Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

We recently finished a full crawl space makeover to help make this area cleaner, drier, and better protected for the long term. First, we installed a heavy duty liner system to seal off the space and keep out moisture, making sure everything was tightly secured around the walls, footings, and insulation. To help with drainage and make the ground more comfortable for storage, we laid down a special mat under the liner and brought it up along the lower walls. We also added insulation around the rim of the crawl space to help improve energy efficiency. Next, we treated all the wooden and organic surfaces to prevent mold, gave the space a good cleaning including wiping down the tops of heating ducts and pipes, clearing out spider webs, and removing any loose debris. We also repaired a crack in the foundation by injecting it with a flexible sealant and reinforcing it with a strong material to keep it stable and dry.

Clean-up (fiberglass removal) and replaced with air board rigid insulation, installation of drain mat with cleanspace vapour barrier, replace rotten base plate structural wall with new wood.

What have we done in this house? 

-Insulation was repaired to keep the house with minimal energy loss properly.

-Super Sump Pump was installed to help with water issues in the crawlspace

-Mould killer was sprayed to kill affected areas that were showing signs of mold

This project involved a full cleaning and insulation upgrade in the crawl space to create a healthier and more energy-efficient environment. The team started by applying a mould control treatment to all wooden and organic surfaces to eliminate any potential growth and ensure a clean foundation. Old insulation materials were removed and properly disposed of, followed by a detailed cleaning, including wiping down heating ducts, clearing debris, and vacuuming the crawl space floor for a fresh finish.

New insulated panels were then installed along the rim joist and wood-framed walls, with all seams carefully sealed using spray foam for an airtight fit. The sill plate was also sealed to the foundation wall to prevent air leaks and help keep out insects. This process left the crawl space cleaner, better protected, and more efficient overall.

For this project, we completed a full upgrade to protect the crawl space from water, moisture, and mould, while improving energy efficiency. We began by installing a powerful sump pump system to handle any water buildup and keep the area dry. Next, we sealed the crawl space with a durable liner and drainage matting to block ground moisture and create a clean, usable space.

To ensure long-term protection, we treated all wooden surfaces to prevent mould growth. We then installed high-efficiency insulation on the crawl space walls and rim joists, sealing all gaps to improve comfort and reduce energy loss. These improvements work together to create a healthier, safer, and more energy-efficient home.
