Crawl Space Drainage, Pump Replacement, and Encapsulation in Kelowna, BC

This project focused on improving water management, sealing the crawl space, and upgrading insulation for better long-term protection. We started by removing the old sump pump and cleaning out the sump pit, then installing a new, more reliable pump to ensure proper water removal. Old plastic piping was removed and disposed of, and the sump lid was secured with new bolts for a tighter seal.

Next, we refreshed the crawl space liner by cleaning the existing material, removing any organic debris, and resealing the top edge along the wall to maintain an airtight barrier. A new drainage layer was installed across the floor and up the walls to help manage ground moisture. Over this, a new liner was installed, extended up the walls, and securely fastened and sealed for added protection.

To improve energy efficiency, new insulation was added to the rim joist area to reduce heat loss and drafts.

Overall, this work helps keep the crawl space dry, clean, and well-sealed, protecting the home from moisture issues while improving comfort and durability for the homeowners.
