Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

The daycare facility experienced a water leakage issue, prompting the implementation of effective measures. Trench work was undertaken to divert and contain the water, complemented by the installation of a sump pump to efficiently eliminate excess water and ensure a dry and secure environment.

This project focused on improving the air quality, cleanliness, and energy efficiency of the crawl space. The team began by cleaning the area, wiping down heating ducts, removing spider webs, and clearing loose debris from the floor. All wood and organic surfaces were then treated with a mould control solution to ensure a healthy environment.

A new dehumidifier and air purifier system was installed to control humidity levels and improve overall air quality, helping prevent mould growth and musty odors. A dedicated electrical outlet was added to power the system safely and efficiently. Finally, insulated panels were installed along the rim joist and upper wall sections to enhance comfort, reduce energy loss, and provide long-term protection.

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.
