Crawl Space Clean Up - Merlin,ON

Before

The home had an old, worn out poly vapour barrier on the floor to separate the moist cold dirt from the living space. The older barrier was not functioning properly and allowed water and humidity to come through. Attempts were made to dry the area such as using house fans to move the air flow.

The insulation in the area was fiberglass batts in between the floor joists that contained high moisture content and would not stay in place. Fiberglass batts in the floor joists above is the wrong way to insulate a crawl space. Insulation needs to be where outside air will meet inside air.

After

Advanced Basement Systems installed the Clean Space encapsulation system which included ground encapsulation material up the sides of the exterior walls, spray foam insulation on the walls and finally a powerful dehumidification unit to keep the space dry.

If your crawl space is not treated properly it will affect your entire home. Give Advanced Basement Systems a call to remedy a bad dirt crawl space!
