Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

This project focused on cleaning, repairing, and protecting the crawl space after signs of rodent activity. We began by removing unwanted stored items with the homeowner's approval, followed by the removal of old insulation, debris, rodent droppings, and spider webs. The entire crawl space was then thoroughly HEPA vacuumed, and all concrete surfaces were treated with a specialized germicide to help sanitize the area.

To help prevent future rodent problems, wire mesh was installed at identified entry points, including along the rear baseplate and floor. Any rotted baseplates were also replaced to restore the integrity of the crawl space structure.

Finally, new insulation was installed along the foundation walls and in the rim joist areas, with all seams carefully sealed to help reduce drafts, improve energy efficiency, and resist moisture.

The result is a cleaner, healthier, and better-protected crawl space that helps keep pests out while improving the home's comfort and long-term durability.

We start by installing a strong moisture barrier in your crawl space, and carefully sealing it around the footings, piers, and foundation walls to keep moisture out. If there’s insulation, we make sure the barrier fits snugly in front of it for maximum protection. We also wrap the bottoms of the piers to prevent moisture buildup.

To help manage any water seepage, we add a durable drainage mat underneath the moisture barrier and up the walls, giving the space a rougher surface that’s great for storing items and adding long-lasting durability. Any old, rotted 2x4 supports are replaced to ensure your structure is stable.

Next, we install high-quality, foil-faced insulation along the walls, sealing all the seams so no air or moisture can get through. We also treat all wood surfaces with a specialized mould prevention solution to keep your crawl space fresh and healthy. Finally, we remove old insulation from the floor joist area, making sure everything stays clean and dry.

This comprehensive approach keeps your crawl space dry, energy-efficient, and protected, creating a healthier environment for your home.

We recently finished a full crawl space makeover to help make this area cleaner, drier, and better protected for the long term. First, we installed a heavy duty liner system to seal off the space and keep out moisture, making sure everything was tightly secured around the walls, footings, and insulation. To help with drainage and make the ground more comfortable for storage, we laid down a special mat under the liner and brought it up along the lower walls. We also added insulation around the rim of the crawl space to help improve energy efficiency. Next, we treated all the wooden and organic surfaces to prevent mold, gave the space a good cleaning including wiping down the tops of heating ducts and pipes, clearing out spider webs, and removing any loose debris. We also repaired a crack in the foundation by injecting it with a flexible sealant and reinforcing it with a strong material to keep it stable and dry.

For this project, the homeowner had a crack in the foundation and signs of mould in the area. Our team took care of both issues to make the space dry, strong, and healthier.

First, we sealed the crack in the foundation to stop any water from leaking in. Then, we added strong support over the crack to help keep the wall stable and prevent future problems. After the repair, we put the insulation back in place.

We also added extra reinforcement to another crack inside the basement to make sure everything was secure.

To finish the job, we treated all wood and other natural surfaces in the area with a mold-killing solution. This helps get rid of mold and keeps the air in the basement fresher and healthier.

Now, the homeowner has peace of mind knowing their basement is dry, strong, and protected.

This project focused on cleaning and upgrading the crawl space to improve its overall condition and energy efficiency. We began by removing loose debris, construction materials, and unwanted stored items, while carefully preserving any belongings the homeowner wished to keep. Heating ducts and sewer lines were wiped down, and spider webs were removed to leave the space clean and organized.

To improve comfort and reduce energy loss, new insulation was installed along the foundation walls and in the rim joist areas. All seams and gaps were carefully sealed to help reduce drafts, resist moisture, and improve the home's overall energy efficiency.

The result is a cleaner, more organized, and better-insulated crawl space that helps create a healthier and more comfortable home.
