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 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
This project involved a full cleaning and insulation upgrade in the crawl space to create a healthier and more energy-efficient environment. The team started by applying a mould control treatment to all wooden and organic surfaces to eliminate any potential growth and ensure a clean foundation. Old insulation materials were removed and properly disposed of, followed by a detailed cleaning, including wiping down heating ducts, clearing debris, and vacuuming the crawl space floor for a fresh finish.
New insulated panels were then installed along the rim joist and wood-framed walls, with all seams carefully sealed using spray foam for an airtight fit. The sill plate was also sealed to the foundation wall to prevent air leaks and help keep out insects. This process left the crawl space cleaner, better protected, and more efficient overall.
For this project, we completed a full upgrade to protect the crawl space from water, moisture, and mould, while improving energy efficiency. We began by installing a powerful sump pump system to handle any water buildup and keep the area dry. Next, we sealed the crawl space with a durable liner and drainage matting to block ground moisture and create a clean, usable space.
To ensure long-term protection, we treated all wooden surfaces to prevent mould growth. We then installed high-efficiency insulation on the crawl space walls and rim joists, sealing all gaps to improve comfort and reduce energy loss. These improvements work together to create a healthier, safer, and more energy-efficient home.
