Crawl Space Vapor BarrierA dirt crawl space under your home can have its own unique problems. The earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house environment. This is true even if there is not standing water in the crawl area. A damp environment is very unhealthy and destructive. Molds thrive and reproduce, releasing airborne spores by the millions. Many types of mold can cause health problems and some can be toxic. Contact Nova Basement Systems for a free consultation on fixing your crawl space.

Radon Gas:  Radon Gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the ground in most areas of North America. The EPA has identified radon gas exposure with increased risk of lung cancer. Dirt crawl spaces allow radon gas to enter the home easily. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System is the ideal solution to reduce radon entry from a dirt crawl space. The System can be combined with a fan and exhaust pipe to actively draw radon laden air from beneath the CleanSpace Liner and exhaust it outdoors.

Crawl Space Solutions in

Destructive insects seek out and thrive in damp environments and target soft wood for shelter and food. Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage.
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. If you have allergies, this could be bad news for you.
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.
Dirt crawl spaces do not have to be wet or flooded to be extremely unhealthy. Also, heating and cooling costs are higher in a home with a vented dirt crawl space.
The solution to this problem is installing CleanSpace!
CleanSpace Encapsulation System
The CleanSpace Encapsulation System completely isolates your home from the earth. This dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air, which will reduce or in most cases eliminate mold growth, rot, and critters from your crawl space and make the whole house healthier.
The liner is 20mm thick material similar to a pool liner. It's also tough enough to crawl on and use for storage! The liner will completely stop your moisture problem and leave you worry free. This product is warranted for 25 years against wear and tear.
