Fixing a Gravel Filled Crawl Space in Essex County, ON
Before
After
Problem: Many homeowners believe that putting a layer of gravel in their crawl space will solve the water and moisture problems. This isn’t true and doesn’t work.
Gravel is porous and it does not stop water from moving or collecting.
Fixing a crawl space with a gravel floor presents two challenges:
It is difficult to dig trenches and create drains to properly direct the water out of the crawl space compared to dirt.
To further keep the humidity level acceptable and encapsulate the space, a very heavy duty liner is required, as the liner will be more prone to rips and tears with the rough gravel below it.
Solution:
Our experienced team members were able to create trenches and drains to effectively move the water into the crawl space sump pump.
Our CleanSpace®️ Liner is super heavy duty and durable enough to withstand the rocky floor encapsulated below.

I have a smell in my crawl space that gets passed through the house through the furnace vents. I suspect it may be sump pump smell but I'm not certain. I need someone to come in and inspect the sump area and identify the smell and alleviate it if possible. Your speed reply would be greatly appreciated. Regards,
Sally

We are looking at purchasing a home in Ridgetown. It is over 100 years old with a partial basement and crawlspace. We would like an estimate of how much it would cost to waterproof the basement and crawlspace. We would also like the foundation inspected. It is a stone foundation that seems to be in good repair.
