Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The daycare facility experienced a water leakage issue, prompting the implementation of effective measures. Trench work was undertaken to divert and contain the water, complemented by the installation of a sump pump to efficiently eliminate excess water and ensure a dry and secure environment.

This project focused on improving the air quality, cleanliness, and energy efficiency of the crawl space. The team began by cleaning the area, wiping down heating ducts, removing spider webs, and clearing loose debris from the floor. All wood and organic surfaces were then treated with a mould control solution to ensure a healthy environment.

A new dehumidifier and air purifier system was installed to control humidity levels and improve overall air quality, helping prevent mould growth and musty odors. A dedicated electrical outlet was added to power the system safely and efficiently. Finally, insulated panels were installed along the rim joist and upper wall sections to enhance comfort, reduce energy loss, and provide long-term protection.

The drainage system will be connected to the existing rain leader to ensure proper water flow away from the foundation, helping to prevent pooling and moisture issues around the home.

For this project, we completely transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment. We started by removing old materials, including fiberglass insulation, rigid foam, and the existing vapor barrier. Heating ducts, sewer lines, and other surfaces were wiped down, spider webs cleared, and all debris safely disposed of.

Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with a heavy-duty liner, carefully sealed at the footings, piers, and along the foundation walls. Drainage matting was installed beneath the liner and extended up the walls to protect against ground seepage, while also adding durability and comfort for storage.

To improve sanitation, all concrete surfaces, the foundation walls, soil, and rim joist area were sprayed with a germicide to neutralize rodent urine. We then installed new foil-faced wall insulation, sealing all seams and gaps with spray foam and foil tape to create a tight, moisture-resistant barrier that does not absorb odors. Finally, insulation was added to the rim joists, providing for maximum energy efficiency.

The result is a healthier, better-protected crawl space that improves comfort, energy savings, and long-term home durability.

This project focused on solving several crawl space concerns at once, including water intrusion, cleanliness, insulation, and overall protection.

We started by cleaning the space, removing loose debris and spider webs, vacuuming the floor, and treating concrete surfaces, ducts, and the furnace in areas affected by rodent activity.

To address water issues, a new drainage system was installed to collect and direct water away. A foundation crack was also professionally injected, sealed, and flood-tested to confirm the leak had been stopped.

The crawl space was then fully sealed with a durable moisture barrier and drainage layer to help control ground seepage. New insulation was installed along the foundation walls and rim joist areas, while a sealed crawl space door and sump cover were added to create a tighter, more protected space.

The result is a cleaner, drier, and better-insulated crawl space with improved protection against water, moisture, and outside air.
