Crawlspace insulation and vapour barrier upgrade.  R 13.3 Insulation and our 20 MM Cleanspace Vapour Barrier.  

Installation of our Smart Sump Pump System with Cleanspace and R13 Rigid Board Insulation,

We start by installing a strong moisture barrier in your crawl space, and carefully sealing it around the footings, piers, and foundation walls to keep moisture out. If there’s insulation, we make sure the barrier fits snugly in front of it for maximum protection. We also wrap the bottoms of the piers to prevent moisture buildup.

To help manage any water seepage, we add a durable drainage mat underneath the moisture barrier and up the walls, giving the space a rougher surface that’s great for storing items and adding long-lasting durability. Any old, rotted 2x4 supports are replaced to ensure your structure is stable.

Next, we install high-quality, foil-faced insulation along the walls, sealing all the seams so no air or moisture can get through. We also treat all wood surfaces with a specialized mould prevention solution to keep your crawl space fresh and healthy. Finally, we remove old insulation from the floor joist area, making sure everything stays clean and dry.

This comprehensive approach keeps your crawl space dry, energy-efficient, and protected, creating a healthier environment for your home.

We recently finished a full crawl space makeover to help make this area cleaner, drier, and better protected for the long term. First, we installed a heavy duty liner system to seal off the space and keep out moisture, making sure everything was tightly secured around the walls, footings, and insulation. To help with drainage and make the ground more comfortable for storage, we laid down a special mat under the liner and brought it up along the lower walls. We also added insulation around the rim of the crawl space to help improve energy efficiency. Next, we treated all the wooden and organic surfaces to prevent mold, gave the space a good cleaning including wiping down the tops of heating ducts and pipes, clearing out spider webs, and removing any loose debris. We also repaired a crack in the foundation by injecting it with a flexible sealant and reinforcing it with a strong material to keep it stable and dry.

Clean-up (fiberglass removal) and replaced with air board rigid insulation, installation of drain mat with cleanspace vapour barrier, replace rotten base plate structural wall with new wood.
