Photo Album: Damp Crawlspace is Encapsulated with CleanSpace in Morrison, IL
Bill recently had his basement waterproofed by MidAmerica Basement Systems to address his leaking basement. While they were installing his waterproofing system, they chatted with him about encapsulating the crawlspace to help reduce the moisture levels throughout the home. After Bill thought about his crawlspace for a while, he decided it was best to encapsulate the area. CleanSpace Drainage Matting was placed along the exposed dirt ground to help collect and move moisture throughout the crawlspace. A thick liner called CleanSpace was than placed over top the matting and along the walls to completely and permanently seal off the moisture from the crawlspace and rest of the home. Bill now has a completely waterproofed basement and crawlspace, leaving his home dry and healthy.
