Introduction

Zavza Seal LLC is proud to showcase our recent project in Shoreham, NY, where we addressed multiple areas requiring advanced sealing and waterproofing solutions. The project involved meticulous repair and insulation of a crawl space concrete ceiling, sealing soffit vent gaps, and injecting sealant into critical floor/wall joints. By employing our expertise and innovative techniques, we ensured long-lasting protection and energy efficiency for our client. This case study provides a detailed overview of the work performed, emphasizing our dedication to quality and precision.

Project Scope

Client Location: Shoreham, NY
Project Areas:

• Crawl Space Concrete Ceiling (Approx. 180 sq. ft.)
• Spaces Between Soffit Vents and Brick Facade
• Dining Room and Bedroom Floor/Wall Joints (14 ft, 16 ft, and 18 ft)

Challenges and Objectives

The client’s property presented the following challenges:

1. Crawl Space Ceiling: Significant wear and tear with loose materials and visible cracks required structural repair and waterproofing.
2. Soffit Vents: Gaps between the soffit vents and the brick facade allowed air and moisture infiltration, compromising the home’s insulation.
3. Floor/Wall Joints: Drafts from unsealed floor/wall joints in the dining room and bedroom contributed to energy inefficiency and discomfort.

Our objective was to restore structural integrity, enhance insulation, and prevent air drafts by using advanced materials and techniques.

Solutions Implemented

Crawl Space Concrete Ceiling

1. Surface Preparation:
   • Used steel brushes to remove all loose and damaged materials from the ceiling surface.
2. Crack Repair:
   • Applied 7,000 PSI Basecrete Waterproofing Cement to repair all cracks and damaged areas, ensuring structural reinforcement and waterproofing.
3. Foam Insulation Installation:
   • Installed R-15 closed-cell polyethylene foam with reflective reinforced foil across the 180 sq. ft. ceiling area.
   • Used foam adhesives for initial placement and mechanically secured the foil for durability and optimal performance.

Soffit Vent and Brick Facade Gaps

1. Sealing:
   • Applied an exterior non-sag sealant to seal gaps between the soffit vents and the brick facade.
   • This measure effectively prevented moisture infiltration and enhanced the thermal envelope of the property.

Dining Room and Bedroom Floor/Wall Joints

1. Sealant Injection:
   • Used a high-performance sealant injection method to fill joints measuring 14 ft and 16 ft in the dining room and 18 ft in the bedroom.
   • This solution eliminated drafts and improved the overall energy efficiency of the home.

The damage in the ceiling of the crawl space

The exterior wall of the property requires a sealant to stop water penetration issues.

Results

• Enhanced Insulation: The crawl space ceiling insulation in Shoreham, NY significantly improved the thermal barrier, reducing heat loss and preventing moisture buildup.
• Improved Energy Efficiency: The sealed soffit vent gaps and injected floor/wall joints eliminated air drafts, leading to better indoor comfort and lower energy bills.
