Before:
The home was built with a 5’ crawl space using block foundation and a dirt floor. It was tidy and well built, but still humid for most of the year. Over time the musty smell began to travel through the entire house.
After
Advanced Basement Systems installed their Clean Space encapsulation system and used spray foam insulation on the walls. The encapsulation will provide a vapour barrier from the dirt below and the spray foam will insulation will seal the system to not allow the air to pass through. The spray foam will add much needed insulation to the space and help maintain comfortable temperatures all year long.
If your crawl space has exposed dirt floors, give Advanced Basement Systems a call for an inspection!
Before:
Do you see signs of excess humidity in your crawl space? Rusted ductwork or metal is a clear sign!
After:
The home was showing clear signs the dirt crawl space had high humidity. The humidity creates a situation that leads to rust, mould growth and structural problems in the wood. Advanced Basement Systems installed Clean Space encapsulation to enclose the crawl space and prevent moisture from entering the space. The full system including a dehumidifier and spray foam will continue to protect the home for years to come.
Call Advanced Basement Systems if you have rust on the structures or or heating components in your basement or crawl space.
Before:
An unfinished dirt floor crawl space with no insulation on the walls can result in cold floors in the winter and higher humidity in the summer. This condition could impact the structure of the home and more energy use to condition the air.
After:
Advanced Basement Systems installed their Clean Space encapsulation system to seal in the area away from the dirt. When spray foam insulation is added up the walls and into the header, the result will give the home owners warmer floors, lower energy bills and provide a much healthier home.
If your floors are cold in the winter and home is humid in the summer you may have a crawl space issue. Give Advanced Basement Systems a call to schedule an inspection and quote for repairs!

This dirt crawl space in Goderich, ON was in need of some help! Our team was able to encapsulate, insulate, dehumidify and clean up this space. It's now dry and clean, helping this entire home to be more healthy in the air its owners breathe.
We also installed DC315 thermal barrier over the spray foam, which gives the foam that bright white look.
