A Healthy, Usable Crawl Space in Wallaceburg, ON
Problem: Even with a nice layer of clean gravel, this crawl space still has the effects of a typical unsealed crawl space.
Humid air and water vapour enter a home through the porous foundation, crawl space vents and up from the dirt floor of the crawl space; resulting in a damp crawl space, musty odors and an unhealthy environment throughout the entire home.
Solution: Wow – what a difference!
Our team installed the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier: a super durable 20-mil poly-reinforced liner. Now this clean and dry crawl space is a usable storage area and a healthier environment!

Crawl Space Makeover in Chatham, ON
Problem: This crawl space was very humid and full of condensation. Also as you can see it flooded.
Solution: We installed sufficient drainage with a sump pump that discharges outside. The Clean Space vapor barrier was installed to isolate the home from the earth, making it a dry & healthy space.

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Kent County, ON
Although this crawl space was very clean with little evidence of pests and no standing water, the unencapsulated space still affected the home above by what is known as the stock effect. https://www.advancedbasementsystems.net/home-mold/stack-effect.html Resulting in problems such as:
-
Damp, musty smells
-
Higher than healthy levels of humidity
-
Less-than-desirable heating and cooling costs
The best method to remedy these problems is by completely sealing off the crawl space from the outside environment! Our Advanced Basement Systems team was happy to help these Chatham homeowners.
Sealing a Crawl Space Access in Erieau, ON
Challenge: Access doors or open vents in a crawl space is one of the areas where the outside environment enters and affects an entire home.
Solution: A sealed crawl space access is one of the many things we do when encapsulating a crawl space. We also installed a well for improved access and drainage.
Crawl Space Rehab in Kent County ON
Challenge: This crawl space could be described as “high and dry”... but the dirt floor and lack of insulation on the exterior walls made the home’s floor cold during the winter months.
Solution: We completely sealed the crawl space from the outside environment, and added spray foam insulation. Spray foam offers a high R-value, sealing air leaks and also serving as a moisture barrier.
