One Crawl Space, Many Problems in Windsor, ON
Problem: These homeowners were experiencing many problems with their home as a result of a poor crawl space environment.
- Sloping floors as a result of shifting supports
- The wet crawl space created a musty, damp smell in their house
- Mould forming on the wood beams as a result of the high humidity
- Cold floors in the winter months and high energy costs
Solution: This was a big job, involving many important components and we were up for the task!
Our team:
- Encapsulating the space with our Clean Space® Vapour Barrier.
- Installed new SmartJack® Crawl Space Support Beam Stabilizers.
- Replaced a failing support beam.
- We sealed the exterior vents and added Spray Foam Insulation to some exterior walls.
- Installed our super quiet, efficient and nearly maintenance-free SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier.
This transformation is another example of how our products work together for a smart solution to crawl space challenges.

Problematic Crawl Space
After a thorough inspection, we created a plan to permanently solve this challenging crawl space.
Our team installed:
- A new beam
- SmartJack support jacks
- A CleanSpace liner and vent covers, completely sealing the space from the outside environment
- PolarFoam insulation, to help improve the comfort and efficiency of the home
- A nearly maintenance free and very efficient dehumidifier which drains directly into the crawl space sump pump
Our products and services are designed to work together for a long-lasting solution. Now, these happy owners have taken care of the effects of an unhealthy crawl space; they can better enjoy their home. We are so pleased they chose Advanced Basement Systems!
Crawl Space Repair in Windsor, ON
This home was inspected by Cory Lahey. He saw the home needed help in a variety of areas within the crawl space. Our crew went out and installed products to allow this homeowner the ability to have a safe, dry and comfortable crawl space area.
Creating a Dry and Sealed Crawl Space Windsor, ON
Problem: This home’s crawl space was damp and musty. Through what is known as The Stack Effect, this undesirable air made its way into the home, resulting in musty, damp and mouldy smells. Some of the fibreglass insulation on the exterior walls was wet and had lost its insulating properties.
Solution: We improved the drainage in the space and encapsulated the dirt floor with our heavy duty CleanSpace crawl space vapour barrier. Our team also added mould and mildew proof SprayFoam Insulation on the exterior walls and also as a sealant on the vapour barrier.
Tight Crawl Space Project Windsor, ON
Problem: This tight and musty area under the home was starting to cause mould growth on the wood supports. Wood is everywhere inside a home and if it begins to rot due to high humidity and moisture, it can be a very costly repiar. We needed to get to work here right away!
Solution: We cleaned out all the debris of this small space. Then we installed our Clean Space Encapsulation System (the white liner). Once that was installed, our crew came in and spray foam insulated the headers (above the foundation wall where a lot of air leaks get in). The space is now safe and healthy.
