Before & After Photos

Problem: This home’s crawl space was damp and musty. Through what is known as The Stack Effect, this undesirable air made its way into the home, resulting in musty, damp and mouldy smells. Some of the fibreglass insulation on the exterior walls was wet and had lost its insulating properties.

Solution: We improved the drainage in the space and encapsulated the dirt floor with our heavy duty CleanSpace crawl space vapour barrier. Our team also added mould and mildew proof SprayFoam Insulation on the exterior walls and also as a sealant on the vapour barrier. 

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:  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!
