Inside the CleanSpace System: How It Transforms Damp Crawl Spaces
Inside the CleanSpace System: How It Transforms Damp Crawl Spaces
For many homeowners, the crawl space is “out of sight, out of mind.” But what happens beneath your home directly affects what happens inside it—your air quality, your energy bills, and even your floors. When moisture sneaks into a crawl space, it can quietly create an environment ripe for mold, odors, wood rot, and unwanted pests.
That’s where the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System comes in. At Keystone Basement Systems, we’ve seen firsthand how this innovative solution takes damp, musty crawl spaces and transforms them into clean, dry, healthy environments that protect the entire home.
What Is the CleanSpace System?
CleanSpace is a durable, vapor-blocking encapsulation system designed specifically for crawl spaces. It’s engineered to keep moisture out, improve energy efficiency, and preserve the structural integrity of the home.
But it’s more than just a plastic liner—CleanSpace works as a comprehensive moisture-control solution that covers walls, floors, and every tricky corner of your crawl space.
How CleanSpace Transforms Damp, Problematic Crawl Spaces
1. It Stops Moisture at the Source
Crawl spaces often deal with moisture rising from the earth, seeping through block walls, or entering through vents. CleanSpace acts as a sealed vapor barrier, blocking those entry points and preventing humidity from settling into your home.
The result? No more damp odors, no more condensation, and no more breeding ground for mold.
2. It Protects Your Home’s Structural Integrity
Wood beams and joists in a damp environment can absorb moisture, leading to rot and weakening over time.
By isolating your crawl space from the moisture in the soil and the air, CleanSpace helps keep these components dry and protected. This adds longevity to the structure of your home—and peace of mind for you.
3. It Makes Your Home More Energy Efficient
A damp crawl space doesn’t just affect air quality—it affects your heating and cooling.
Moist air requires more energy to heat and cool, and air from the crawl space naturally rises into the living areas (thanks to the stack effect). CleanSpace reduces unnecessary humidity, helping your HVAC system run more efficiently.
Many homeowners see lower energy bills after encapsulation.
4. It Creates a Cleaner, Healthier Home Environment
Up to 50% of the air on your first floor comes from your crawl space. When that air is influenced by moisture, soil gases, or odors, you breathe it in.
CleanSpace helps:
-
Reduce allergens
-
Prevent mold growth
-
Improve indoor air quality
-
Eliminate musty odors
This is one improvement you feel immediately.
5. It Pairs with Other Crawl Space Solutions for Maximum Impact
CleanSpace is powerful on its own—but combined with other systems, it becomes an elite defense.
Common additions include:
-
TerraBlock™ for insulation and extra cushioning
-
SilverGlo® Wall Insulation for thermal efficiency
-
Drainage Matting for water channeling
-
Sump pump systems for active water management
-
Dehumidifiers to maintain controlled air quality
When installed together, these systems create a crawl space that performs like a protective shield for the entire home.
The Transformation: From Damp to Defended
When our Keystone team installs CleanSpace, the visual difference alone is remarkable:

But the real transformation lies in the benefits:
-

Greater comfort
-
Improved structural protection
-

It’s not just an upgrade—it’s a long-term investment in the well-being of your home.
