Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

The drainage system will be connected to the existing rain leader to ensure proper water flow away from the foundation, helping to prevent pooling and moisture issues around the home.

For this project, we completely transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment. We started by removing old materials, including fiberglass insulation, rigid foam, and the existing vapor barrier. Heating ducts, sewer lines, and other surfaces were wiped down, spider webs cleared, and all debris safely disposed of.

Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with a heavy-duty liner, carefully sealed at the footings, piers, and along the foundation walls. Drainage matting was installed beneath the liner and extended up the walls to protect against ground seepage, while also adding durability and comfort for storage.

To improve sanitation, all concrete surfaces, the foundation walls, soil, and rim joist area were sprayed with a germicide to neutralize rodent urine. We then installed new foil-faced wall insulation, sealing all seams and gaps with spray foam and foil tape to create a tight, moisture-resistant barrier that does not absorb odors. Finally, insulation was added to the rim joists, providing for maximum energy efficiency.

The result is a healthier, better-protected crawl space that improves comfort, energy savings, and long-term home durability.

To create a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient crawl space, we’ll begin by removing debris and installing a durable encapsulation system. The liner will securely seal around footings, piers, and foundation walls. If insulation is present, the liner will extend slightly over it for a tight seal. A drainage mat will be added to manage moisture and improve durability. Insulated wall panels will be installed with sealed seams to prevent moisture and odors. Lastly, we’ll spread drain rock for added protection and install wire mesh over openings.

A damp crawl space can lead to musty odors, mould, and even structural issues. That’s why we fully seal and protect the area by securely fastening and air-sealing a durable moisture barrier at footings, piers, and foundation walls. If insulation is present, the barrier extends 6” in front of it for complete coverage.

To further protect your home, we add a drainage layer beneath the barrier, extending slightly up the exterior walls. This prevents ground seepage, improves durability, and creates a cleaner, healthier space & perfect for storage and peace of mind.
