Before & After Photos

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.

Problem: These home owners contacted Advanced Basement Systems to improve their crawl space environment. The crawl space had several problems:

-        Wet and damp

-        Mould growth on wood

-        Failing beams

-        Wet, ineffective insulation

-        Poor supports

-        Excess debris

Solution: Our crawl space specialists:

-        Cleaned out the debris

-        Replaced beams

-        Cleaned the mould

-        Installed Smart Jacks

-        Encapsulated the crawl space, sealing it from the outside environment

All our products work together to create a clean, healthy and dry crawl space. It’s hard to believe it’s the same space – what a transformation!

Problem: This crawl space needed new support columns, an encapsulation system and a new access. The floors were saggy and the crawl space itself was in awful condition.

Solution: Install new supports to hold up the floors in the home. Put a sump pump in to relieve hydrostatic pressure beneath the ground and install a Turtl (crawl space access- see Photo Gallery). We cleaned out all organic material and the old insulation and encapsulated with our 20mm Clean Space.

Problem:  These homeowners were experiencing the negative affects of a damp, musty crawl space throughout their entire home.

Solution: We sealed the vents, updated their existing sump pump and encapsulated the entire crawl space. Our CleanSpace Liner stops moisture from passing through the dirt floor and porous concrete walls.

Now the homeowners are enjoying a healthier home!

A vapour barrier or an encapsulation system, is crucial in a dirt floor crawl space. Isolating the home from the earth is 1 step of 4 in fixing the issue! The barrier needs to be engineered to sit on dirt and not breakdown and become brittle.
