This combination of products will drain any current water in the crawl space and prevent future moisture from penetrating.  To eliminate the musty smell, Michael recommended the installation of a SaniDry CX dehumidification system.  The SaniDry CX is designed specifically for crawl spaces.  With a coverage area of 2200 square feet, a removal rate of 109 pints of moisture a day, and the ability to operate at temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the SaniDry CX is an ideal solution for any problematic crawl space.  Michael also recommended a few other processes to complete the crawl space.

 

With the recommended products agreed upon, Michael called in Delmarva’s Production Team One to complete the installation and remediation process. With the products installed and working efficiently, the couple no longer has to worry about a lingering musty smell haunting their home.  The couple can now have friends and family over without being self conscious of the smell, all thanks to the professionals at Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva.

Delmarva Protects Dover, DE Home From High Electric Bills

Dover, DE homeowner Amanda F. decided that she wanted to install new windows in her home. Along with that she discovered that she was having problems with her HVAC system and one of her bedrooms was cold in the winter and hot in the summer.  Wanting answers, she began asking around her friends and family if they knew any contractors.  Amanda was soon referred to Delmarva by a neighbor who highly recommended them, so she contacted them that same day.

 

Shortly after contacting them Amanda was met by HVAC specialist Michael Brittingham of Delmarva to analyze her home and come up with a solution.  After examining the bedroom, Michael immediately felt there was a lack of insulation in that room which led to its dramatic temperature range.  Luckily for Amanda, Michael knew exactly how to change that.  In order to insulate the bedroom to its maximum potential, Michael recommended the installation of insulation in the attic of the bedroom and in the floor of the bedroom.  Along with this, Michael recommended air sealing the garage and the floors between levels, among other encapsulation and insulation steps.  

 

With the insulation process agreed upon, Michael called in Delmarva’s Production Team One to complete the installation process.  After the completion of the insulation upgrades, Amanda’s bedroom is now acceptably insulated and will no longer be a burden on her heating bills anymore!

Home Insulation Increases Comfort and Decreases Utility Bills

Amanda F. contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva because she was interested in window replacement and possibly gable vents in the attic.  She also described issues with her HVAC system and a bedroom that was uncomfortably cold in the winter and hot in the summer.  Luckily, a neighbor referred Amanda to the right place!

Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva’s energy expert, Michael Brittingham, inspected her home and determined that performing air sealing adding insulation to the whole house would have the most beneficial effects to overall comfort and interior temperature throughout the year. 

 Amanda no longer has to worry about rooms that are too cold in the winter or hot in the summer.  She can also take comfort in knowing that her utility bills will slowly decrease because the HVAC system will not have to work as hard to keep the house comfortable.  All in all, adding home insulation was the best choice for this individual problem, but may be the solution for your home too!

Attic Insulation and Air Sealing Saves Energy

The Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva representatives certainly made an impression on William V. at the Dover Mall Craft Show.  After attending, William contacted Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva and Michael Tucker went out to determine what kind of energy changes would be best for his home. 

After the assessment it was clear to Michael that attic air sealing & insulation, garage air sealing & insulation, and a SmartKneewall Conversion System would be the best investments to make.  Adding insulation to your attic or garage is virtually worthless without air sealing first.  Sealing air leaks closes off your home’s exterior envelope and keeps your conditioned air in and the unwanted, unconditioned air out. 

Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva has the training and skills to access any place in your home to add more home insulation- even your hard to reach attic knee wall.  William V. can now enjoy a more comfortable and energy efficient home after these beneficial investments.
