Dirt, vented crawl spaces are a source of so many problems, industry experts call them a "housing epidemic" ... Watch Video
Crawl space encapsulation, or sealing, is the treatment that building scientists recommend to turn a damp, dirty, moldy crawl space into a clean, dry space where mold can’t grow
Basement Systems has pioneered the field of crawl space encapsulation. Our professionals install specialized crawl space repair products to transform any “problem” crawl space into a clean, dry foundation that’s an asset rather than a liability.
Just because your home was built with a dirt crawl space does not make it any less of a hazard to the entire structure. Whether or not you see signs of groundwater leakage, earth water vapor will still evaporate and move up into the home, causing rotting floor joists, mold growth, health issues, and more.
How do the crawl space experts at Basement Systems, Inc. fix this issue? Simple, we isolate the crawl space from the rest of the home with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, which stops water intrusion, prevents moisture seepage, air seals, and more. As an added benefit, the CleanSpace® vapor barrier also transforms your nasty, wet crawl space into a clean and secure storage space!
Many homeowners think that just because their home was built with a dirt crawl space that it will not negatively impact the rest of the structure. The crawl space experts at Basement Systems, Inc. know differently – this is because water vapor will eventually evaporate into the home and cause rotting floor joists, mold growth, structural damage, and more.
In this crawl space, not only is it being impacted by nasty dirt and debris but also hanging, degraded insulation. By adding the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, we can isolate the crawl space from the rest of the home while also protecting it from water leaks, moisture seepage, unsafe contaminants, and more. As an added benefit, the vapor barrier also seals the below-grade space, transforming it into a clean and secure storage space!
This nasty dirt crawl space was filled with debris, pooling water, and a damaged, inefficient liner. Installing a barrier between the dirt crawl space and the home can prevent groundwater leaks, water seepage, moisture, mold growth, and other damage. However, if it is an ineffective barrier, it will under-perform and your problems will persist.
By adding our CleanSpace® vapor barrier, the waterproofing specialists at Basement Systems, Inc. were able to transform this nasty, damp crawl space into a clean storage area, protecting it against moisture seepage, water infiltration, air leaks, and more.
Combined with our SilverGlo® foam board crawl space insulation, we further boosted home health, energy-efficiency, and value!
A nasty, wet crawl space can cause major concerns for the rest of the structure. As water vapor evaporates into the home, this can cause mold growth, pooling water, structural damage, and more.
Luckily the experts with Basement Systems, Inc. have an efficient solution with the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, which has been proven to protect against water seepage, air leaks, water intrusion, and more. By sealing off a dirt crawl space from the rest of the home, we can better protect the entire structure while also creating a clean and secure storage area!
By adding crawl space insulation, we can further protect home health, energy-efficiency, and value. We start by insulating and air sealing rim joists, as the perimeter zone can be a major source of air infiltration and heat loss. Then we add SilverGlo® foam board wall insulation, which resists water absorption, mold growth, and water infiltration!
This crawl space in East Haven, Connecticut was wet and had issues with flooding. The old sump pump wasn't working to keep water out of the crawl space.
To fix the drainage problems in the crawl space, Connecticut Basement Systems installed a complete crawl space drainage system, including a TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard drainage system, TrenchDrain, and drainage matting. They also added the CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry dehumidifier.
The result is a dry crawl space that the homeowners could use to safely store extra belongings.

Do any of the following apply to your home or crawl space? If yes, you should consider having your crawl space evaluated by a professional.
Crawl space with open vents and a dirt floor
Vented, dirt-floored crawl spaces are still permitted by building codes in many areas, despite the moisture and mold problems they cause.
Allergy and asthma symptoms
Airborne mold spores and dust mites from damp crawl space and basement areas are among the most common indoor air pollutants and allergens.
Fiberglass insulation in the crawl space
Fiberglass insulation is the WRONG material to use when insulating a crawl space. It absorbs moisture, loses R-value, attracts mold, promotes wood rot, and falls out of place.
