Crawlspace encapsulation in Abbotsford

 

 

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

Transforming a crawl space for a healthier home

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.

Goodbye Damp, Hello Dry: A Crawl Space Makeover

The homeowner was dealing with a damp, musty crawl space that was causing moisture problems, energy loss, and potential foundation damage. We got to work by sealing the space to keep moisture out and prevent any more seepage. We also took care of the foundation cracks, making sure no water could get in and reinforcing the structure for added protection. The old sump pump was swapped out for a more reliable system, designed to prevent flooding and handle drainage efficiently. To boost energy efficiency, we added insulation and sealed up any gaps to keep things dry and comfortable. Finally, we gave the space a good cleaning, removing debris and dust from ducts and utility lines. The result? A dry, clean, and protected crawl space that gives the homeowner peace of mind and extra storage space without the worry of moisture or damage.

Foundation repair with Carbon fiber

We’ve repaired the foundation to keep water out and ensure long-term stability. First, we seal pipe penetrations with durable resin and smooth them with concrete for a clean, watertight finish. Next, we fixed cracks inside the crawl space by injecting flexible resin to stop leaks, then reinforced them with carbon fiber for added strength. Finally, we address exterior foundation cracks by filling them with epoxy to bond the concrete and applying carbon fiber for structural reinforcement. These steps protect the home from water damage while strengthening its foundation.

From damp & musty to clean & dry: A crawl space transformation

When a homeowner noticed a musty smell and excess moisture in their crawl space, they knew it was time for a solution. Worried about potential mould and damage, they reached out to us for help. We installed a dehumidifier to keep humidity in check and treated the wood surfaces with a mould prevention solution. To ensure proper drainage, we added a condensate pump. For better insulation and energy efficiency, we installed moisture resistant foam board. Finally, we encapsulated the space with a durable vapor barrier and drainage matting to lock out moisture for good. Now, their crawl space is dry, fresh, and protected, giving them peace of mind and a healthier home.
