This project focused on improving water management, sealing the crawl space, and upgrading insulation for better long-term protection. We started by removing the old sump pump and cleaning out the sump pit, then installing a new, more reliable pump to ensure proper water removal. Old plastic piping was removed and disposed of, and the sump lid was secured with new bolts for a tighter seal.
Next, we refreshed the crawl space liner by cleaning the existing material, removing any organic debris, and resealing the top edge along the wall to maintain an airtight barrier. A new drainage layer was installed across the floor and up the walls to help manage ground moisture. Over this, a new liner was installed, extended up the walls, and securely fastened and sealed for added protection.
To improve energy efficiency, new insulation was added to the rim joist area to reduce heat loss and drafts.
Overall, this work helps keep the crawl space dry, clean, and well-sealed, protecting the home from moisture issues while improving comfort and durability for the homeowners.
This project focused on refreshing and sanitizing the crawl space. The area was thoroughly cleaned by wiping down heating ducts and sewer lines, removing spider webs, sweeping and clearing debris, and vacuuming the floor. To finish, the crawl space was treated with a mould-control spray to help prevent mould growth and keep the space clean and healthy.
This project focused on fully sealing, insulating, and reinforcing the crawl space. The team began by cleaning the area, wiping down ducts, removing debris, and applying a mould control treatment to all wood surfaces for a healthier environment. A drainage mat and CleanSpace liner were installed and carefully sealed around piers, walls, and footings to protect against moisture and improve overall air quality.
The piers were wrapped, and new insulation was added to the walls, rim joists, and both customer-installed doors. All seams were sealed to prevent drafts and humidity. Wire mesh was installed where needed for added protection.
To stabilize the structure, steel base jacks were installed along with a joist stabilizer to support sagging or weakened floor sections. This upgrade ensures long-term strength, moisture protection, and improved comfort throughout the home.

This project was all about making the crawl space drier, healthier, and more comfortable. We installed a dehumidifier and air purification system to help control humidity and reduce damp conditions that can lead to mould and musty odors. The system drains safely into the existing plumbing and is supported on a stand for proper performance.
All wood surfaces were treated to help prevent mould growth, and the old fiberglass insulation along the exterior rim joist and wall framing was removed and disposed of. New wall insulation was installed and carefully sealed to reduce drafts and improve energy efficiency.
In the end, the crawl space is now cleaner, drier, and better insulated, helping protect the home and giving the homeowners greater comfort and peace of mind.
