Protecting the Crawl Space from the Ground Up in Vancouver

This project focused on creating a cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient crawl space. The area was first cleaned by wiping down heating ducts and sewer lines, removing spider webs, and clearing away loose debris.

A durable moisture barrier was then installed and carefully sealed around the footings, piers, and foundation walls to help keep moisture and outside air out. Beneath the liner, a drainage layer was added to help manage ground seepage and provide long-lasting protection.

To improve comfort and energy efficiency, new insulation was installed along the foundation walls and in the rim joist areas. All seams and gaps were carefully sealed to help reduce drafts and resist moisture.

The result is a well-protected crawl space that helps control moisture, improve energy efficiency, and create a healthier environment beneath the home.
