No Vapor Barrier
Previously, this crawl space didn't contain a vapor barrier to protect it from the outer elements like rain, dirt, and critters. The homeowner noticed that after heavy rains his crawl space would flood allowing all three of these exterior elements inside.
Fallen Insulation
Another issue was that the insulation was falling from the ceiling. When the crawl space is wet, the insulation absorbs the water through the humid air causing it to weight heavier and fall.
Mold Developed
The wet, muggy air also created mold on the wood on the ceiling of the crawl space. Mold in the crawl space can affect the air of the entire house, meaning that the homeowner could breathe in toxic, harmful air.
Solution? CleanSpace
The best solution to sealing out the outer elements that created harm in the crawl space is by installing CleanSpace. The CleanSpace encapsulation system is made out of inorganic materials so that it will not develop mold. This system is installed on the floors and walls blocking out water leaks, dirt, and unwanted critters.
