With having a dirt crawl space beneath your home can have negative effects. The potential is high for humidity and condensation which can cause mold and wood rot. Insects and critters are often found lurking. Dirt crawl spaces are the main reason many homeowners notice cold floors above their crawl space, which results in higher heating costs. Odors and drafts upstairs can all lead to unhealthy and uncomfortable living space for homeowners with crawl spaces.
Solution
After a free, no obligation estimate, we were ready to transform this drafty crawl space into a healthier livable space for our customer to enjoy for years to come. This involved installing our industry leading crawl space products.
First, we must remove any debris in the crawl space for an clean proper crawl space installation. Next, drainage matting is placed on the dirt floor of the crawl space. The benefits of this product installed first will give the CleanSpace vapor barrier installed later more protection and comfort for crawling around in the crawl space that eventually homeowners can use for storage.
The crawl space is now ready for installing the CleanSpace Liner along the floor and walls of the crawl space. This will permanently seal out the vapor coming from the dirt floor. The CleanSpace Liner is a 20 mil thick barrier that is blue on one side and white on the other side. The liner has a built in antimicrobial backing that will prevent mold growth.
