Before & After Photos

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.

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.

Crawl spaces are highly susceptible to mold, pests, and rot due to the high humidity and exposure to moist soils. Island Basement Systems installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system to trap out the excess humidity in the crawl space, resulting in a more efficient energy system and ventilation for the home.

Check out this Saltspring Island crawlspace! From rodent-infested, musty and just plain nasty to clean, energy efficient, dry and even pleasant to look at!

This home on SSI was an old cabin with the usual issues; cold floorts, rats, musty smells and rotting rim joists.

Our crawlspace remediation converts old crawlspaces into conditioned crawlspaces; warm, dry, energy efficient, and with much better indoor air quality too. Plus the owner can now use it as a viable storage area!

Our systems come with long term transferable warranties too, so if you're buying or selling your home, know that our crawlspace repair methods are the best on the Island.
