For this project, we transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthier environment. Our work included fully sealing the area, insulating the walls, and protecting the space from outside moisture. We also added drainage protection to help with ground seepage, cleaned and prepped the space by removing debris and spider webs, and installed a dehumidifier to control humidity levels. In addition, we insulated the rim joists and stud walls for improved energy efficiency. Altogether, these steps make the crawl space more durable, comfortable, and better protected for the long term.
This project focused on cleaning up the crawl space and addressing areas affected by rodent activity. We started by carefully removing and disposing of the old fiberglass insulation from the floor joists, rim joists, and foundation walls. Removing this material helps clear out insulation that may have collected dirt, odours, or contamination over time.
Once the old insulation was removed, the concrete surfaces, dirt floor, and tops of the ductwork were thoroughly treated with a specialized cleaning solution designed for areas affected by rodent urine. This step helps sanitize the space, reduce lingering odours, and create a cleaner environment beneath the home.
By removing contaminated materials and treating the affected surfaces, the crawl space is left cleaner and better prepared for any future insulation, moisture-control, or protection upgrades.
This project included both a safety inspection and finishing improvements in the crawl space area. The team began by inspecting the temporary wooden supports that were installed during the foundation work to ensure they could be safely removed without affecting the structure. Once confirmed, attention was turned to completing the space under the stairs. A protective liner was installed to seal the area, and new rigid insulation panels were added to the walls and ceiling, helping to improve comfort, energy efficiency, and overall cleanliness.
This project focused on addressing water buildup and cleaning up the crawl space. We pumped out the standing water to eliminate moisture and prevent further issues. The area was then cleaned by removing debris, wiping down ducts and sewer lines, and clearing out spider webs.
Damaged insulation and tar paper were removed from the walls and properly disposed of, leaving the space ready for future improvements.
This work helps reduce moisture levels, prevent odours and mould growth, and create a safer, healthier environment under the home.
