Many believe that winterizing a crawl space is only beneficial to a home during the cold winter months we experience here in southwestern Ontario - that’s not true!

So often we visit homes with crawl spaces which are exposed to the outside elements. This happens in numerous ways:
- Unsealed vents
- Unsealed access doors
- Poor or non-existent insulation on their exterior walls
- Unsealed floors and supports

All of these factors create unhealthy conditions in the crawl space year round!

Our Solution:
When we encapsulate a crawl space, we seal it off entirely from the outside environment, which regulates the humidity and ceases the seasonal fluctuations which cause the problems. We:

- Installed our Clean Space® Vapour Barrier, sealing the crawl space from the dampness below
- We sealed the vents and weather proofed access doors
- Added Spray Foam Insulation to exterior walls, sealing it to the newly installed vapour barrier.

Sealed, healthy, dry and more energy efficient… for years to come!

A proper sump pump system starts below the surface.🪏

This installation includes preparing the sump pit, setting the liner, and building the drainage system needed to collect groundwater and direct it away from the home. A properly installed sump pump can help manage groundwater and reduce the risk of basement flooding.

It’s the work you don’t always see that makes a difference when the next heavy rain comes.

Just moved into a new home? Your first year is the perfect time to take a closer look at the systems that can help keep your basement healthier, drier, and more comfortable. 🤝

In this video, Ben covers three upgrades every homeowner should consider: an air purifier to help improve indoor air quality, a radon gas mitigation system to reduce radon levels in your home, and a reliable sump pump system to help protect your basement from water. 💧

A little preventative planning now can go a long way toward protecting your home for years to come.

Your basement’s drainage system is one of the most important lines of defence against groundwater. 💧
This interior drainage system is installed along the perimeter of the basement floor to collect water that makes its way through or beneath the foundation. The water is directed toward the sump pump system, where it can be safely removed from the home.

A properly designed drainage system helps manage groundwater before it becomes a bigger basement problem.
If you’re seeing damp floors, water seepage, or signs of moisture in your basement, it may be time to look at what’s happening below the surface.

What started as a damp crawl space had become a much bigger problem for this Chatham homeowner.

Their crawl space was experiencing significant moisture and flooding, while two undersized and improperly installed support beams were contributing to sagging floors above. The space also had persistent odours, felt unhealthy and unusable, and left the floors noticeably cold during the winter.

Advanced Basement Systems took a comprehensive approach to address the problems at their source. New footings and SmartJacks were installed to properly support the beams and stabilize the floors above. A perimeter drainage system, along with additional drainage through the centre of the crawl space, was installed to manage the high volume of groundwater and direct it to a SuperSump system with an UltraSump battery backup.

The moisture problem was addressed with CleanSpace, a durable vapour barrier designed to isolate the crawl space from the surrounding earth. The foundation walls were sealed and insulated with spray foam, the space was dehumidified, and a new custom access door and access well were installed to help keep outside air and moisture out.

The result is a dry, cleaner and more comfortable crawl space that can now be safely used for storage year-round.

This project is a good example of why crawl space problems often require more than one solution. Structural support, groundwater, outside air and humidity all play a role in the condition of the space above your foundation.
