Soil has a naturally high humidity. This moisture spreads from your crawl space and up into the rest of your house. When your crawl space is damp, mold multiplies rapidly and releases millions of spores into the air, heating and air conditioning costs are higher (especially if it is a vented crawlspace), and rot and decay can cause structural damage.

Prevent Mold and Musty OdorHouses have a natural, bottom-to-top airflow. As air rises within the home it sucks in new air from the crawl space or basement and pushes exhaust air out of the upper levels. This means that mold spores and odors are pulled from your crawl space and into the rest of your house. There are a large number of people who have suffered from allergies for years not knowing that their crawl space is to blame.

If you have ground water in your crawl space, we can install one of our patented sump pump systems.

In the summer, warm humid air enters your crawl space and dumps its excess humidity in the form of condensation on your air conditioning conduits, water tank and anything else cool. Not only does this add to the moisture problem, but the outside air also warms those ducts and forces your air conditioner to work harder to cool your home. The opposite is true in the winter, with cold air making your heater warm the ducts before the hot air gets to your living spaces.  Excessive energy loss is common. With a properly encapsulated system installed your crawl space not only looks better but pays for it self with energy savings.

Real Time Situations

It was immediately apparent to us upon entering the crawl space of our prospective client's home that they had a big problem. It hadn't occurred to them that an underground spring bubbling up under their foundation, producing standing water, was a bad thing. In fact the whole reason the home owners called us out to the house was to redirect the water to a more aesthetic stream location in their front yard.

Neither of the home owners knew the negative effects of standing water in their basement. They didn't understand that water vapor could rot floor joists and mold that was growing on the crawl space wall was being breathed in regularly upstairs. After we explained these risks and showed them what our product was capable of, they were quick to encapsulate the entire space and anxious for their cost savings on future heating and cooling bills.

There is, however, a solution to all these problems. Basement Systems, the world leader in dry basement and crawl space technology, developed the CleanSpace System to address all these issues.  With a properly installed CleanSpace system installed your crawl space not only looks better but pays for it self with energy savings.


The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System
Instead of trying to bring in outside air to "fix" the humidity problem, the CleanSpace system completely isolates your home from the ground. This causes humidity in your crawl space to drop dramatically. By lowering the moisture in the air, mold growth can be reduced or even eliminated, and rot can be avoided.

CleanSpace vapor barrier can be installed by Utah Basement Systems in Salt Lake, Provo, Logan, Orem and surrounding areas in Utah. We also service communities in south east Idaho and south west Wyoming.

Designed by Basement Systems, the CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier is a heavy, 20-mil-thick material, like a pool liner but to keep water out. There are seven layers combining a high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and two layers of polyester-cord reinforcement. Because the finished side is white, CleanSpace brightens your crawl space and lets you quickly see that it is free of mold, insects and dirt. CleanSpace installed in a crawl space with sump pumpAnother advantage to the quality of the liner is the toughness - it is easily strong enough to crawl on and store things in your crawl space. Along the same lines, workmen can crawl on it without you being worried they will poke holes or tear the material. After installation, CleanSpace completely stops moisture penetration.  However, we also recommend a crawl space dehumidifier to dry out the space from already-present moisture.
