Unecapsulated Crawlspace
Here is the unencapsulated crawlspace, with only the old liner covering the crawlspace. This liner helps out a little bit, but because it is not sealed, it doesn't do a whole lot of good. It is mainly not sealed around the support columns, as seen in this picture.
Unencapsulated Crawlspace with Old Liner
Here is another view of the crawlspace before the CleanSpace Liner was installed. This view is a little wider than the last photo, and gives a good estimate of the condition of the crawlspace; not the worst, but could definitely use some improvement.
Another Photo of Basement Before Installation
One last view of the unecapsulated crawlspace. This crawlspace was in much better shape than most crawlspaces we inspect. This crawlspace does not have any insulation (a great place for mold to grow), and has no visible mold, mildew, or moisture on the floor joists.
Installed CleanSpace Liner
Here is the installed CleanSpace Liner, or the process of the liner being installed! The liner has already been laid out throughout the entire crawlspace. This homeowner chose not to have the CleanSpace Wall installed, which was more than reasonable considering this was more of a preventative project, than a damage control/correction job.
Sealed CleanSpace Liner
This is where the CleanSpace Liner has already been sealed to the crawlspace wall. This prevents moisture from the ground to evaporate into the crawlspace and allowing mold to grow. Sealing up the CleanSpace is one of the most important parts of the job because without the proper seal, the liner won't be nearly as effective.
Installed Dehumidifier
This is the dehumidifier that was installed in this crawlspace. This is a SaniDry dehumidifier which keeps the humidity from getting too high in a crawlspace. While the CleanSpace does a great job of keeping moisture out, it isn't 100% effective, so the dehumidifier picks up the slack by collecting the excess moisture in the air.
