Foundation Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace Incapsulation
Dirt crawlspaces can be highways for moisture and mold to enter a home where they can cause damage and reduce the home's energy efficiency.
That's why Woods Basement Systems recommends incapsulating crawlspaces with CleanSpace™. CleanSpace™ is a waterproof liner similar to a pool liner that is used to block moisture and water vapor from entering the crawlspace. CleanSpace™ is also mold-resistant and tear-proof, so it can block out mold and pests that would otherwise enter the crawlspace.
To totally protect the area, CleanSpace™ is installed across the floor and up the walls. This will not only seal away the dirt floor, but also any leaks that come through the crawlspace walls.
Once the crawlspace is encapsulated and protected from moisture, the area can also be properly insulated - helping the home become more energy efficient. With CleanSpace™ homeowners won't need to worry about moisture damaging their homes and increasing their power bills anymore.
Encapsulated with CleanSpace
This crawlspace is totally encapsulated with CleanSpace™ vapor barrier. This rugged liner will protect the entire home from the harms of water vapor rising through the floor.
CleanSpace™ Encapsulation
With CleanSpace™ installed, the crawlspace looks good and will be protected from the harmful effects of moisture and mold.
Unprotected Walls
This crawlspace had a simple waterproofing layer on the floor. This layer is ineffective as it does not properly seal at the edges and it does not protect against water that leaks in through the walls.
Unencapsulated
This crawlspace is still at risk from the damaging effects of water vapor and mold growth.
