Before & After Photos

The customer wanted to clean the crawlspace up and improve the air in the home. Advanced Basement Systems used the Clean Space system to encapsulate the area and improve the quality of the air in the crawlspace.

Problem: These homeowners were experiencing a problem prevalent in homes that have an open dirt floor crawl space:

-        High humidity, resulting in a musty smelling home

-        Cold floors in the winter

-        High heating and cooling bills as they were continually heating and cooling the outdoor air which was making its way into the crawl space.

Solution: We sealed off the crawl space, encapsulating it with our Clean Space® Vapour Barrier, including the support columns. We sealed the exterior vents and added Spray Foam Insulation to the exterior walls.

Problem: Cold floors, rotting wood and mold were issues in this home. Outside moisture getting in was the cause.

Solution: Now that the CleanSpace liner has been installed the house is isolated from the earth, which creates a healthy, dry enviroment.

Challenge: These homeowners’ crawl space was always damp and humid, creating musty smells in the home. 

Solution: This home is in a low-lying area with a high water table. Here’s what we did:

We levelled the uneven ground and installed drainage matting which helps move water into the newly installed crawl space sump pump, the SmartSump™. To seal the crawl space from the ground and the outside environment, we installed our super heavy-duty vapour barrier and sealed to the exterior walls with spray foam insulation. The last part of the repair is installing vent covers and sealing the crawl space access. 

What a transformation!

Problem: This home had sagging floors and high humidity due to an exposed dirt floor.

Solution: Install a vapor barrier (CleanSpace) to isolate the home from the earth. Dig and pour new concrete footings and install steel support posts (jacks) that can be adjusted over time to lift the home back up. Install a high-performance dehumidifier.
