Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

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.

The client was looking to have some or all of my crawlspace thoroughly cleaned and set up for a more accessible arrangement of storage shelves.

We transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthy area. First, we sealed off the entire space to keep out moisture from the ground and walls, making sure everything was properly fastened and airtight. To help with drainage and add durability, we laid down a protective layer beneath the liner. We also took care of rodent prevention by sealing up the overhangs with wire mesh and insulating the areas to keep the space warmer. The entire crawl space was thoroughly cleaned, old insulation was removed, rodent droppings were hepa vacuumed, and all surfaces were treated for mould and bacteria. We wiped down heating ducts, sewer lines, and got rid of spider webs to leave everything fresh. To keep the space dry long-term, we installed a dehumidifier that helps control humidity levels. Lastly, we added high-quality insulation to the walls and rim joists, sealing up all the seams to boost energy efficiency and ensure the space stays in great shape moving forward.

We start by installing a strong moisture barrier in your crawl space, and carefully sealing it around the footings, piers, and foundation walls to keep moisture out. If there’s insulation, we make sure the barrier fits snugly in front of it for maximum protection. We also wrap the bottoms of the piers to prevent moisture buildup.

To help manage any water seepage, we add a durable drainage mat underneath the moisture barrier and up the walls, giving the space a rougher surface that’s great for storing items and adding long-lasting durability. Any old, rotted 2x4 supports are replaced to ensure your structure is stable.

Next, we install high-quality, foil-faced insulation along the walls, sealing all the seams so no air or moisture can get through. We also treat all wood surfaces with a specialized mould prevention solution to keep your crawl space fresh and healthy. Finally, we remove old insulation from the floor joist area, making sure everything stays clean and dry.

This comprehensive approach keeps your crawl space dry, energy-efficient, and protected, creating a healthier environment for your home.
