Before & After Photos

Sarah & Ryan bought a house with a dirt floor crawlspace. They had no idea how this affects the air in the home. When the winter time came, they found that the windows in their home were fogging up. They realtor told them that the windows were new so they didn't know what to do. Omni Basement Systems came out to investigate. They found that the crawlspace was cold and very humid. The humidity also caused the floor joist and beam system to sag from all of the dampness. Through the stack effect of air that causes air to move in a upwardly fashion, all this humidity was coming up into the living areas and causing the windows to fog. 

Omni Basement Systems Suggested our Crawlspace products. First support the floor with our galvanized Smartjack system, encapsulate the area with our patented Cleanspace, dry the air with our powerful Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier and lastly, insulate the walls and joist headers with spray foam.  (to be installed picture was taken.)

The customer said that as soon as work was complete they couldn't believe the change in their home. The windows were no longer fogging and the air was fresher. Once the insulation is complete, they will be able to turn their thermostat down and the furnace won't work as hard now that the air is warmer and dryer. 

Stephen in Ridgeville, On has a crawlspace and the best way to protect the cralspace and the building materials above is to add a Moisture barrier. Omni Bsement systems installed Cleanspace moisture barrier. Cleanspace is a 20 mil thick poly which has 7 layers. The Cleanspace can never rip or come off from movign around on it. It also makes your ugly crawlsapce clean and white and not an eyesore when you go to sell your house down the road. 

Kim has a small crawlspace in her Fonthill home. The dirt floor crawlspace is smelly and emits moisture. Omni Basement Systems installed a vapor barrier to encapsulate the crawlspace. Three layers were used. First a drainage matting to protect the vapor barrier, then a layer of floor insulation to cut down on the condensation and save energy, and lastly Cleanspace vapor barrier is mechanically fastened and sealed to prevent moisture from coming up from the dirt floor. Kim was very impressed about how great her crawlspace looks and feels. 

Sandy in Welland, On needed some repair to correct dampness issues. These include sagging floors and other moisture damage. Omni Basement Systems suggested and installed a vapor barrier called Cleanspace. Cleanspace is a 20mil thick liner that has cord reinforcement and a product called Ultrafresh that inhibits mold growth. Omni also installed house jacks called Smartjacks (not shown) these jacks sits on a very large footing that is galvanized for rust proofing 

Larry B. in Welland, ON has a house with a nasty crawlspace. Despite efforts to insulate and encapsulate himself, the crawlspace was still cold and damp. This caused problems with the floor joists sagging and cold floors upstairs. Omni Basement Systems recommended a 3 part system for Larry. Add supplemental beam and Smartjacks to fix the sagging floors, Silverglo Insulation on the walls to keep the crawlspace and floors warm and finally, encapsulate the crawlspace with Cleanspace membrane. Cleanspace is 20mil thick liner with cord reinforcing and antimicrobial product built right in. Cleanspace is mechanically fasten so it will never come off.
