Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

This project focused on making the crawl space drier, cleaner, and more energy-efficient. We installed a full liner system and sealed it carefully around footings, piers, and along the foundation walls to help keep moisture and outside air out. A drainage layer was added underneath and extended up the walls to help manage ground moisture and improve durability.

New insulation was installed along the walls and in the rim joist areas, with all seams sealed to reduce drafts and prevent moisture issues. Old materials were removed and properly disposed of as part of the process.

Overall, these upgrades help protect the crawl space from moisture, improve comfort, and support a healthier home environment.

We installed a heavy-duty SmartJack to support the floor and stop it from sagging. There was a cracked wood beam, so we fixed it by attaching two new boards on each side to make it solid again. Then we added a strong laminated beam to help carry the weight and keep everything safe and stable.

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 project focused on transforming the crawl space into a cleaner, drier, and more functional space. We began by removing old fiberglass insulation, construction debris, and loose materials, while cleaning ducts, sewer lines, and other surfaces to improve the overall condition of the area.

A durable moisture barrier was installed and carefully sealed around the footings, piers, and foundation walls. A drainage layer was placed beneath the liner to help manage ground moisture and provide long-lasting protection.

To improve accessibility, the crawl space entrance and the path to the furnace were regraded, making future filter changes and furnace maintenance much easier and safer. A new insulated crawl space door was also installed to better seal the access point.

Finally, new insulation was installed along the foundation walls and rim joist areas to help reduce drafts, improve energy efficiency, and create a more comfortable home.

The result is a cleaner, drier, better-insulated crawl space that's easier to access and built to provide long-term protection and peace of mind.

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.
