Musty & Inefficient Crawl Space in Bala, Ontario

Challenge

Jason and his family in Bala, ON, reached out to us after dealing with two frustrating issues: rising energy bills and a musty smell that kept creeping into their living space. Their crawl space—long out of sight and out of mind—had become a hidden source of discomfort.

Every month, their utility bills climbed higher, and no matter how much they cleaned upstairs, that damp, earthy smell kept returning. It was clear something below the surface was throwing the whole home off balance.

Solution

Our Customer Care Specialist quickly booked a visit with a System Design Specialist. After a detailed inspection of the crawl space, he found what we suspected: high humidity levels, poor insulation, and early signs of mold.

We knew the right fix would come from our CleanSpace system, designed to fully seal and protect crawl spaces from moisture and energy loss. The transformation began with SilverGlo™ insulation on the walls to reflect heat and keep the cold out. Next, we added CleanSpace Drainage Matting and TerraBlock™ insulation on the floor—working together to manage any water and add a soft, insulating layer underfoot.

To finish it off, we sealed the entire area with our CleanSpace™ liner, an antimicrobial vapor barrier that locks out moisture and helps prevent future mold growth. Our crew wrapped up the job with a thorough cleanup, leaving nothing behind but a dry, healthy crawl space.

Now, Jason’s home is noticeably more comfortable, energy-efficient, and—best of all—free from that stubborn musty smell. The crawl space is no longer a source of stress, but a sealed and protected part of their home.
