Before & After Photos

Problem: The home had a high moisture content in the crawl space. The exposed earth allowed year-round humidity to cause severe damage to the wood beam.

Solution: Install new support columns to hold up the reinforced beam, along with the Clean Space vapour barrier to seal off the home from the earth and finally a high-performance dehumidifier to allow the space to be conditioned and healthy.

Problem: The dirt floor crawl space was creating a damp and musty environment in this home. This homeowner required some debris to be removed from the crawl space. The homeowner also had the problem of cold floors above the crawl space as there was not enough insulation.

Solution: We installed a Clean Space liner to help with humidity and moisture in the crawl space and included Spray Foam insulation. Now the homeowner enjoys the benefits of a dry and comfortable crawl space area: less humidity in the home, eliminating musty odours and improved heating and cooling performance.

Problem: The homeowner needed to seal up an unused crawl space access door to improve the crawl space environment.

Solution: We installed and permanently sealed an EverLast crawl space access door. Sealing up all crawl space access areas is important to keep a home’s relative humidity low and a part of having ideal conditions in the crawl space.

Problem:  This older home had a problem with water penetrating a wall in their basement for years. This area in the basement flooded during times of rainfall, creating a damp, musty environment which often damaged their stored items.

Solution:  Our crew dug and installed a French drain system, waterproofed the problem wall and sealed it; altogether this system will keep this basement dry. Our drainage systems come with a written transferable lifetime warranty. On this project, like most projects, our installation crew installed a drain and sump pump system in less than two days.

Problem:  These homeowners had two walls that leaked nearly every time it rained. Because their basement was unfinished, and this area used just for storage, they never really paid too much attention to the wet basement.

However, over time the family was annoyed and embarrassed by the constant musty smell which was throughout their entire home. They also had to be careful not to leave any items of importance in this area, as they would be damaged by leaking water whenever it rained.

Solution: We were happy to provide this family with a permanent solution to their wet, musty basement! We installed a perimeter drain along the leaking walls which will direct any leaking water into their new, efficient and powerful sump pump system. We finished it off with ThermalDry® Basement Radiant Wall Barrier which not only keeps the basement warmer in the winter, it is inorganic (mould and mildew resistant) and helps direct water into the newly installed perimeter drain.
