The specialist began to develop a plan on solving the issue and making sure the issue was gone permanently. The products that will be used for this house are a CleanSpace liner with a drainage matting and the SaniDry Sedona.
A damp environment is very unhealthy and destructive. Mold thrives and reproduces by producing airborne spores by the millions and some molds are toxic. Insects and critters of all kinds love damp environments and wet materials. Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage. The CleanSpace liner 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
