Before & After Photos

Problem: This crawl space needed help! All of the incorrectly installed insulation is falling everywhere. The damp earth is causing wood-rot and energy loss is high.

Solution: We cleaned out all the old insulation and debris. Then, we encapsulated the earth with our CleanSpace product which gives the space a beautiful white finish. At the end, we insulated the walls with spray foam. What a transformation!

Problem: This multi-level dirt floor crawl space was a challenge successfully met by our crew! The open vents were resulting in cold floors during the winter. In the summer the crawl space was damp and musty; the foul odour affected the entire home.

Solution:  We sealed off the open vents and installed a CleanSpace liner vapour barrier system; which totally encapsulates the crawl space. Our crew also applied moisture-resistant spray foam insulation to help make the home more energy efficient.

This crawl space had no perimeter wall insulation nor any humidity control. We encapsulated the dirt floor, isolating the home from the earth. From there, we installed a sump pump and back-up system to capture groundwater from the footing drain. Then, our Sani Dry Air System was placed to take care of conditioning the air. 

Finally, our spray foam crew sealed all outside air leaks with closed cell insulation on the walls and up into the headers. Great job team!

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!

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.
