Problem: This crawl space needed help! All of the incorrectly installed insulation is falling everywhere. The damp earth is causing wood-rot and energy loss is high.
Solution: We cleaned out all the old insulation and debris. Then, we encapsulated the earth with our CleanSpace product which gives the space a beautiful white finish. At the end, we insulated the walls with spray foam. What a transformation!

Problem: The paving stones outside this basement were not properly graded and over time water was entering the basement through the window structure.
Solution: Our team installed a window well with improved drainage and means of egress. You can learn more about our basement window waterproofing by clicking here.

Problem: This dirt floor crawl space is allowing moisture into the home constantly with the earth being exposed. The humidity is high and there are odours in the main level of the home.
Solution: By installing an encapsulation system (moisture barrier) we can isolate the home from the earth. We also want to seal off all outside air. This space was also dehumidified to condition the air.

Problem: A dirt floor crawl space can cause many problems in a home. High humidity is an unhealthy environment and a breeding ground for mould and allergens, as well as damaging to organic structures such as wood beams, joists and flooring.
Solution: We completely sealed this crawl space with our heavy duty crawl space liner (so durable you can easily walk on it and store items on it) – now the crawl space is dry and clean.

Problem: Open crawl space vents allow for the outside air to easily enter a crawl space. Fluctuations in weather combined with the naturally damp and humid environment in a crawl space means a home is likely to have cold floors, higher humidity and a damp, musty smell.
Open crawl space vents are also an invitation to pests to live under your home!
Solution: We replaced all the open vents and installed airtight vent covers. Although the covers are only part of creating a healthy and dry crawl space environment – it’s an important step!
