Island Basement Systems Before & After
  • Exterior energy retrofit from the basement up

    Exterior energy retrofit from the basement up

    Exterior retrofit before/after:   This Prospect Lake home had a mould problem on the interior due to the poorly insulated walls. Every winter, condensation would form on the cold walls, leading to a pretty nasty mould issue. In 2009, the owner had enough and the house was retrofitted. To repair the home, the walls were retrofitted by removing the batt insulation from inside and adding R13 of open cell foam. Then we added an exterior layer of  R18 closed cell foam, along with a rain screen system and new Hardie Plank siding. Now the walls are R31 rated are completely air tight! The roof was re-insulated as well with an exterior layer of closed cell foam, and new sheathing and shingles to complete the package. A true deep retrofit that also score 84 on the EnerGuide rating.   For this project, we started with the foundation repairs, and eventually solved the entire homes energy efficiency issues.
  • Crawlspace Encapsulation on Salt Spring Island

    Crawlspace Encapsulation on Salt Spring Island

    This crawlspace was conditioned by removing the old batt insulation and installing CleanSpace two layer encapsulation liner across the entire crawlspace, sealing and anchoring the foundation walls and interior strip footing. Any exterior vents were closed off with membrane prior to being sealed with spray foam. R20 Closed cell spray foam was used on the exterior walls of the main crawlspace to insulate 100% of those walls.

    The ThermalDry waterproof membrane rolls out over your basement floor, creating a moisture barrier between the cold, damp floor. Plywood is anchored to the floor over the ThermalDry membrane by drilling holes and anchoring with fasteners. The membrane will never rot, corrode or deteriorate. After the installation, carpet, tile or linoleum can be lain, making the floor warm and dry. The space can be used as a bedroom, playroom or office.   The WaterGuard system intercepts water at the perimeter of your basement and drains it safely away. The musty smells will be reduced, and the drainage system will prevent seepage problems from ever occurring. No more flooded basement and it’ll be more energy efficient whilst providing a healthier indoor air quality.

    CleanSpace provides a permanent ground seal & encapsulation system across the entire crawlspace floor. Adding spray foam to insulate and air seal the exterior crawlspace walls will stop the cold drafts and keep the heat in the home. Conditioning this space will help save energy and heating costs, whilst making the living space more comfortable.
