Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

We fully restored this crawl space to make it clean, dry, and energy-efficient. The entire area was sealed off with a durable liner, carefully fastened and air-sealed around the footings, piers, and foundation walls to prevent moisture from entering. A drainage layer was added underneath and up along the edges of the walls to protect against ground seepage and make the surface more comfortable and durable for storage. To control humidity levels long-term, we installed a high-performance dehumidifier and air purifier system. We also replaced the old wall and rim joist insulation with new moisture-resistant insulation, making sure all seams were tightly sealed to boost energy efficiency and prevent drafts. The outdated and damaged insulation was removed, bagged, and properly disposed of, leaving the space fresh, dry, and well-protected.

A damp crawl space can lead to musty odors, mould, and even structural issues. That’s why we fully seal and protect the area by securely fastening and air-sealing a durable moisture barrier at footings, piers, and foundation walls. If insulation is present, the barrier extends 6” in front of it for complete coverage.

To further protect your home, we add a drainage layer beneath the barrier, extending slightly up the exterior walls. This prevents ground seepage, improves durability, and creates a cleaner, healthier space & perfect for storage and peace of mind.

The task involves installing a CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system in a specific area as indicated on a drawing, following the guidelines provided by the manufacturer. The installation includes securely attaching and sealing the system at the interior footings and piers (support structures) to ensure it is tightly in place. Additionally, it requires fastening and air sealing near the top edge of the foundation walls, unless there is already insulation in that location. The goal of this job was to create an effective barrier that covers and seals the crawl space, providing protection and potentially improving energy efficiency in the enclosed area.

To create a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient crawl space, we’ll begin by removing debris and installing a durable encapsulation system. The liner will securely seal around footings, piers, and foundation walls. If insulation is present, the liner will extend slightly over it for a tight seal. A drainage mat will be added to manage moisture and improve durability. Insulated wall panels will be installed with sealed seams to prevent moisture and odors. Lastly, we’ll spread drain rock for added protection and install wire mesh over openings.
