Testimonial by Paul F. from Rockford, IL
Crawl Space Contractor in Wisconsin and
Northern Illinois including Rockford, Belvidere
A northern Illinois or Wisconsin crawlspace 
can be a tricky environment. A crawl space in Kenosha, Racine, Waukesha, Waukegan or Rockford County has to deal with elevated levels of relative humidity in the summer
months and very cold air in the winter. Call or contact Badger Basement
Systems online for a free crawl space inspection in Wisconsin and estimate.
A vented or unconditioned dirt or concrete crawlspace under a home in Madison, Milwaukee of Wisconsin or Rockford of northern Illinois creates an unhealthy, destructive, and energy
wasting environment. The earth contains very high levels of humidity in
the soil, and this water vapor moves up into the crawl space and
continues upwards into the home environment.
These damp or wet crawl space environments are unhealthy and destructive - where mold grows and
spreads by sending out microscopic airborne spores that rise into the
upstairs with the natural upward flow of air. Also, as moist air is
more difficult to heat or cool, heating and cooling costs are higher,
especially if your crawl space is vented. Insects and critters thrive
in damp crawlspaces. Rot and decay occur in these damp environments as
well, causing structural damage to the organic materials, in particular
the wood flooring system.
A crawl space only needs to be damp to be unhealthy.
In
a house the natural air flow is from bottom to top. This "stack effect"
(so called because of its similarity to a chimney) draws humid air and
everything in it, including odors and mold spores, upward into the
living areas of the home, creating an unhealthy environment. Many home
allergens are caused from mold spores and dust mites, both of which
thrive in environments with elevated levels of relative humidity.
The
solution is the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. CleanSpace
is only available through Badger Basement Systems, the authorized Basement Systems' dealer in Wisconsin and northern Illinois.
If water is present in your Wisconsin homes including Janesville,
Lacrosse, Badger Basement Systems has the entire line of Basement
Systems' crawl space waterproofing products available, including the
finest sump pump systems available in Wisconsin and Illinois.
The CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System
The CleanSpace encapsulation system isolates a house from the earth, reducing relative humidity in the air. The importance of lowering the relative humidity level in
your crawl space is that this is the only effective way in which a home
owner can prevent mold growth, rot, and critters from living and
growing in the crawl space -- thus making the entire home healthier.
The
CleanSpace vapor barrier liner consists of a heavy 20-mil-thick
material manufactured in seven layers, with two layers of cord
reinforcement, to help prevent tears and punctures. The vapor barrier
is blue on one side and white on the other. The bright white side
brightens the crawl space and allows you and other professionals, such
as pest control contractors to crawl on without worry of puncturing or
tearing the liner, to easily see that your crawl space is free of mold
and insects. The liner is tough enough to crawl on and enables you to
use your crawl space as storage -- something that would have been
unheard of prior to the CleanSpace system!
