Before & After Photos

Problem: These homeowners were experiencing many problems with their home as a result of a poor crawl space environment.

-        Sloping floors as a result of shifting supports

-        The wet crawl space created a musty, damp smell in their house

-        Mould forming on the wood beams as a result of the high humidity

-        Cold floors in the winter months and high energy costs

Solution: This was a big job, involving many important components and we were up for the task!

Our team:

-        Encapsulating the space with our Clean Space® Vapour Barrier.

-        Installed new SmartJack® Crawl Space Support Beam Stabilizers.

-        Replaced a failing support beam.

-        We sealed the exterior vents and added Spray Foam Insulation to some exterior walls.

-        Installed our super quiet, efficient and nearly maintenance-free SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier.

This transformation is another example of how our products work together for a smart solution to crawl space challenges.

Problem: These homeowners contacted Advanced Basement Systems to improve their crawl space environment. The space had excess debris, was damp and unlevel. The homeowners were experiencing a musty smell throughout their home due to the crawl space’s humid environment, and their floors were cold during the winter months.

Solution: Our team:

-        Cleaned out the debris

-        Leveled the crawl space

-        Completely encapsulated the crawl space, sealing it from the outside environment

-        Installed Spray Foam Insulation on the exterior walls to help with the home’s heating and cooling efficiency.

All our products work together to create a clean, healthy and dry crawl space. It’s hard to believe it’s the same space – what a transformation!

Problem:  Cold floors, high utility bills and a musty smell throughout the home prompted this homeowner to contact us for help.  

Solution: Our team of crawl space specialists removed the old, wet and ineffective fiberglass and rigid insulation, and sealed off the crawl space against the heat/cold cycle which effects the crawl space air (and makes the home smell musty due to mould and mildew growth). Our installers finished off the job with Spray Foam Insulation.

Spray foam insulation is one of the newest and most-advanced types of insulation available. More and more home and business owners are choosing to have spray foam insulation installed because of its unique properties.

Unlike fiberglass and other “fluffy” insulation materials, Spray Polyurethane Foam can’t be damaged by moisture. Once installed, spray foam won’t ever fall out of place or lose its R-value because of compression like fiberglass can.

This homeowner will now enjoy improved comfort and lower utility bills!

Problem: This tight and musty area under the home was starting to cause mould growth on the wood supports. Wood is everywhere inside a home and if it begins to rot due to high humidity and moisture, it can be a very costly repiar. We needed to get to work here right away!

Solution: We cleaned out all the debris of this small space. Then we installed our Clean Space Encapsulation System (the white liner). Once that was installed, our crew came in and spray foam insulated the headers (above the foundation wall where a lot of air leaks get in). The space is now safe and healthy.
