Before and After of a Waterguard Installation in Chilliwack BC.
We completed a crawl space project in an area with limited access due to a tree stump near the entrance. Although the space was tight, we were able to install a moisture barrier and insulation in the areas we could safely reach. The crawl space measures approximately 19 feet by 30 feet, and we worked as thoroughly as possible within the accessible sections to help improve comfort, energy efficiency, and overall protection under the home.
We recently completed a job to help fix and support a sagging floor in a home. The floor above the crawl space had started to dip in certain areas, so we installed strong steel supports underneath to help lift and hold it in place.
These supports were set on solid bases to make sure everything stays stable over time. Now, the floor is much more level and secure, giving the homeowner peace of mind and improving the overall safety and structure of the house.
We transformed the crawl space by installing a thick plastic liner to protect it from moisture and mould. This liner was securely fastened to the foundation and walls. We also added a special door to seal it off, and installed insulation to keep the home warmer and more energy-efficient. All gaps were carefully sealed to prevent air leaks
We start by clearing out the crawl space, removing any debris, old insulation, and the worn-out vapor barrier to create a clean slate. To keep moisture at bay, we lay down a drainage mat and secure a tough, protective moisture barrier across the floor, footings, and walls. Next, we upgrade the insulation along the walls and rim joists, sealing any gaps to boost energy efficiency. A new insulated crawl space door is installed for better access and added protection. To prevent mold, we treat all wood surfaces with a specialized solution and install a dehumidifier to keep humidity levels in check. A drainage system is also set up to handle excess moisture. Finally, we reinforce the structure by installing adjustable support jacks to stabilize the floor joists. The end result? A cleaner, drier, and stronger crawl space that improves air quality, insulation, and the overall durability of your home.
