Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

We cleaned the crawlspace, upgraded the insulation, and eliminated the damp environment 

Basement Systems of Vancouver helped this Surrey home owner make their home more comfortable and safe by encapsulating their crawlspace with Cleanspace and by insulating the walls with Silverglo

We just wrapped up a crawl space project focused on strengthening the floor and improving air quality. To support and stabilize the floor above, we installed a new support system and added extra beams and joists where needed to reinforce weak spots. This helps prevent sagging and keeps the structure solid for the long run.

We also gave the crawl space a full cleanup—wiping down the tops of ducts and pipes, removing spider webs, clearing out loose debris, and vacuuming the floor. Old insulation around the rim was removed and replaced with new, energy-efficient material.

To help with moisture control, we installed a dehumidifier and air purifier, which will keep the air drier and healthier. We also treated all the wood surfaces to prevent mold and made sure everything was sealed up properly. A new drainage pump and plumbing system were added, and the area was prepped for electrical work if needed.

We recently helped a homeowner completely refresh their crawl space, turning it from a damp, messy area into a clean, dry, and usable space.

The floor used to be bare dirt, so we started by adding a drainage system and a reliable sump pump to keep water out even during power outages, thanks to a battery backup. We also added ventilation to improve air quality and help control moisture.

To seal everything up, we installed a heavy-duty liner across the entire floor and walls, making the space feel much cleaner and more secure. Underneath that, we added a layer that helps with comfort and protects against ground moisture—perfect if they ever want to use the space for storage. We gave the area a deep clean, removed the old vapor barrier, got rid of spider webs, and treated the concrete for any lingering smells. We even wiped down the heating ducts and sewer lines. To make sure the crawl space stays warm and energy efficient, we added solid insulation to the walls and sealed everything tightly. We also checked for any small gaps or cracks and sealed them up with mesh to help keep pests out.

Since access was tricky, we created a custom hatch through a closet to make getting in and out easier in the future.

Now the crawl space is dry, insulated, and so much healthier, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a better home environment.

Crawlspace would flood with a high humidity level. 

We added a drainage system to control the water with a sump pump and a battery backup pump. 

After the drainage system was added, we did a vapour barrier system and insulation to control the humidity level.
