A vented or unconditioned crawl space under a home is a very bad idea, and if it's a dirt crawl space it can be that much worse. The earth has very high humidity in the soil and this water vapor can easily move into the crawlspace and upwards into the home.

A damp environment is destructive and unhealthy. A damp or wet crawl space is the perfect place for mold to thrive and propagate by producing millions of spores that are light enough to be carried airborne up into the home. In a damp North Carolina crawl space cooling and heating costs are higher, especially in situations with a vented crawl space. Insects also love a damp crawlspace and wet materials that include the building materials of your home. Rot and decay also occur in damp environments, and this can cause structural damage.

A crawlspace doesn't need be flooded or wet to be unhealthy.

A home's natural airflow is from bottom to top. This upward airflow sucks the moist air and everything in it into the living areas of the home. Musty odors, mold spores, dust mite fecal matter, and humidity all rise upward with the airflow. Many people are allergic to these things, and experience a host of symptoms and don't realize that it's the crawlspace that is affecting their health.

The solution to a damp crawl space is the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System, developed by Basement Systems and only available in North Carolina's high country, the Triad and areas between, through Tar Heel Basement Systems.

CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System
The CleanSpace system isolates a home from the earth, lowering the relative humidity level, and thereby reducing the possibility of future mold growth. Consequently, the chances of damage to building materials, insect and critter infestation, and dust mite propagation are greatly reduced.

The CleanSpace crawl space vapor liner is a heavy 20-mil-thick material, similar to a pool liner. The liner is seven layers of high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and two layers of polyester-cord reinforcement. The CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier is blue on the bottom and white on the top. The bright white side really brightens a crawlspace with the available lighting. The CleanSpace liner is tough enough to crawl on and to use for storage space. Service people can crawl on it without worry of putting holes or tears in it. And if your home has radon, CleanSpace can operate as a passive radon mitigation system!
