Damp and Dark Crawl Space
This crawl space was initially damp and dark and had previously been home to some unwanted house guests. Without any form of barrier, it was exposed to the earth below.
CleanSpace Drainage Matting System
One of the first steps in this crawl space encapsulation was installing a CleanSpace drainage mat. This dimple mat will collect water from the crawl space floor and direct it to either the sump pump or the perimeter drainage system. The mat will help prevent buildup underneath the CleanSpace liner, which will be installed next.
CleanSpace Liner Installation
One of the key parts of the whole CleanSpace system is the liner. Many describe the CleanSpace vapor barrier as being almost like a thick pool liner. It is a super durable plastic sheet that was designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from making a crawl space a new home.
Crawl Space Encapsulation System
After the clean space is fully installed, you can see a complete transformation of this crawl space. What was once a dark and damp space is now a clean and dry space that this homeowner no longer has to worry about what could be lurking below, trying to make their way into her home!
