Damp Crawlspace in Belton, SC Gets CleanSpace Encapsulation

This homeowner called All-Dry of the Carolinas because they were getting a strange odor throughout their home, which they believed was caused by something in their crawlspace. This is something that we see quite often. When crawlspaces (and basements) have water intrusion, and stagnant water in them, a musty smell usually tags along with it. Since the air in a home cycles from the bottom-up, this smell can make its way throughout a home.

Fortunately, this issue is pretty easily solved with a full encapsulation system. The dampness and water in crawlspaces usually come from the ground, so when getting CleanSpace installed, it essentially seals off the crawlspace from the outside world. We have had several homeowners say that even within a week or two after our system was installed that the smell had completely tapered off. 

CleanSpace works so well because it is very different than a "traditional" crawlspace liner (like the black one in the before picture). CleanSpace is a 20 mil-thick liner, similar to a pool liner that doesn't allow water or water vapor to get through. Not only does the liner itself prevent anything from getting through, but the crew completely seals the liner to the walls with tape and caulk, to make sure no water vapor gets around the sides.
