Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

In this project, we started by sealing up some foundation cracks to prevent water from getting into the home. After making sure the area was clean and smooth, we tested it from the outside with water to confirm everything was sealed properly. We also cleaned the space thoroughly, removing debris and vacuuming it. 

Next, we installed a new drainage system under the concrete floor. We dug a trench, placed a pipe to carry water away from the home, and then poured new concrete to close it back up, leaving the area neat and secure.

We also installed a new pump system to help remove any water that might collect under the home. It includes an alarm to alert the homeowner of high water levels.

To wrap up the job, we sealed the crawl space with a heavy-duty moisture barrier, going partway up the walls. This helps control humidity, improves air quality inside the home, and protects the overall structure.

This project was all about protecting the home from basement flooding and giving the homeowners peace of mind. A new primary sump pump system was installed to efficiently collect and remove groundwater, helping keep the basement dry during heavy rain or rising water conditions. The system includes a sealed cover and an alarm to alert homeowners if water levels increase.

To provide extra protection, a battery backup pump system was also installed. This ensures the sump pump continues working even during power outages, one of the most common times for flooding to occur. With built-in alarms and long-term warranty coverage, this setup offers reliable, around-the-clock protection and helps safeguard the home from unexpected water damage.

What have we done in this house?

-The galvanized mesh was laid on the crawl space dirt floor with a coating of concrete to prevent rodents from tunneling into the crawlspace. 

-Insulation to help keep the house warmer.

-Cleanspace vapor barrier was installed to help with the musty smell and to help control a highly humid crawlspace.

-Drain Mat was installed to help protect the vapor barrier. It will also allow water to pass under the liner 

We reinforced the crawl space by installing a steel support system designed to stabilize the floor joists and beams. This included adding a solid steel base on the concrete footing, a steel beam for extra strength, and a joist stabilizer to keep everything secure and level.

This project focused on making the crawl space drier, cleaner, and more energy-efficient. We installed a full liner system and sealed it carefully around footings, piers, and along the foundation walls to help keep moisture and outside air out. A drainage layer was added underneath and extended up the walls to help manage ground moisture and improve durability.

New insulation was installed along the walls and in the rim joist areas, with all seams sealed to reduce drafts and prevent moisture issues. Old materials were removed and properly disposed of as part of the process.

Overall, these upgrades help protect the crawl space from moisture, improve comfort, and support a healthier home environment.
