In this project, we worked on strengthening and leveling the floor structure. We carefully raised the floor joist using a steel beam and adjustable supports to make space for a new base. We then installed a protective layer and a solid treated wood base, securely anchored to the foundation. After that, new wall studs were added at regular intervals to ensure everything was properly supported and built to last.
Basement Systems of Vancouver helped this Surrey home owner make their home more comfortable and safe by encapsulating their crawlspace with Cleanspace and by insulating the walls with Silverglo
For this project, we focused on improving the health and safety of the crawl space and addressing a foundation issue. We treated the affected areas to eliminate mold, cleaned surfaces, and removed debris in half of the crawl space. To help control humidity, we installed a dehumidifier and air purifier. Finally, we repaired a foundation crack using a strong sealing method to prevent future leaks and reinforce the structure.
We just wrapped up a crawl space project focused on strengthening the floor and improving air quality. To support and stabilize the floor above, we installed a new support system and added extra beams and joists where needed to reinforce weak spots. This helps prevent sagging and keeps the structure solid for the long run.
We also gave the crawl space a full cleanup—wiping down the tops of ducts and pipes, removing spider webs, clearing out loose debris, and vacuuming the floor. Old insulation around the rim was removed and replaced with new, energy-efficient material.
To help with moisture control, we installed a dehumidifier and air purifier, which will keep the air drier and healthier. We also treated all the wood surfaces to prevent mold and made sure everything was sealed up properly. A new drainage pump and plumbing system were added, and the area was prepped for electrical work if needed.
We completed a window well improvement project to help with drainage and overall appearance. First, we removed the old window well materials and cleared away any excess soil and debris to create proper space below the window. We then added clean stone at the bottom to help water drain away properly.
Next, we built a new window well using treated wood and installed a drainage mat along the outside to help guide water away from the foundation. The top of the mat was neatly finished with a trim piece to keep everything secure and tidy. Once everything was in place, we used the original soil to backfill the area, leaving it clean and functional.
