Creating a Healthier, More Comfortable Crawl Space

For this project, we turned the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthier area. We started by installing drainage matting on the floor and partway up the walls to protect against ground moisture and provide a durable surface for storage. We then treated all wood and organic surfaces to prevent mould growth and gave the space a thorough cleaning wiping down ducts, removing spider webs, and clearing loose debris.

 

To improve comfort and energy efficiency, we added rigid insulation to the walls and rim joists, sealing all seams and gaps to stop air leaks. Finally, we fully encapsulated the crawl space with a heavy-duty liner, fastening and sealing it to the walls, footings, and piers. This creates a sealed barrier that helps keep the area dry, insulated, and protected from moisture and energy loss.

Crawlspace & Waterproofing in Coquitlam

The daycare facility experienced a water leakage issue, prompting the implementation of effective measures. Trench work was undertaken to divert and contain the water, complemented by the installation of a sump pump to efficiently eliminate excess water and ensure a dry and secure environment.

Crawl Space Air Quality and Insulation Upgrade in Burnaby, BC

This project focused on improving the air quality, cleanliness, and energy efficiency of the crawl space. The team began by cleaning the area, wiping down heating ducts, removing spider webs, and clearing loose debris from the floor. All wood and organic surfaces were then treated with a mould control solution to ensure a healthy environment.

 

A new dehumidifier and air purifier system was installed to control humidity levels and improve overall air quality, helping prevent mould growth and musty odors. A dedicated electrical outlet was added to power the system safely and efficiently. Finally, insulated panels were installed along the rim joist and upper wall sections to enhance comfort, reduce energy loss, and provide long-term protection.

Connection to Rain Leader for Proper Drainage in Burnaby, BC

The drainage system will be connected to the existing rain leader to ensure proper water flow away from the foundation, helping to prevent pooling and moisture issues around the home.

A Stronger Window Well for Better Drainage and Protection in Burnaby

This project focused on improving the window well to better protect the home from water buildup. The old window well materials were removed and properly disposed of, while excess soil and debris were cleared away to create the proper drainage space beneath the window. Clean stone was added to encourage better water flow.

 

A new window well was built using durable treated lumber, and a drainage layer was installed along the exterior to help direct water away from the foundation. The installation was neatly finished and the area was backfilled to restore the surrounding landscape.

 

The result is a stronger, longer-lasting window well that helps improve drainage and provides better protection against moisture around the home's foundation.
