Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

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.

To help improve drainage around the home, we drilled a clean opening through the foundation wall and connected our system to the existing rainwater drainpipe. This setup helps direct water away from the house, reducing the risk of pooling, leaks, or foundation damage. Everything was sealed properly to ensure a smooth and reliable connection.

For this project, we completed a full crawl space encapsulation to help protect the home from moisture, improve air quality, and create a cleaner, more usable space.

We began by sealing and securing a heavy-duty moisture barrier along the floor and up the walls of the crawl space, following manufacturer guidelines. A special drainage mat was also installed underneath to help with any ground moisture and add durability for storage use.

We repaired a wall crack by injecting a waterproofing material deep into the wall and finishing it with a flexible sealant system for added protection. The area was then cleaned and vacuumed, and any wall insulation that had to be removed was reinstalled. 

To address any existing mould, we applied a mould treatment to all exposed wood and organic surfaces in the crawl space. We also wiped down heating ducts, cleaned off sewer lines, and removed spider webs and loose debris from the floor.

Lastly, we installed new foil-faced insulation on the walls, which helps keep the crawl space energy efficient and prevents moisture or odor absorption. All seams and gaps were properly sealed to ensure a tight, protective finish.

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.

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.
