This crawl space in Lancaster was suffering from many outside moisture issues. One of these issues was that the old liner covering the dirt floor was torn in many places, allowing the earth's moisture to rise and affect the relative humidity of the crawl space. An excessive moisture content can lead to condensation, material damage, and even mold or mildew growth. Our installers removed the existing vapor barrier and any debris from the crawl space, then placed a 20-mil vapor barrier, called CleanSpace, over the dirt floor of the crawl space. This heavy-duty liner covers the entire crawl space floor, gets wrapped around all piers, and mechanically fastened to the foundation wall, six to eight inches above outside grade. The CleanSpace will help protect the crawl space from any moisture rising from the earth, and it allows service personnel to maneuver freely throughout the crawl space. This solution is one of many to help encapsulate and seal off any outside influence. If you are interested in our vapor barrier, then please give us a call today to schedule your free estimate.
