Crawl Space Vapor Barrier in Minnesota & Northern Iowa

We repair damp, wet crawl spaces in Minnesota and Northern Iowa with the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system.

Three things can destroy organic material and wood in particular (the material from which a house is built); water, heat, and ultra-violet radiation. Of these three, water is the most important, as it is the only one we can control to prevent rot and mold in the home.

Wet or even damp environments become unhealthy and destructive to a home and its occupants. Mold thrives and spreads in damp environments (such as a crawlspace ) by producing millions of airborne spores that drift upward as the air rises in a house. Cooling and heating costs are higher, especially if you have a vented dirt crawl space, as damp air is more difficult to heat or cool. Also rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage.

A dirt, vented or even concrete crawlspace under a home allows water vapor in the earth to move upwards into the home environment. Mice, snakes, insects and critters of all varieties thrive in damp environments and wet materials.

Crawl spaces do not have to be wet or flooded to be extremely unhealthy.
The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to top. This means the moist air and everything in the crawl space is sucked up into the living areas of the home. The presence of mold spores, odors, humidity and critters 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 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.

The liner 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 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.
