Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Dirt Crawl Space Repair - Brucefield, ON

This dirt-floor crawl space in Brucefield was struggling with water intrusion and unpleasant odours. Our team transformed it by fully encapsulating the space, installing drainage, adding a sump pump, a strong dehumidifier and insulating the walls. We also sprayed the spray foam with DC315 Thermal Barrier Paint. The result is a dry, healthy crawl space that not only protects the home but also provides clean, usable storage. A true glow-up for this property!

Poly Encapsulation

This is why we say don't use a poly barrier as your encapsulation system.

Debris

For any proper encapsulation work, debris (especially organic) has to come out of the crawl space first!

Old Fiberglass

See in the headers, that old pink fiberglass? It hold so much moisture and smell- it has to go! This crawl needs a lot of prep before the ABS team does their magic.

Half Way

The drainage, sump pump and CleanSpace have been installed. A little clean up and then it's time for spray foam insulation on the walls.

Spray Foam

It's common for most crawl spaces to have 3" thickness of spray foam on the foundation walls and headers. 2" and 3.5" are also options. Once it's painted with DC315, it has a bright white finish.

Airtight

This dirt crawl space is airtight now. Beautiful work.

Dehumidifier

Our Sani Dry Sedona Air System is a great option to condition the air. It helps remove odours and of course dehumidify the space! It's powerful, quiet and energy efficient. The unit has a drain hose which allows it to automatically drain into the airtight sump pump.
