This crawl space had a few serious issues, from water leaks and damaged wood to poor air quality. We started by installing a dependable sump pump system with a battery backup, so it can keep working even if the power goes out. Then, we repaired a crack in the foundation and replaced rotten wood, making sure everything is sealed tight and safe.
To keep moisture out for good, we fully sealed and lined the space, added drainage matting for extra protection and comfort, and treated the wood to stop mould in its tracks.
We also installed insulation on the walls to help keep the home more energy-efficient. Now, this crawl space is clean, dry, and ready to support a healthier, more comfortable home.
We take a comprehensive approach to keeping your crawl space dry, insulated, and protected. First, we install a durable drainage mat across the floor and partway up the walls to help prevent moisture from seeping in while also making the surface sturdier for storage. Next, we add high-quality insulation along the rim joists to improve energy efficiency and keep your home more comfortable. To ensure a healthier environment, we treat all wood surfaces with a specialized mold prevention solution. Finally, we securely fasten and seal a heavy-duty moisture barrier to the footings, piers, and foundation walls, creating a fully encapsulated space that helps control humidity, prevent mould, and protect your home from moisture-related damage.
This project focused on sealing and insulating the crawl space to create a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient environment. The team installed a durable liner system throughout the crawl space, carefully fastening and sealing it around footings, piers, and along the foundation walls to block out moisture and air leaks.
To further improve energy efficiency, new insulated wall panels were added to all exterior walls. Each panel was tightly sealed with foil tape and spray foam to prevent drafts and moisture intrusion. The result is a well-protected crawl space that helps maintain consistent temperatures and supports a healthier home overall.
-A cleanspace vapor Barrier was installed to help with the musty smell and to help control a highly humid crawlspace
-A drain Mat was installed to help protect the vapor barrier, which will also allow water to pass under de liner
-A dehumidifier was installed to help control air quality and humidity
We encapsulated the crawl space by sealing it at all interior footings, piers, and along the top edge of the foundation walls to prevent moisture intrusion. A drainage mat was installed beneath the liner and extended 6 inches up the walls to help manage ground seepage and add durability to the surface. We repaired a foundation crack by injecting it with polyurethane resin under high pressure and reinforcing the area with a structural weave, providing a flexible and long-lasting seal. We installed a dehumidifier and air purifier system to maintain healthy humidity levels.
