Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation in New York

Serving Poughkeepsie, Middletown, Newburgh, and Surrounding Areas

Wood, fiberglass resins, paper, cardboard, and other materials can easily grow mold and rot in a crawl space. This will make the floor above sag.

There are three things that typically destroy building materials (wood in particular): water, temperature, and ultraviolet radiation. Of these, water is by far the most important.

A dirt, vented, or unconditioned concrete crawl space under a home in New York is a very bad idea. The earth has very high humidity in the soil.

This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space from outside, where it is pulled upwards into the home environment.

Damp environments are unhealthy and destructive... a place where mold thrives and spreads by producing millions of airborne spores - a rare few of which are even toxic - and heating and cooling costs are higher, especially if you have a vented dirt crawl space.

Insects and critters of all kinds (including mice and termites) love damp environments and wet materials. Rot and decay occur in damp environments, causing structural damage.

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 sucks the moist air and everything in it up into the living areas of the home. 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 Crawl Space Encapsulation System - developed by Basement Systems, the world leader in dry basement and crawl space technology.

The Solution: The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System

Cleaning and sealing a crawl space is most times a one-day job and our liner comes with a 25-year warranty!

The CleanSpace crawlspace vapor barrier isolates a home from the earth, reducing the relative 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 crawl space liner is a heavy 20-mil-thick material, similar to a pool liner, although CleanSpace acts to keep out water and air.

It is manufactured in seven layers - a blend of high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and two layers of polyester-cord reinforcement.

The liner is blue on one side and white on the other, with the bright white side placed upward.

When installed, it really brightens a crawl space with the available lighting, allowing for easy inspection and reassurance that your crawl space is free of mold, insects, and dirt.

The CleanSpace liner is tough enough on which to crawl and store items on -- giving a home extra storage space. Service people can crawl on it without worry of putting holes or tears in the liner -- and they'll love you for it! The liner completely stops moisture penetration through it.
