Crawl Space Before Project Begins

The crawl space is muddy and the old vapor barrier is crumpled up in the corner. This is obviously not preventing moisture from entering the crawl space. A crawl space that doesn't have proper air flow will have problems with moisture, mold, and wood rot.

Moisture Levels

This device measures the humidity or moisture in the crawl space. At this level, it is a prime environment for mold growth and wood rot in the floor joists.

Wood Moisture Levels

Taking readings of the level of moisture in the wooden floor joists. This will help us determine how much moisture has been absorbed into the wood.

Old Vapor Barrier

This old vapor barrier is ripped, muddy, and must be removed before the project starts.

Mold Growth

Mold is starting to grow on the wooden floor joists due to the moisture in the crawl space. Left untreated this problem will only get worse.

Drainage matting

This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor.

CleanSpace Liner

One of the key ingredients in our encapsulation system is the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting into your crawl space.

Sealing Air Vents

Sealing your crawl space vents stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.
