Musty and Damp Crawl Space
At one time, this crawl space was dug deeper to create improved access for the mechanical systems of the home, such as the furnace, hot water tank, a sump pump and plumbing fixtures. By its nature, it was an unlevel and very damp space.
Evidence of Water Damage
The crawl space was leaking, which, combined with the porous mortar used in the stone foundation, resulting in continuously high humidity levels and a damp, musty environment which affected the entire home.
Older, Ineffective Sump Pump
This older pump just wasn't strong enough for this crawl space.
Radiant Wall Barrier
Our team installed ThermalDry® Basement Radiant Wall Barrier to help insulate the space, keeping the cold air and moisture out.
The Barrier is Durable Enough to be Walked On
We installed our CleanSpace® vapour barrier liner to seal the space from the harmful effects of the outside environment. This barrier is very durable and can be walked on and perfect when the homeowners want to use the area for storage or access the mechanical components of the home.
Upgraded Sump Pump and Dehumidifier
Our team - Installed a heavy-duty sump pump specifically designed for crawl spaces and the homeowners opted for a battery back-up to protect the space in the event of power failure. To help further with the damaging humidity, we installed the efficient and near-maintenance-free Sedona dehumidifier.
