This crawl space in Lewes had a lot of open and empty pits where the ground was uneven. The homeowner was pleased to learn that the ground could be leveled with gravel before the CleanSpace system was installed. If the ground wasn't leveled there would always be a danger of falling into a hole while crawling around under the house.
Open and exposed dirt in a crawl space is never good for the house. Even if your crawl space appears to be dry, there will always be water in the earth that seeps up and evaporates into the air. When the humidity gets too high it helps mold grow. No one wants to see mold in their crawl space. The CleanSpace system with its thick vapor barrier and sealed seams eliminates the majority of this moisture. What you are left with is a clean, dry, and healthy environment.
This home in Lewes, Delaware only had a partial liner that was covering the crawlspace dirt. Exposed dirt can add a continuous stream of water vapor into a home. This home now has a full encapsulated crawlspace which creates a barrier between the ground and the floor joists.
This homeowner's crawl space is typical of many homes, concrete block walls and a dirt foundation. A CleanSpace Encapsulation System forms a barrier so that the house is isolated from the earth creating a dry, clean and energy efficient crawl space.
This is a great example of beautiful work done in a crawl space in Lewes!
