Crawl Space Repair in Greater Colorado Springs - CO

Before


After

Crawl space moisture is a problem in many Colorado homes. Water underneath your house - in the form of condensation, water vapor, or liquid - is a recipe for rot as well as unhealthy mold that gets sucked up into your home.

Peak Basement Systems can help with your crawl space ventilation, waterproofing, and mold, with the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. The CleanSpace system completely isolates your home from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level in the air. Lower humidity levels reduce or, in some cases, eliminate mold growth, rot, and critters from your crawl space, making the entire house healthier.

Crawl Space Encapsulation for Mold & Musty Odors

A dirt, vented, or unconditioned crawl space under a home deals with high humidity problems as the earth contains high levels of moisture. This moisture or water vapor moves up into the crawl space. Moisture and organic material are the right combination for mold and mildew, the cause of musty smells and odors in the crawl space.

Damp environments are unhealthy and destructive - places where mold thrives and spreads by producing millions of airborne spores - and heating and cooling costs are higher, especially if you have a vented dirt crawl space. Insects and critters of all kinds love damp environments and wet materials. Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage. 

Crawl spaces do not have to be wet or flooded to be extremely unhealthy. A brand-new home in Southeastern Colorado with dirt crawl spaces is just as much at risk as a older home elsewhere.

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 in craw space 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 System - developed by Basement Systems, the world leader in dry basement and crawl space technology.

The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System

The CleanSpace vapor barrier is a heavy 20-mil-thick material, similar to a pool liner. It is manufactured in seven layers - a blend of high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and two layers of polyester-cord reinforcement. It is blue on one side and white on the other. The bright white finished side really brightens a crawl space with the available lighting and allows you to easily see that your crawl space is free of mold, insects, and dirt. The CleanSpace liner is tough enough for you to crawl on it and use your crawl space for storage. Service people can crawl on it without worry of putting holes or tears in the liner. The liner completely stops moisture penetration.
