Improved crawl space for a healthier home

We begin by removing the old liner and installing a strong moisture barrier that’s securely sealed around the footings, piers, and foundation walls. If there’s insulation already in place, we make sure the barrier fits properly in front of it for extra protection.

Next, we install a drainage mat under the barrier and up the walls to prevent moisture from seeping in. This also makes the space more durable and comfortable for storage.

We then add high-quality insulation along the rim joists to improve energy efficiency and replace any old or damaged support beams. We also clean up the space by removing old wood and large pieces of concrete around the fireplace.

To make the crawl space more accessible and better protected, we installed an insulated crawl space door with a seal. Finally, we add more wall insulation and seal all gaps to ensure no moisture or odors can get in.

 

 

Crawl Space Insulation, Cleaning & Rodent Protection

For this project, we focused on improving energy efficiency, cleanliness, and pest prevention in the crawl space. We began by installing new insulation in the rim joist area and over all vents. The insulation was carefully sealed around the edges with spray foam to create an airtight barrier, helping reduce drafts and energy loss.

To prevent rodent entry, wire mesh was installed over any gaps or openings, including between the crawl space and the slab on grade, as well as inside all vents. These areas were then insulated with rigid foam for extra protection.

Next, we sprayed all concrete surfaces with a germicide to neutralize rodent urine and improve overall sanitation. The heating ducts and sewer lines were wiped down, spider webs and loose debris were removed, and stored items were cleared out. Finally, a HEPA vacuum was used on the crawl space floor to safely remove rodent droppings and leave the area clean.

 

The result is a crawl space that is cleaner, healthier, and better protected against pests while improving the home’s comfort and efficiency.

Crawl Space Cleaning, Pest Prevention, and Insulation Upgrade in North Vancouver

This project focused on cleaning, sanitizing, and protecting the crawl space while improving energy efficiency. The area was thoroughly cleaned by wiping down ducts and sewer lines, removing debris, and vacuuming the floor to eliminate dirt and rodent droppings. All concrete surfaces were then treated with a disinfectant to neutralize any contamination from rodent urine.

 

To help prevent future pest issues, wire mesh was installed at any potential or existing entry points. A new insulated crawl space access door was also installed to create a tighter seal and improve security. Finally, the rim joist area was insulated to reduce heat loss, improve comfort, and help keep moisture and drafts out.

 

These upgrades help create a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient crawl space while protecting the home from pests and long-term damage.

Turning a Damp, Musty Crawl Space into a Clean, Dry Space

A homeowner was struggling with a damp, musty crawl space that felt unhealthy and at risk for flooding. To fix the problem, we installed a SmartSump Pump System to keep water out and ensure the space stayed dry. Then, we sealed the entire area with a CleanSpace Encapsulation System, creating a barrier against moisture and protecting the foundation. We also added drainage matting under the liner to prevent seepage and make the space more durable.

 

Before sealing everything up, we gave the crawl space a thorough cleaning, wiping down ducts, removing debris, and disposing of the old vapor barrier. To maintain a healthy environment, we installed a dehumidifier and air purifier to control humidity and improve air quality. Finally, we added vent covers to block outside moisture. Now, the homeowner has a clean, dry, and energy-efficient crawl space—free from musty odors and moisture worries!
