Before & After Photos

This crawl space had no perimeter wall insulation nor any humidity control. We encapsulated the dirt floor, isolating the home from the earth. From there, we installed a sump pump and back-up system to capture groundwater from the footing drain. Then, our Sani Dry Air System was placed to take care of conditioning the air. 

Finally, our spray foam crew sealed all outside air leaks with closed cell insulation on the walls and up into the headers. Great job team!

Problem: These home owners contacted Advanced Basement Systems to improve their crawl space environment. The crawl space had several problems:

-        Wet and damp

-        Mould growth on wood

-        Failing beams

-        Wet, ineffective insulation

-        Poor supports

-        Excess debris

Solution: Our crawl space specialists:

-        Cleaned out the debris

-        Replaced beams

-        Cleaned the mould

-        Installed Smart Jacks

-        Encapsulated the crawl space, sealing it from the outside environment

All our products work together to create a clean, healthy and dry crawl space. It’s hard to believe it’s the same space – what a transformation!

A vapour barrier or an encapsulation system, is crucial in a dirt floor crawl space. Isolating the home from the earth is 1 step of 4 in fixing the issue! The barrier needs to be engineered to sit on dirt and not breakdown and become brittle.

Problem: Dirt floor crawl space, 6.5ft high, allowing water inside. Mold, odors and pests were an occurring issue.

Solution: Encapsulate entire sub-level and ensure adequate drainage was in place. Now is a safe, dry, comfortable area for storage.

Problem:  Unlevel concrete poses several problems for homeowners:

• Tripping hazard, particularly in high traffic areas
• When concrete sloped towards the home, it can increase the likelihood of water penetration into the basement or crawlspace
• Unsightly and unattractive; affecting the enjoyment of this patio area

Solution:  We raised and levelled the sunken concrete slabs with PolyLevel.
