Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Challenge: Access doors or open vents in a crawl space is one of the areas where the outside environment enters and affects an entire home. 

Solution: A sealed crawl space access is one of the many things we do when encapsulating a crawl space. We also installed a well for improved access and drainage.

Challenge: This crawl space could be described as “high and dry”... but the dirt floor and lack of insulation on the exterior walls made the home’s floor cold during the winter months. 

Solution: We completely sealed the crawl space from the outside environment, and added spray foam insulation. Spray foam offers a  high R-value, sealing air leaks and also serving as a moisture barrier.

Problem: The home had a high moisture content in the crawl space. The exposed earth allowed year-round humidity to cause severe damage to the wood beam.

Solution: Install new support columns to hold up the reinforced beam, along with the Clean Space vapour barrier to seal off the home from the earth and finally a high-performance dehumidifier to allow the space to be conditioned and healthy.

This dirt crawl space in Goderich, ON was in need of some help! Our team was able to encapsulate, insulate, dehumidify and clean up this space. It's now dry and clean, helping this entire home to be more healthy in the air its owners breathe.

We also installed DC315 thermal barrier over the spray foam. which gives the foam that bright white look.
