After:
There are entire industries and businesses based on crawl space moisture in the Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. If you have a damp crawl space - whether it’s dirt or concrete - your crawl space’s future is filled with rotting beams and floor boards. Mold spores, dust mites, and odors will fill your crawl space and rise into your home, bringing allergens and unhealthy conditions into your living space. Insulation will likely become saturated with water, causing it to grow mold, sag, and fall on your crawl space floor. Floor boards and beams with rot and need to be replaced. And as your crawlspace and home become more humid, your entire house becomes more difficult to heat or cool!
Allowing a dirt, vented, or concrete crawl space to remain under your home is a very bad idea - where valuable property can be greatly damaged by this situation. These areas, and all over the Maryland, Washington DC, Northern Virginia region, have very high relative humidity in the soil. As this water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house environment, it creates an environment where rot, mold, and dust mites can grow. Additionally, as wood gathers moisture, it can become a habitat for termites, carpenter ants, and other damaging pests.
Crawl spaces do not have to be wet or flooded to be extremely unhealthy.
The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to top. This sucks the moist air and everything in it up into the living areas of the home. Mold spores, odors, humidity and critters create a very unhealthy environment for people. Many people are allergic to these things, and experience a host of symptoms and don't realize that their dirt crawl space is affecting their health.
Now there is a solution to dirt crawl spaces - The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System - developed by Basement Systems, the world leader in dry basement and crawl space technology.
Air naturally flows through the house from bottom to the top. As air leaves through the upper levels, damp, moldy, smelly air from the crawlspace and lower levels is pulled up into the living areas of the home. If you have dust mite feces, mold spores, humidity, or other things in the air, this will come up as well. Fortunately, we now have a solution for crawl spaces!
The CleanSpace System - developed by Basement Systems, the world leader in dry basement and crawl space technology – is an easy, healthy way to turn your damp, moldy crawl space into clean, usable space for your home.
CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System
The CleanSpace system completely isolates your home from the earth and dramatically reduces the humidity level in the crawl space. As humidity levels lower, mold growth, rot, and dust mites can be reduced, or in some cases, almost completely eliminated! Animals will have a difficult time working their way through the thick, heavy-duty barrier and will be discouraged from entering your home.
