Keep Critters out of Your Crawl Space with CleanSpace

We often discuss the benefits of CleanSpace in terms of keeping moisture out of your crawl space, and helping to lower energy bills as part of an encapsulation and insulation system. But today, let’s talk about what really matters.

Critters.

I say critters and not just bugs because, while we see plenty of bugs down there, our team has also encountered:

Mice

Rats

Squirrels

Frogs

Lizards

Snakes

And basically any small furry or non-furry creature you can think of.

Once they’re in your crawl space, there’s really no stopping creepy crawlies from making their way into your home. This is especially prevalent in the late winter, as temperature fluctuations cause them to move toward warmth and suddenly there are half a dozen spiders hanging out like they’re on the mortgage. (There was one ON MY SHOWERHEAD a few weeks ago. It was chaos.)

In addition to protecting your crawl space (and your home) from the effects of water - standing or ambient moisture - CleanSpace also protects your crawl space and home from critters, large and small. Bugs and small animals usually enter a crawl space seeking shelter from the elements, coming in through cracks in the walls, gaps in the rim joist, or basically anywhere they can find even the smallest opening.

CleanSpace vapor barrier creates a tight seal on the walls and floor of your crawl space, and is often augmented by a spray insulation at the rim joist to further seal off the crawl space. This renders it inaccessible and inhospitable to critters of all types, which keeps your home free from them.

The groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter this morning - don’t let him spend it in your crawl space. Call us today to ask about CleanSpace.
