Moisture Out, Comfort In: Crawl Space Upgrade

For this project, we focused on creating a cleaner, healthier, and more comfortable crawl space. We fully sealed the area to block out moisture and protect against future water seepage. The floor was prepared with a durable barrier that not only prevents dampness but also makes the space easier to use for storage.

 

We repaired a small opening in the concrete before sealing everything in, ensuring a smooth and solid foundation. To keep the air fresh and dry, we installed a dehumidifier system with its own drainage setup, helping to control humidity year-round.

 

All wood and organic surfaces were treated to stop mould growth, and the rim joists were insulated and sealed to improve energy efficiency while keeping outside air from leaking in.

 

Overall, the work gives the crawl space lasting protection, cleaner air, and a more usable environment for the home.

Drainage, mould, and structural fixes all in one crawl space project

We completed a full crawl space repair to address moisture, drainage, and structural concerns. A sump pump system with a battery backup was installed to manage groundwater and prevent flooding, even during power outages. The entire space was encapsulated and sealed with drainage matting to protect against seepage and improve durability. We removed debris and old insulation and treated all surfaces for mold. A dehumidifier was installed to control humidity, and new moisture-resistant insulation was added to boost energy efficiency. Structurally, we stabilized floor joists with a steel jack system and replaced a 10-foot section of rotten sill plate and rim joist, supporting the area with a steel I-beam and new framing. We also redirected exterior water flow to a catch basin to keep the area dry. The result is a clean, dry, and stable space ready to protect the home for years.

Window Well Replacement and Drainage Upgrade in Surrey, BC

This project focused on rebuilding and improving the drainage of an existing window well. The team started by removing and disposing of the old materials, then cleared out excess soil and debris to create six inches of proper clearance beneath the window. A clean layer of stone was added to promote better water drainage and stability.

 

A new window well was constructed using treated lumber for long-lasting protection. To further prevent moisture buildup, a drainage mat was installed along the exterior and finished neatly with a mould strip at the top edge. The area was then backfilled with soil and completed with a custom-made aluminum grill, providing a durable, clean, and secure finish.

Foundation Crack Repair in Surrey, BC

In this project, we repaired a foundation crack to stop water from getting in and to strengthen the wall. We used a special injection method to seal the crack and then reinforced the area with carbon fiber for added structural support. 

Rebuilding a Functional Window Well in Surrey, BC

For this project, we removed the old window well materials and cleaned up the area. To improve drainage and create enough space under the window, we cleared away extra soil and added clean stone. Then, we built a brand-new window well using pressure-treated wood and added a special drainage mat to help water flow away properly. The top edge of the mat was sealed with a mold strip for a clean finish, and we reused the existing soil to backfill the area.
