Before & After Photos

Challenge: These homeowners’ crawl space was always damp and humid, creating musty smells in the home. 

Solution: This home is in a low-lying area with a high water table. Here’s what we did:

We levelled the uneven ground and installed drainage matting which helps move water into the newly installed crawl space sump pump, the SmartSump™. To seal the crawl space from the ground and the outside environment, we installed our super heavy-duty vapour barrier and sealed to the exterior walls with spray foam insulation. The last part of the repair is installing vent covers and sealing the crawl space access. 

What a transformation!

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:

1. It is difficult to dig trenches and create drains to properly direct the water out of the crawl space compared to dirt.

2. 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.

This unsealed crawl space had very high humidity which was causing problems in this Dover Centre home. The issues in the crawl space were manifesting throughout the home: musty smells and drafty, cold floors in the winter.

Our team completely sealed the crawl space; now it’s healthy, clean, dry and efficient.

Problem:  This crawl space was damp – even wet in areas – and required improved drainage for a healthy, dry environment.

Solution: Our Advanced Basement crawl space specialist installed a sump pump specifically designed for the unique needs of a crawl space. Then our team encapsulated the entire crawl space with a CleanSpace liner which stops water vapour and humidity from entering the area, and keeps moisture levels acceptable and the crawl space nice and dry.
