Crawl Space Moisture Barrier
A primary function of a moisture barrier is to control moisture levels in the crawl space. This one was very old and falling apart, rendering it far less useful.
What Does a Vapor Barrier Do?
By blocking moisture intrusion, a vapor barrier helps prevent mold and mildew growth.
Wet Crawl Space Problems
A wet crawl space with rodents can attract other pests such as insects and other rodents seeking shelter and food sources. This can compound the problem and make it more challenging to control.
Vented Crawl Spaces, Moisture, and Rodents
The combination of a vented crawl space with moisture and rodent activity can result in musty odors that permeate the home, making it less comfortable to live in and potentially affecting indoor air quality.
What's Wrong with Standing Water in Your Crawl Space?
Standing water can erode the soil supporting your foundation. This weakens the soil's ability to bear the weight of your home, potentially leading to uneven floors, foundation settlement, and structural problems.
Crawl Space Transformed: After Encapsulating and Waterproofing
This crawl space was cleaned, waterproofed, and encapsulated with CleanSpace.
What is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System is a sealed vapor barrier that creates a healthy environment to minimizes moisture infiltration from the ground. This helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which can thrive in damp crawl spaces and contribute to respiratory problems and allergies.
Humidity Control
A dehumidifier like this SaniDry Sedona will help maintain consistent humidity levels regardless of the season, offering an extra layer of protection against mold growth and moisture-related problems.
Best Quality Sump Pump
We installed our SuperSump to help pump the water out and away from the home. Now the home is clean and will stay dry all the time!
