This project focused on replacing several window wells to improve drainage and better protect the home from water intrusion. All old materials were removed and properly disposed of, and excess soil and debris were cleared to create proper clearance below each window and bump-out area. Clean stone was added to help water flow away efficiently.
New window wells were built using treated lumber for durability and long-term performance. A drainage layer was installed along the exterior of each well to direct water away from the foundation, with a clean finish along the top edge. Each area was then backfilled with drain rock to support proper drainage.
This project focused on sealing and insulating the crawl space to improve moisture control and overall comfort. A full liner system was installed across the crawl space and carefully sealed around footings, piers, and along the foundation walls. The liner was also extended underneath existing support walls to ensure full coverage and a continuous barrier against moisture and air.
A drainage layer was added beneath the liner and extended up the walls to help manage ground moisture and create a more durable surface.
To improve energy efficiency, insulation was installed along the foundation walls and in the rim joist areas. All seams and edges were carefully sealed to reduce drafts and prevent moisture issues.
These upgrades help keep the crawl space dry, clean, and well-insulated, supporting a healthier and more comfortable home.
For this project, we worked on making the crawl space dry, stable, and energy-efficient. We started by adding a protective barrier across the floor and up the walls to keep out ground moisture and create a clean surface for storage. To keep the air fresh and dry, we included a dehumidifier with its own stand and outlet.
For extra strength, new support posts and beams were installed to stabilize the structure above. We also wrapped the piers, sealed up the rim joists with insulation to improve energy savings, and finished the job by fully sealing the space to lock out moisture and outside air. Together, these steps give the crawl space long-term protection and create a healthier home environment.

This project focused on fully sealing, insulating, and reinforcing the crawl space. The team began by cleaning the area, wiping down ducts, removing debris, and applying a mould control treatment to all wood surfaces for a healthier environment. A drainage mat and CleanSpace liner were installed and carefully sealed around piers, walls, and footings to protect against moisture and improve overall air quality.
The piers were wrapped, and new insulation was added to the walls, rim joists, and both customer-installed doors. All seams were sealed to prevent drafts and humidity. Wire mesh was installed where needed for added protection.
To stabilize the structure, steel base jacks were installed along with a joist stabilizer to support sagging or weakened floor sections. This upgrade ensures long-term strength, moisture protection, and improved comfort throughout the home.
