Project Location: Darling Avenue, Amityville, NY
Service Area: Crawlspace (Approx. 63 Linear Feet)
Problem
A homeowner on Darling Avenue in Amityville, NY, reached out to Zavza Seal LLC due to persistent issues with cold drafts, moisture buildup, and signs of vermin entering through the crawl space. The crawl space had visible gaps at the rim joists and around wall penetrations, which served as entry points for insects and rodents. Additionally, the unsealed concrete floor contributed to excess humidity and potential mold risks. The client needed a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation and insulation solution to protect their home, improve energy efficiency, and ensure a healthier living environment.
Solution
Our team at Zavza Seal LLC conducted a thorough inspection and designed a multi-step remediation and sealing process. The scope of work included:
1. Rim Joist Sealing and Vermin Proofing
We sealed the entire perimeter of the crawl space, focusing on rim joists and all visible openings. Using expanding spray foam insulation, we ensured there were no remaining gaps for rodents or insects to enter from the outside.
2. Floor Cleaning and Masonry Sealing
After sealing the perimeter, our team performed a detailed vacuuming and wet cleaning of the concrete floor. We then applied a clear masonry sealer to reduce moisture absorption and create a clean, finished surface.
3. Crawl Space Encapsulation with Foam Board Insulation
For long-term insulation and energy efficiency, we encapsulated the crawl space walls with 2-inch foam board insulation. Every panel was carefully installed and sealed to achieve 100% rim joist coverage, providing a tight thermal and moisture barrier.
4. Dehumidifier Installation
To maintain humidity levels within a safe and healthy range, we installed a high-efficiency crawl space dehumidifier. The condensate line was routed directly to the crawl space waste line to allow for continuous drainage. The unit was powered through the existing electrical outlet, minimizing disruption and ensuring efficient operation.

This crawl space encapsulation project in Amityville, NY, resulted in the following benefits:
- A fully sealed crawl space with zero vermin access
