Problem: This crawl space needed new support columns, an encapsulation system and a new access. The floors were saggy and the crawl space itself was in awful condition.
Solution: Install new supports to hold up the floors in the home. Put a sump pump in to relieve hydrostatic pressure beneath the ground and install a Turtl (crawl space access- see Photo Gallery). We cleaned out all organic material and the old insulation and encapsulated with our 20mm Clean Space.

Problem: This home had a problem with flooding in the crawl space, creating wet, undesirable environment
Solution: An important element of a dry crawl space is a reliable sump pump system. Without one, a crawl space will still be vulnerable to groundwater, as well as unnoticed plumbing leaks. Our SmartSump system is designed for crawl spaces.

Problem: These homeowners were experiencing the negative affects of a damp, musty crawl space throughout their entire home.
Solution: We sealed the vents, updated their existing sump pump and encapsulated the entire crawl space. Our CleanSpace Liner stops moisture from passing through the dirt floor and porous concrete walls.
Now the homeowners are enjoying a healthier home!

A vapour barrier or an encapsulation system, is crucial in a dirt floor crawl space. Isolating the home from the earth is 1 step of 4 in fixing the issue! The barrier needs to be engineered to sit on dirt and not breakdown and become brittle.
This crawl space had no perimeter wall insulation nor any humidity control. We encapsulated the dirt floor, isolating the home from the earth. From there, we installed a sump pump and back-up system to capture groundwater from the footing drain. Then, our Sani Dry Air System was placed to take care of conditioning the air.
Finally, our spray foam crew sealed all outside air leaks with closed cell insulation on the walls and up into the headers. Great job team!
