Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

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 

This project focused on improving water management in the crawl space by installing an interior drainage system beneath the floor. The new drainage line was connected to the existing drain tile system to help collect and direct water away more effectively.

To complete the installation, the existing crawl space liner was carefully rolled back and then resealed and taped once the drainage system was in place to maintain a proper moisture barrier. An access port was also installed to allow future maintenance and inspection of the system.

In addition, sections of the wall were rough cut as shown in the project plan to allow for the drainage installation.

These upgrades help improve water control, protect the crawl space from moisture buildup, and support long-term foundation protection.

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.

We installed a heavy-duty SmartJack to support the floor and stop it from sagging. There was a cracked wood beam, so we fixed it by attaching two new boards on each side to make it solid again. Then we added a strong laminated beam to help carry the weight and keep everything safe and stable.
