Repairing a crawl space in Belfountain, ON

Before our team arrived, the crawl space beneath this stone foundation was damp, exposed, and contributing to cold floors throughout the main level of the home. Moisture and outside air entering through the crawl space and access hatch created an unhealthy environment, while sections of the floor system required additional structural support. After installing SmartDrain®, Drainage Matting, CleanSpace®, SaniDry™ Sedona, and SmartJack®, the crawl space has been transformed into a clean, dry, and well-protected space. Moisture is now controlled, humidity has been significantly reduced, and the home's floor system has been reinforced, creating a healthier and more comfortable home.

Failing block foundation in Creemore, Ontario

The homeowner in Creemore, ON contacted us due to ongoing stability and moisture issues in their crawl space. The area had poorly sealed vapor barriers and a failing foundation, including visible flaws in the concrete block walls that allowed moisture to seep in. This created a damp, unhealthy environment that posed risks to both the home’s structure and indoor air quality. To fully resolve the problems, our team implemented a comprehensive crawl space repair system. We installed SmartJack® supports to stabilize sagging floors, and CleanSpace® liner to completely seal off the space from ground moisture. Underneath the liner, we placed CleanSpace™ Drainage Matting for effective water flow management. We also added SilverGlo™ insulation on the crawl space walls to enhance energy efficiency and moisture control.

To provide extra protection, we installed a SmartDrain™ system, which alerts the homeowner in the event of a plumbing leak beneath the liner and safely redirects water away from the home. This added layer of drainage ensures peace of mind and long-term protection against unexpected water intrusion.

 

The transformation is clear—what was once a damp, unstable crawl space is now a clean, dry, and structurally sound foundation, reflecting our team’s expertise and commitment to creating healthier homes.
