Protected and Improved crawl space

We start by installing a strong moisture barrier in your crawl space, and carefully sealing it around the footings, piers, and foundation walls to keep moisture out. If there’s insulation, we make sure the barrier fits snugly in front of it for maximum protection. We also wrap the bottoms of the piers to prevent moisture buildup.

To help manage any water seepage, we add a durable drainage mat underneath the moisture barrier and up the walls, giving the space a rougher surface that’s great for storing items and adding long-lasting durability. Any old, rotted 2x4 supports are replaced to ensure your structure is stable.

Next, we install high-quality, foil-faced insulation along the walls, sealing all the seams so no air or moisture can get through. We also treat all wood surfaces with a specialized mould prevention solution to keep your crawl space fresh and healthy. Finally, we remove old insulation from the floor joist area, making sure everything stays clean and dry.

 

This comprehensive approach keeps your crawl space dry, energy-efficient, and protected, creating a healthier environment for your home.

Window wells

 

We replaced old window wells with new, durable systems to improve drainage and functionality. First, we removed the old materials and cleared excess soil and debris to create clearance under each window. Clean stone was added for a stable base, and new treated lumber was installed to form the window wells. We added drainage mats on the exterior and finished them with mould strips for proper water management. 

Improved crawl space for a healthier home

We begin by removing the old liner and installing a strong moisture barrier that’s securely sealed around the footings, piers, and foundation walls. If there’s insulation already in place, we make sure the barrier fits properly in front of it for extra protection.

Next, we install a drainage mat under the barrier and up the walls to prevent moisture from seeping in. This also makes the space more durable and comfortable for storage.

We then add high-quality insulation along the rim joists to improve energy efficiency and replace any old or damaged support beams. We also clean up the space by removing old wood and large pieces of concrete around the fireplace.

To make the crawl space more accessible and better protected, we installed an insulated crawl space door with a seal. Finally, we add more wall insulation and seal all gaps to ensure no moisture or odors can get in.

 

 

Turning a Damp, Musty Crawl Space into a Clean, Dry Space

A homeowner was struggling with a damp, musty crawl space that felt unhealthy and at risk for flooding. To fix the problem, we installed a SmartSump Pump System to keep water out and ensure the space stayed dry. Then, we sealed the entire area with a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, creating a barrier against moisture and protecting the foundation. We also added drainage matting under the liner to prevent seepage and make the space more durable.

 

Before sealing everything up, we gave the crawl space a thorough cleaning, wiping down ducts, removing debris, and disposing of the old vapor barrier. To maintain a healthy environment, we installed a dehumidifier and air purifier to control humidity and improve air quality. Finally, we added vent covers to block outside moisture. Now, the homeowner has a clean, dry, and energy-efficient crawl space—free from musty odors and moisture worries!
