A vapour barrier or an encapsulation system, is crucial in a dirt floor crawl space. Isolating the home from the earth is 1 step of 4 in fixing the issue! The barrier needs to be engineered to sit on dirt and not breakdown and become brittle.
Problem: Dirt floor crawl space, 6.5ft high, allowing water inside. Mold, odors and pests were an occurring issue.
Solution: Encapsulate entire sub-level and ensure adequate drainage was in place. Now is a safe, dry, comfortable area for storage.

Problem: The dirt floor crawl space was creating a damp and musty environment in this home. This homeowner required some debris to be removed from the crawl space. The homeowner also had the problem of cold floors above the crawl space as there was not enough insulation.
Solution: We installed a Clean Space liner to help with humidity and moisture in the crawl space and included Spray Foam insulation. Now the homeowner enjoys the benefits of a dry and comfortable crawl space area: less humidity in the home, eliminating musty odours and improved heating and cooling performance.

Problem: The homeowner needed to seal up an unused crawl space access door to improve the crawl space environment.
Solution: We installed and permanently sealed an EverLast crawl space access door. Sealing up all crawl space access areas is important to keep a home’s relative humidity low and a part of having ideal conditions in the crawl space.
