Turning a Damp, Rodent-Affected Crawl Space into a Clean, Dry Space in Vancouver

This crawl space needed some attention after signs of rodent activity and ongoing moisture concerns. We started with a thorough crawl space cleanup, removing rodent droppings, loose debris, and spider webs. The floor, walls, and accessible ductwork were HEPA vacuumed, and affected surfaces were treated to leave the area cleaner and more sanitary.

With the cleanup complete, we turned our attention to moisture. A drainage layer was installed across the floor to help manage water and moisture coming from the ground. We then covered the area with a durable crawl space moisture barrier, carefully sealing it around the foundation walls, footings, and support areas.

New crawl space insulation was also installed along the foundation walls and around the rim joists. Gaps and seams were sealed to help reduce drafts and keep the home more comfortable and energy efficient.

With the cleanup, moisture protection, and insulation upgrades complete, the homeowner now has a cleaner, drier, and better-protected crawl space beneath the home.
