Fixing a Gravel Filled Crawl Space in Essex County, ON

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.

Spray Foam Insulation added to a Crawl Space - Mooretown, ON

Before:

The living space in the home had high humidity and excessive heating costs. An unfinished crawl space with dirt floors and improper insulation will allow moisture into the home and cold to migrate from the outside.

After:

Advanced Basement Systems was called to encapsulate the crawl space and insulate the exterior walls up to the header with spray foam. This will prevent moisture from entering the area and insulate the space from the cold outside.

 

If your floors are cold and you have high energy bills, give Advanced Basement Systems a call!

Crawl Space Makeover in Port Lampton, ON

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.
