Vapor Barrier Needed and Well Deserved in Piedmont, SC Crawlspace

All crawlspaces have their quirks. This Piedmont, South Carolina crawlspace is our prime example. What we have here is a space that has a very high moisture content. Looking closely at the “before” photo, we notice that the dirt floor does have a liner. That’s a well and good. However, the crawlspace still has a terrible moisture problem. Why is that? Well, consider this. There may be a liner and said liner may be steadfastly holding back water vapor, but the walls are not protected. The cement block walls allow in just as much water, and the amount to this water varies depending on the force of the rain outside. Even with the added thin barrier of protection, the crawlspace is exposed and vulnerable.

Flash forward to the present. Flash forward to the crawlspace renewed. Take a look at the “after” photo. Isn’t it pretty?

There are very few products on the market today like CleanSpace. CleanSpace was designed specifically for the moisture-ridden crawlspace. It was designed to be a barrier. Lucky for us, it does the job without even trying. Pull up the wall, it provides protection from the outside moisture. Any water that slips through the blocks is met with immediate resistance. The CleanSpace says ‘no.’ It is not allowed to come into this safe space created here. Even the piers are subject to this method, they, too, are wrapped and sealed. The outside stays outside and the inside is well protected. Water issues exist no more.
