Crawl Space Solution: Crawl Space Liner in California
The CleanSpace Liner
The CleanSpace liner is used to isolate the home from the earth completely and permanently. The liner is heavy 20 mil thick material similar to a pool liner. It is manufactured in 7 layers -a blend of high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, and two layers of polyester cord reinforcement. It is blue on one side and white on the other. The bright white finish side really brightens a crawl space with the available lightning and allows you to easily see that your crawl space is free of mold, insect and dirt. The CleanSpace liner is manufactured with antimicrobial protection called UltraFresh, so no mold or mildew can grow on the liner.
How it Works
The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System completely isolates your home from the earth. This dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air which, when combined with sealing outside air and dehumidification, will eliminate mold growth and rot from your crawl space and make the whole house healthier.
Trained installers will will remove wood and organic materials from your crawl space floor. Rocks and uneven surfaces are leveled, depending on the crawl space conditions.
The CleanSpace liner is carefully cut and installed. The workers usually will be working in their socks, once the floor piece is laid out keeping the liner clean. That's how clean your crawl space will be!
Small holes are drilled into the top of your space walls, and nylon fasteners are installed to permanently secures the CleanSpace liner is sealed to the walls with polyurethane sealant. All seams are sealed with a special 4" wide sealing tape and/or sealant made for CleanSpace liner. The CleanSpace liner is also sealed around other objects such as pipes, columns, and piers with any combination of sealants or concrete.
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 Crawlspace liner and exhaust it outdoors.
