Drainage, mould, and structural fixes all in one crawl space project

We completed a full crawl space repair to address moisture, drainage, and structural concerns. A sump pump system with a battery backup was installed to manage groundwater and prevent flooding, even during power outages. The entire space was encapsulated and sealed with drainage matting to protect against seepage and improve durability. We removed debris and old insulation and treated all surfaces for mold. A dehumidifier was installed to control humidity, and new moisture-resistant insulation was added to boost energy efficiency. Structurally, we stabilized floor joists with a steel jack system and replaced a 10-foot section of rotten sill plate and rim joist, supporting the area with a steel I-beam and new framing. We also redirected exterior water flow to a catch basin to keep the area dry. The result is a clean, dry, and stable space ready to protect the home for years.

Crawl Space Cleaning and Debris Removal in Surrey

This project focused on giving the crawl space a thorough clean-up. We wiped down heating ducts and sewer lines, removed spider webs, and bagged and removed loose insulation from the floor and floor joists. The area was then swept and vacuumed to eliminate dust and debris.

 

This clean-up helps improve air quality, reduce pest activity, and leave the crawl space in a cleaner, healthier condition.

Window Well Replacement and Drainage Improvement in Surrey

This project focused on rebuilding the window well to improve drainage and protect the foundation. The old window well materials were removed and properly disposed of. Excess soil and debris were cleared to create six inches of space below the window, and clean stone was added to help water drain away properly.

 

A new window well was built using treated lumber for long-lasting durability. A drainage mat was installed along the exterior to guide water away from the foundation and finished neatly with a mould strip at the top edge. Finally, the area was backfilled with the existing soil, leaving a clean and secure finish around the window.

Window Well Replacement and Drainage Upgrade in Surrey

This project involved replacing three window wells to improve drainage and protect the foundation. The old window well materials were removed and properly disposed of. Excess soil and debris were cleared to provide six inches of clearance below each window, and clean stone was added to help water drain away effectively.

 

New window wells were built using treated lumber for strength and durability. A drainage mat was installed along the exterior of each well to guide water away from the foundation, with the top edge neatly finished using a mould strip. The areas were then backfilled with the existing soil for a clean, secure finish.

 

To complete the upgrade, custom-made aluminum grills were installed over the window wells, adding protection while maintaining airflow and safety.

Window Well Replacement and Drainage Upgrade in Surrey, BC

This project focused on rebuilding and improving the drainage of an existing window well. The team started by removing and disposing of the old materials, then cleared out excess soil and debris to create six inches of proper clearance beneath the window. A clean layer of stone was added to promote better water drainage and stability.

 

A new window well was constructed using treated lumber for long-lasting protection. To further prevent moisture buildup, a drainage mat was installed along the exterior and finished neatly with a mould strip at the top edge. The area was then backfilled with soil and completed with a custom-made aluminum grill, providing a durable, clean, and secure finish.
