We started by adding a drainage system to capture any water before it becomes a problem. To keep the crawl space protected, we installed a reliable pump system with an airtight lid and alarm for extra peace of mind. We also included a backup battery system, so even during a power outage the space stays dry and protected. Outside, we set up a discharge line to safely carry water away from the home. At the end of the line, we added a discreet outlet that blends in with the yard and an overflow protection feature to prevent flooding in case the line ever gets clogged or frozen.
This job requires the installation of a complete waterproofing system. The system includes the installation of drain tiles to manage water flow, a drain mat to protect the foundation, and a super sump system with a backup to ensure efficient water removal, even during power outages. This comprehensive system is designed to keep the basement dry and free from water damage.
We transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthy area. First, we sealed off the entire space to keep out moisture from the ground and walls, making sure everything was properly fastened and airtight. To help with drainage and add durability, we laid down a protective layer beneath the liner. We also took care of rodent prevention by sealing up the overhangs with wire mesh and insulating the areas to keep the space warmer. The entire crawl space was thoroughly cleaned, old insulation was removed, rodent droppings were hepa vacuumed, and all surfaces were treated for mould and bacteria. We wiped down heating ducts, sewer lines, and got rid of spider webs to leave everything fresh. To keep the space dry long-term, we installed a dehumidifier that helps control humidity levels. Lastly, we added high-quality insulation to the walls and rim joists, sealing up all the seams to boost energy efficiency and ensure the space stays in great shape moving forward.
The client was looking to have some or all of my crawlspace thoroughly cleaned and set up for a more accessible arrangement of storage shelves.
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.
