Crawl Space Encapsulation, Insulation & Moisture Protection

For this project, we began by preparing the crawl space with a detailed cleanup. The heating ducts and sewer lines were wiped down, spider webs cleared, and old drywall and fiberglass removed from the exterior walls. Stored items were also moved out to make space for the installation.

 

We then installed drainage matting beneath the liner and extended it up the walls. This helps protect against ground seepage, makes the floor more durable, and provides a smoother surface for storage. To improve energy efficiency, new rim joist insulation was installed, followed by foil-faced wall insulation. All seams and gaps were carefully sealed with spray foam and foil tape to ensure a tight and moisture-resistant finish.

 

Next, the space was inspected for any possible rodent entry points, and wire mesh was installed where needed for added protection. Finally, we encapsulated the entire crawl space with a heavy-duty liner, fastening and sealing it to the footings, piers, and walls to create a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment.

 

The end result is a healthier crawl space that is fully protected against moisture, pests, and energy loss.

Crawl Space Transformed into a Clean, Dry & Energy-Efficient Area

For this project, we transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthier environment. Our work included fully sealing the area, insulating the walls, and protecting the space from outside moisture. We also added drainage protection to help with ground seepage, cleaned and prepped the space by removing debris and spider webs, and installed a dehumidifier to control humidity levels. In addition, we insulated the rim joists and stud walls for improved energy efficiency. Altogether, these steps make the crawl space more durable, comfortable, and better protected for the long term.

Window wells

 

We replaced old window wells with new, durable systems to improve drainage and functionality. First, we removed the old materials and cleared excess soil and debris to create clearance under each window. Clean stone was added for a stable base, and new treated lumber was installed to form the window wells. We added drainage mats on the exterior and finished them with mould strips for proper water management. 

Super Sump and Feedline in North Vancouver

The Super Sump and Feedline system is a basement waterproofing solution that effectively manages excess water and prevents moisture buildup. This job involves installing a powerful sump pump and a specialized feedline to ensure the basement stays dry and protected from water damage.

Improved crawl space for a healthier home

We begin by removing the old liner and installing a strong moisture barrier that’s securely sealed around the footings, piers, and foundation walls. If there’s insulation already in place, we make sure the barrier fits properly in front of it for extra protection.

Next, we install a drainage mat under the barrier and up the walls to prevent moisture from seeping in. This also makes the space more durable and comfortable for storage.

We then add high-quality insulation along the rim joists to improve energy efficiency and replace any old or damaged support beams. We also clean up the space by removing old wood and large pieces of concrete around the fireplace.

To make the crawl space more accessible and better protected, we installed an insulated crawl space door with a seal. Finally, we add more wall insulation and seal all gaps to ensure no moisture or odors can get in.
