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:  Window wells are necessary to keep the structure around a window draining properly, keep water and debris away from the window and to improve egress.

Solution: We installed window wells on all the basement windows of this home.

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

The home was showing signs of moisture and low heating efficiency. The original construction used a 6 mil vapour barrier over the dirt floor but was not properly sealed to the walls or posts. There was no insulation on the walls or headers. Advanced Basement Systems installed Clean Space Encapsulation along with spray foam insulation on the walls and headers to improve home comfort and humidity control.
