Before & After Photos

Problem:  Even with a nice layer of clean gravel, this crawl space still has the effects of a typical unsealed crawl space.

Humid air and water vapour enter a home through the porous foundation, crawl space vents and up from the dirt floor of the crawl space; resulting in a damp crawl space, musty odors and an unhealthy environment throughout the entire home.

Solution: Wow – what a difference!

Our team installed the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier: a super durable 20-mil poly-reinforced liner. Now this clean and dry crawl space is a usable storage area and a healthier environment!

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.

Challenge: When it comes to repairing crawl spaces, people usually reach out to us for one or a combination of the following reasons: 

• Musty, funky smells

• Excessive dampness or humidity in the home 

• High heating and cooling costs

• Structural problems (such as sloping floors)

• Cold floors

These homeowners in Port Lambton did not want to face another winter walking on icy cold floors in their home. The previous owners attempted to create a more efficient and comfortable home by installing rigid wall insulation to the exterior foundation walls and stuffing fibreglass insulation into the floor joists above… but these efforts are completely ineffective in an unsealed crawl space. 

Solution: Our team encapsulated the crawl space, completely sealing it off from the outside environment. We then applied spray foam insulation to the exterior walls. The Canadian product we use is Polarfoam7300, it seals air leaks, preventing intrusion and providing insulation. It adheres permanently to all materials, is waterproof and won’t degrade, compress, or lose its R-value as other insulation types can.

Problem:  These homeowners were experiencing the negative affects of a damp, musty crawl space throughout their entire home.

Solution: We sealed the vents, updated their existing sump pump and encapsulated the entire crawl space. Our CleanSpace Liner stops moisture from passing through the dirt floor and porous concrete walls.

Now the homeowners are enjoying a healthier home!
