-A cleanspace vapor Barrier was installed to help with the musty smell and to help control a highly humid crawlspace
-A drain Mat was installed to help protect the vapor barrier, which will also allow water to pass under de liner
-A dehumidifier was installed to help control air quality and humidity
We encapsulated the crawl space by sealing it at all interior footings, piers, and along the top edge of the foundation walls to prevent moisture intrusion. A drainage mat was installed beneath the liner and extended 6 inches up the walls to help manage ground seepage and add durability to the surface. We repaired a foundation crack by injecting it with polyurethane resin under high pressure and reinforcing the area with a structural weave, providing a flexible and long-lasting seal. We installed a dehumidifier and air purifier system to maintain healthy humidity levels.
Installation of our Smart Sump Pump System with Cleanspace and R13 Rigid Board Insulation,
This project focused on deep cleaning and sanitizing the crawl space. The team wiped down heating ducts and sewer lines, removed spider webs, cleared loose debris from the floor, and vacuumed the entire area. All concrete surfaces were then disinfected with a germicidal treatment to eliminate any traces of rodent activity, leaving the space clean, safe, and refreshed.
We start by installing a strong moisture barrier in your crawl space, and carefully sealing it around the footings, piers, and foundation walls to keep moisture out. If there’s insulation, we make sure the barrier fits snugly in front of it for maximum protection. We also wrap the bottoms of the piers to prevent moisture buildup.
To help manage any water seepage, we add a durable drainage mat underneath the moisture barrier and up the walls, giving the space a rougher surface that’s great for storing items and adding long-lasting durability. Any old, rotted 2x4 supports are replaced to ensure your structure is stable.
Next, we install high-quality, foil-faced insulation along the walls, sealing all the seams so no air or moisture can get through. We also treat all wood surfaces with a specialized mould prevention solution to keep your crawl space fresh and healthy. Finally, we remove old insulation from the floor joist area, making sure everything stays clean and dry.
This comprehensive approach keeps your crawl space dry, energy-efficient, and protected, creating a healthier environment for your home.
