Before & After Photos

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!

Problem:  An open sump pump pit is an undesirable feature in homes: but especially when it’s located within a dirt floor crawl space. Dirt and debris can easily enter the pit causing the pump to clog and malfunction. The open pit adds unwanted excess humidity in an already challenging environment.

Solution:  Our crew installed the Triple Safe™ sump pump and pit liner; a sump pump system designed for crawl spaces. This pump is fully compatible with our complete crawl space vapour barrier system, which the homeowners also had installed.

With regular yearly maintenance, these homeowners now enjoy the comfort of knowing their sump pump system is efficient, working and reliable!

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.

We mitigated this home for Radon Gas. We also installed this sump lid, which has a hinged window access point. 

Problem: The dirt floor crawl space was creating a damp and musty environment in this home. This homeowner required some debris to be removed from the crawl space. The homeowner also had the problem of cold floors above the crawl space as there was not enough insulation.

Solution: We installed a Clean Space liner to help with humidity and moisture in the crawl space and included Spray Foam insulation. Now the homeowner enjoys the benefits of a dry and comfortable crawl space area: less humidity in the home, eliminating musty odours and improved heating and cooling performance.
