An open dirt crawl space left unencapsulated can leave the foundation of the home open to moisture damage. Homes are supported with wooden beams, and leaving these supports exposed to a harsh environment with high humidity, they will weaken over time. Furthermore, an unsealed crawlspace can become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and allergens, ruining the health and air quality of the home. Using the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, a thick, moisture-resistant barrier, this crawl space has been transformed into a clean, dry, moisture-controlled space.
