Before & After Photos

Before:

The living space in the home had high humidity and excessive heating costs. An unfinished crawl space with dirt floors and improper insulation will allow moisture into the home and cold to migrate from the outside.

After:

Advanced Basement Systems was called to encapsulate the crawl space and insulate the exterior walls up to the header with spray foam. This will prevent moisture from entering the area and insulate the space from the cold outside.

If your floors are cold and you have high energy bills, give Advanced Basement Systems a call!

This unsealed crawl space had very high humidity which was causing problems in this Dover Centre home. The issues in the crawl space were manifesting throughout the home: musty smells and drafty, cold floors in the winter.

Our team completely sealed the crawl space; now it’s healthy, clean, dry and efficient.

Problem:  This crawl space was damp – even wet in areas – and required improved drainage for a healthy, dry environment.

Solution: Our Advanced Basement crawl space specialist installed a sump pump specifically designed for the unique needs of a crawl space. Then our team encapsulated the entire crawl space with a CleanSpace liner which stops water vapour and humidity from entering the area, and keeps moisture levels acceptable and the crawl space nice and dry.

Challenge: When it comes to repairing crawl spaces, people usually reach out to us for one or a combination of the following reasons: 

• Musty, funky smells

• Excessive dampness or humidity in the home 

• High heating and cooling costs

• Structural problems (such as sloping floors)

• Cold floors

These homeowners in Port Lambton did not want to face another winter walking on icy cold floors in their home. The previous owners attempted to create a more efficient and comfortable home by installing rigid wall insulation to the exterior foundation walls and stuffing fibreglass insulation into the floor joists above… but these efforts are completely ineffective in an unsealed crawl space. 

Solution: Our team encapsulated the crawl space, completely sealing it off from the outside environment. We then applied spray foam insulation to the exterior walls. The Canadian product we use is Polarfoam7300, it seals air leaks, preventing intrusion and providing insulation. It adheres permanently to all materials, is waterproof and won’t degrade, compress, or lose its R-value as other insulation types can.
