Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

This project focused on turning the crawl space into a clean, dry, and well-protected area. We started with a detailed clean-up, wiping down ducts and sewer lines, removing debris and old materials, and vacuuming surfaces to eliminate dust and rodent droppings. All concrete areas were treated to address contamination and improve overall cleanliness.

A full crawl space liner was then installed and sealed tightly around footings, piers, and along the foundation walls, extending over key areas to create a continuous moisture barrier. A drainage layer was added beneath the liner and up the walls to help manage ground moisture and improve durability.

To complete the upgrade, new insulation was installed along the walls and in the rim joist areas, with all seams carefully sealed to reduce drafts and prevent moisture issues.

These improvements help keep the crawl space dry, cleaner, and more energy-efficient, while protecting the home from moisture and air quality concerns.

We began by adding a drainage layer under the liner that went across the floor and a few inches up the walls. This gave extra protection against ground moisture, while also making the space more comfortable to use and more durable overall.

After that, we sealed the crawl space with a liner that was carefully fastened and air-sealed around the footings, piers, and near the top of the foundation walls. Where insulation was already in place, we finished the liner neatly in front of it for a clean look.

We then tied the system into the existing plumbing stack and installed a pump system designed to protect the space from water issues. It included an airtight lid, a floor drain, a stand, and even an alarm for added peace of mind.

Finally, we improved the energy efficiency of the space by adding insulation along the walls and rim joists. All seams were sealed tight so no air could sneak through. This insulation is designed to resist moisture and odors, which means the crawl space will stay cleaner, drier, and more comfortable over time.

For this project, we turned the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthier area. We started by installing drainage matting on the floor and partway up the walls to protect against ground moisture and provide a durable surface for storage. We then treated all wood and organic surfaces to prevent mould growth and gave the space a thorough cleaning wiping down ducts, removing spider webs, and clearing loose debris.

To improve comfort and energy efficiency, we added rigid insulation to the walls and rim joists, sealing all seams and gaps to stop air leaks. Finally, we fully encapsulated the crawl space with a heavy-duty liner, fastening and sealing it to the walls, footings, and piers. This creates a sealed barrier that helps keep the area dry, insulated, and protected from moisture and energy loss.

The daycare facility experienced a water leakage issue, prompting the implementation of effective measures. Trench work was undertaken to divert and contain the water, complemented by the installation of a sump pump to efficiently eliminate excess water and ensure a dry and secure environment.

This project focused on improving the air quality, cleanliness, and energy efficiency of the crawl space. The team began by cleaning the area, wiping down heating ducts, removing spider webs, and clearing loose debris from the floor. All wood and organic surfaces were then treated with a mould control solution to ensure a healthy environment.

A new dehumidifier and air purifier system was installed to control humidity levels and improve overall air quality, helping prevent mould growth and musty odors. A dedicated electrical outlet was added to power the system safely and efficiently. Finally, insulated panels were installed along the rim joist and upper wall sections to enhance comfort, reduce energy loss, and provide long-term protection.
