Photo Album: Crawl Space Concerns in Evansville, IN
In Evansville, IN, a homeowner was interested in encapsulating his crawl space. Some of the wooden boards on the ceiling consisted of spiderwebs. Spiders love crawl spaces and since spiders eat other bugs, there are usually plenty of them in a damp dirt crawl. The crawl space needed to be encapsulated in order to prevent bugs from being able to live and thrive. One allergen for humans is dust mites. Dust mites are microscopic parasites that live off of skin flakes that you shed. Dust mite droppings are tiny and float in the air, where they can be breathed in and aggravate allergies and asthma.
To prevent bugs and other pests from being able to enter the space, CleanSpace is laid on the ground and sides of the crawl space. CleanSpace protects the environment from water vapor. The crawl space was humid, which is another characteristic of where bugs and other pests are able to thrive, so it needed a dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona is a dehumidifier that constantly creates a dry airflow throughout the space. The dehumidifier disposes of the water outside, making it easier for the homeowner. It pleased the homeowner that this crawl space would be protected against future pests that would otherwise bother his home or health.
