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.
What have we done in this house?
-Insulation was repaired to keep the house with minimal energy loss properly.
-Super Sump Pump was installed to help with water issues in the crawlspace
-Mould killer was sprayed to kill affected areas that were showing signs of mold
We completed a full crawl space repair to address moisture, drainage, and structural concerns. A sump pump system with a battery backup was installed to manage groundwater and prevent flooding, even during power outages. The entire space was encapsulated and sealed with drainage matting to protect against seepage and improve durability. We removed debris and old insulation and treated all surfaces for mold. A dehumidifier was installed to control humidity, and new moisture-resistant insulation was added to boost energy efficiency. Structurally, we stabilized floor joists with a steel jack system and replaced a 10-foot section of rotten sill plate and rim joist, supporting the area with a steel I-beam and new framing. We also redirected exterior water flow to a catch basin to keep the area dry. The result is a clean, dry, and stable space ready to protect the home for years.
Sump from today in Surrey, the drain backs up so we're connecting it into our sump and discharge out to a landscape
Addressing the rotten structure required replacing all damaged wood and redirecting the rain leader away from the house, as it was the main cause of the damage. Additionally, we replaced the old, malodorous fiberglass insulation with new silver airboard insulation.
