Crawl Space Encapsulation in Virginia
with CleanSpace System

It was once thought that adding vents to a crawl space was beneficial - that vents would allow moisture to pass in and out and eventually dissipate. The vents actually promote moisture because of a few different reasons: The stack effect, a house's natural tendency to draw air in from the crawl space and lower levels upward into living spaces, sucks moist air in rather than let moist air out! Venting a crawl space also allows bugs and critters into the space.

Even if a crawl space is not flooded or visibly wet, the high relative humidity can spell trouble for your home and your health. The fungus responsible for rot and mold not only eats away at the structure of a home, but spreads by producing millions of airborne spores. These spores are the cause of many allergies and many people are unaware that their crawl space is a contributor to their illness.

Basement Systems developed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System, which seals a crawl space off from moisture coming up from the dirt and also from the damp air outside and creates healthy home environments and increased storage space.

CleanSpace isolates a home from the earth entirely so the humidity never enters to begin with. This strategy also stops bugs and other critters from getting into a crawl space while reducing, or sometimes even eliminating mold growth and rot.

The key to the CleanSpace system is the patented, 20-mil thick liner material. It is a tough blend of seven polyethylene and polyester cord reinforcement layers, designed specially for crawl spaces. Since the side you see after installation is bright white, it really brightens a crawl space and lets you know that it is free of mold, insects and dirt. With a material so durable, you can crawl around without worries of rips and store your belongings without the threat of mold and bugs invading. Besides halting moisture damage, the CleanSpace material saves you money on energy bills!
