Clean-up (fiberglass removal) and replaced with air board rigid insulation, installation of drain mat with cleanspace vapour barrier, replace rotten base plate structural wall with new wood.
This work was important to protect the home, improve energy efficiency, and maintain a healthier living environment. Cleaning the crawl space helps reduce moisture, dust, and pest activity, while sealing entry points with wire mesh prevents rodents from causing damage or health issues.
Insulating the rim joist area reduces heat loss, improves comfort, and helps lower energy bills. It also minimizes condensation that can lead to mould or wood damage. Overall, these upgrades help keep the home warmer, cleaner, and better protected, giving homeowners long-term peace of mind.
This project focused on improving the crawl space by reducing humidity, enhancing air quality, and increasing energy efficiency. We began by cleaning the space, wiping down heating ducts and sewer lines, removing spider webs, and clearing away loose debris. Old insulation was also removed and properly disposed of.
All wood surfaces were treated to help prevent mould growth, creating a healthier environment beneath the home. A dehumidifier was then installed on a dedicated stand, with a new electrical outlet added to ensure reliable operation and maintain healthy humidity levels year-round.
To complete the upgrade, new insulation was installed in the rim joist areas to reduce drafts, improve energy efficiency, and help keep the home more comfortable.
The result is a cleaner, healthier, and better-insulated crawl space that supports improved air quality, lower moisture levels, and greater comfort throughout the home.
This project focused on improving the health and energy efficiency of the crawl space. All wood and organic surfaces were treated with a mould-control solution to help prevent mould growth and improve air quality.
New wall insulation was installed over the existing rigid foam, with all seams and edges carefully sealed to block air leaks and moisture. The old insulation in the rim joist area was removed and properly disposed of, then replaced with new insulation to improve comfort and reduce heat loss.
These upgrades help keep the crawl space cleaner, drier, and better insulated, supporting a healthier home overall.
What have we done in this house?
-Insulation was repaired to keep the house with minimal energy loss properly.
-Super Sump Pump was installed to help with water issues in the crawlspace
-Mould killer was sprayed to kill affected areas that were showing signs of mold
