The cold floors and high heating costs combined with a draft and a musty and damp odor throughout the house was making the home a bit uncomfortable to live in. The homeowners didn't know what they could do to make their home healthier and more comfortable.
Solution
This home, like most homes, had a dirt crawl space. Having a dirt crawl space can cause a few negative effects such as high humidity and condensation, mold and wood rot, problems with insects and other pests, cold floors and higher heating costs, odors and drafts upstairs and overall unhealthy and uncomfortable living spaces. The best solution to all of this is CleanSpace encapsulation system. CleanSpace is a thick, heavy-duty liner that is installed on the walls and floor of the crawl space. It isolates the house from the ground. It blocks out any moisture or water vapor from coming into the crawl space. This means no new mold growth or musty odors. CleanSpace also keeps the floors of the home warmer by separating the dirt floor of the crawl space and the house. That help to lower heating costs. And with the attractive, bright and tough crawl space liner, it's easy to see that the crawl space is free of mold, insects, and dirt. After getting CleanSpace encapsulation system this family is able to enjoy their healthier home that is less expensive to own.
