Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Evansville, IN Crawl Space Protected with Moisture Barrier

This crawl space in Evansville, IN home, had no vapor barrier and issues of moisture in the basement. Exposed earth contributes to a lot of water vapor into the crawl space air. The earth is damp, and as that damp soil dries beneath the house (in this homeowner's case open basement), the water vapor moves upward. By installing a crawl space vapor barrier it's the perfect way to keep water and moisture from your crawl space. Healthy Spaces provided moisture protection by installing CleanSpace Drainage Matting under our CleanSpace Liner. The CleanSpace Drainage Matting has raised dimples that will channel flooding water underneath your crawl space liner, directing it to either the perimeter crawl space drain system or the sump pump. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is a durable, bright white crawl space liner that installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. This Evansville, IN homeowner is happy to have a clean and dry environment in their crawl space thanks to Healthy Spaces!

No Vapor Barrier

Here you can see that the crawl space opens into the basement. So whatever is happening in your crawl space, is happening in your basement up into your living space.

Dirt Crawl Space

As you can see here, there is no vapor barrier that's protecting the home from the exposed, dirt crawl space.

Exposed Earth

Exposed earth adds a continuous stream of water vapor into your home.

Installing Drainage Matting in Crawl Space

Crawl space liners rest directly on the crawl space floor. If your crawl space is flooding, water can be trapped underneath, never making it to your perimeter drain.

Drainage Matting protects Crawl Space Floors

The raised dimples on the Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This directs the water flooding your crawl space to your perimeter crawl space drain or sump pump system.
