Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

This project focused on sealing, stabilizing, and improving the overall condition of the crawl space. The work began by regrading the soil, smoothing the surface, removing large rocks, and filling in gaps around the main sewer outlet to create a clean and even base.

A full crawl space encapsulation system was installed and carefully sealed around footings, piers, and along the foundation walls to keep moisture out. During the installation, the existing adjustable support jacks were temporarily removed so the liner could be properly placed. Once complete, the jacks were reinstalled on top of the liner and tightened to stabilize the support beam. The bottoms of the piers were also wrapped for added protection.

A drainage layer was added beneath the liner and extended up the walls to help manage ground moisture and improve durability. The foundation walls were then insulated, with all seams sealed to reduce drafts and prevent moisture intrusion.

To finish the project, a foundation crack was repaired using a flexible injection to stop water entry, followed by a carbon fiber reinforcement to strengthen the wall. 

These improvements resulted in a cleaner, drier, and more stable crawl space built for long-term protection and peace of mind.

This project focused on deep cleaning and sanitizing the crawl space. The team wiped down heating ducts and sewer lines, removed spider webs, cleared loose debris from the floor, and vacuumed the entire area. All concrete surfaces were then disinfected with a germicidal treatment to eliminate any traces of rodent activity, leaving the space clean, safe, and refreshed.

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.
