Protecting a Crawlspace in Sappington, MO.

Most people aren't likely to go into their crawlspace and are even less likely to think about it. But crawlspaces should be considered, after all they affect the health of your home. 

This dirt crawlspace in Sappington, MO. was allowing mold and dirt to accumulate on the floor joists above. Moisture - as well as insects and rodents - can rise from the dirt or through crawlspace vents and feed mold and damage the underside of the home. To stop this, the homeowners chose to have Woods Basement Systems incapsulate their crawlspace with CleanSpace™.

CleanSpace™ is a tear-proof liner like a pool liner. This liner, however, is specifically designed for dirt crawlspaces. The waterproof material will block out water vapor as well as any critters through the floor and can be mounted up the walls, blocking water leaks there too. It's anti-microbial surface will also repel mold, preventing new mold growth inside the incapsulated area. 

In this crawlspace, a SmartSump™ system is installed to pump out any water builiding up beneath the liner and a Sedona dehumidifier is installed to remove moisture and mold spores from the air. With CleanSpace™ working with the SmartSump™ and the Sedona, this crawlspace is protected from the damaging effects of water vapor and mold growth.
