The CleanSpace Crawl Space Liner: A Green Solution
Crawl space vents are causing a housing epidemic all across Ontario, including Ancaster, Brantford, Burlington, Cambridge, Dundas, Niagra Falls, Milton, Woodstock, and surrounding areas in ON. Since their first installation, crawl space vents have grown infamous for turning crawl spaces into rotting, moldy, and energy-inefficient spaces.
This doesn't have to be! Basement System's international network of professional crawl space waterproofers has a long-lasting and environmentally sensible solution that will save you money and repairs for years to come.

Crawl Space Vents in the Winter
Cold winter air can also circulate through a home in Waterdown, Port Colborne, Milton, Guelph, and areas nearby through the crawl space vents.
The cold air pulled in will affect everything in the space, including water heaters, hot water pipes, furnaces, and heating ducts. These utilities will be forced to work harder just to do their daily work, and the added cold air cools the floorboards above, making an uncomfortable floor above. The end result is more money spent during the cold months.
Crawl Spaces in the Summer
During the humidity and heat of a summer, the problem is much worse. Instead of drying your crawlspace, the summer air that flows in adds an enormous amount of humidity.
As this humid air enters the space, its temperature drops to about 50 degrees, and its relative humidity rises. This leads to condensation throughout the crawl space, including on wood, support beams, metal, and floorboards.
As this condensation builds and saturates the area, it will lead to rot, mold, and higher risk of infestations of termites, ants, beetles, rodents, and other pests. This humid air creates a drain on air conditioners in the space, as humid air is much more difficult to condition than dry air.
The CleanSpace Crawl Space Liner
The CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier provided by Omni Basement Systems of Hamilton,ON includes a 20-mil polyethylene liner that can block moisture from entering the crawl space.
The CleanSpace liner will also keep moisture out of the crawl space, as well as cold winter air.
The liner has been designed with a white visible facing that's best for taking advantage of available lighting, and it's durable enough for the homeowner and servicemen to use without ripping or tearing the liner. An UltraFresh antimicrobial additive used when designing CleanSpace helps to keep the liner free of mold, and once installed, the CleanSpace encapsulation system even makes the crawl space a usable storage area!
Crawl Space Insulation Products
The crawl space insulation materials and the professionalism of the contractor installing them can impact how well your crawl space is insulated. High-quality materials and a trustworthy contractor can ensure that your crawl space stays warmer in the winter and drier in the summer. Basement Systems dealerships offer two great crawl space insulation products for homeowners.
CleanSpace TerraBlock, available in [cities], is a 3/4 inch insulation sandwiched between 2 layers of poly film. It offers great insulation and protection to dirt crawl spaces when combined with one of the CleanSpace liners.
For the ultimate in drainage and closed crawl space protection, add the CleanSpace drainage matting. This trio of products is for those homeowners that are most interested in saving energy in their homes. TerraBlock is the first crawl space insulation for the crawl space floor and the walls. It helps recapture any duct leakage, warm or cold, and helps contain it in the building envelope.
CleanSpace HeatBlock is a 10 mil cord-reinforced crawl space liner with UltraFresh antimicrobial protection. It works as another line of defense between your crawl space and the outside air.
The shiny reflective surface stops heat transfer and reflects heat from your home into your crawl space, keeping it warmer.
HeatBlock can be installed on both the crawl space walls and the crawl space floors, or just on the walls with another CleanSpace product on the floor. It can also be installed over CleanSpace Drainage Matting or Drainage Matting XL.
This crawl space liner is perfect for crawl spaces with openings such as air ducts and furnaces. HeatBlock will recoup the energy loss through open ductwork and radiate it back into the room. All of these crawl space insulation products can be used together in different combinations in your crawl space as well to give you all the benefits of a complete system.
