Before & After Photos

Block wall crawl space with dirt floor and no sump pump system

Crawl Space without a sump system corrected after encapsulation.

The home was showing signs of moisture and low heating efficiency. The original construction used a 6 mil vapour barrier over the dirt floor but was not properly sealed to the walls or posts. There was no insulation on the walls or headers. Advanced Basement Systems installed Clean Space Encapsulation along with spray foam insulation on the walls and headers to improve home comfort and humidity control.

Problem: These homeowners were experiencing a problem prevalent in homes that have an open dirt floor crawl space:

-        High humidity, resulting in a musty smelling home

-        Cold floors in the winter

-        High heating and cooling bills as they were continually heating and cooling the outdoor air which was making its way into the crawl space.

Solution: We sealed off the crawl space, encapsulating it with our Clean Space® Vapour Barrier, including the support columns. We sealed the exterior vents and added Spray Foam Insulation to the exterior walls.

Problem: Cold floors, rotting wood and mold were issues in this home. Outside moisture getting in was the cause.

Solution: Now that the CleanSpace liner has been installed the house is isolated from the earth, which creates a healthy, dry enviroment.
