There are three things that destroy materials and wood in particular: water, heat and ultraviolet radiation. Of these, water is by far the most damaging.
A dirt, vented or unconditioned concrete crawl space under a home in West Virginia is a very bad idea. This is because the earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upward into your home's environment.
Damp environments are unhealthy and destructive... a place where mold can thrive and spreads by producing millions of airborne spores - a rare few of which are even toxic - and heating and cooling costs are higher, especially if you have a vented crawl space.
Insects and critters of all kinds absolutely love damp environments because your crawl space is a perfect place for nesting and breeding critters! Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage as well. This can cause floors upstairs to slope or dip, carpeting to feel damp and hardwood floors to buckle and of course, weakening the structure of your home all the while...costing you thousands in wood replacement.

The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to top. This sucks the moist air - and everything in it - up into the living areas of the home. Mold spores, odors, humidity and critters create a very unhealthy environment for people.
Many people are allergic to these things and experience a host of symptoms and don't realize that their dirt or concrete crawl space is affecting their health.
The good news is, there is a solution for crawl spaces in West Virginia - The CleanSpace System - developed by Basement Systems, the world leader in dry basement and crawl space technology.
The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System
The CleanSpace Crawl Space system completely isolates your home from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level in the air.
Lower humidity levels reduce or, in some cases, eliminate mold growth, rot and critters from your crawl space, making the entire house healthier.
The CleanSpace liner is a heavy, 20-mil-thick material, similar to a pool liner. It is manufactured in seven layers - a blend of high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene and two layers of polyester-cord reinforcement to give it incredible strength. The bright white finished side really brightens a crawl space with the available lighting and allows you to easily see that your crawl space is free of mold, insects and dirt.
The CleanSpace liner is tough enough for you to crawl on it and use your crawl space for storage. Service people can crawl on it without worry of putting holes or tears in the liner. The liner completely stops moisture penetration and is backed with a 25-year warranty against rips or tears. CleanSpace does not breakdown over time like other vapor barriers and has another very special feature - UltraFresh - manufactured right in to the plastic so no mold or mildew can ever grow on the liner!
