Our First Look Inside
Our Design Specialist took several photos of this space from different angles. This one really gives you perspective. We see there are many interlocking wires and piping passing through this area. Many are suspended in the air while others are flat against the dirt. The suspended wires are fine, but the ground items are not so lucky. They'll be fine the first few years, but after a while they'll begin to wear. That's one good reason to go ahead and get the space covered.
Common is Not Always Good
Crawlspaces with dirt floors are common, but just because they're common that doesn't mean its always a good idea. Dirt floors often invite water vapor into the crawlspace which, in turn, increases the amount of moisture within a given space. Dirt is easy, but it is not all that practical without a water barrier to cover it.
The New Look
CleanSpace can go over almost any surface, including rocky clay. The CleanSpace is not in danger of ripping because the material is 20 mils thick, reinforced with polyester cords for added durability. It's the perfect solution for most crawlspaces. Plus, it makes it that much easier for homeowners to go down and give it a quick look. Having loose, hard rocks over a floor can make it difficult to both crawl and walk. However, with CleanSpace, that problem is almost entirely eliminated.
Crawlspace Covered
This is a photo of the space with the items in view. Anything in this crawlspace has become that much more accessible due to the CleanSpace installation. Crawling around a crawlspace has never been more easy.
When it's Done, It's Done
When installing the CleanSpace, we like to cover a few inches of posts already in the crawlspace. It doesn't matter if it's wood or concrete, we cover a few inches of the supports so that the barrier is completed. Sometimes, we'll even take it up a little further. It all depends on what's there.
