Comprehensive Crawl Space Repair for a Safer, Stronger Home in Blackstock, ON
Challenge
A homeowner in Blackstock contacted us after discovering significant moisture, musty odors, and visible deterioration in their crawl space. High humidity and recurring water infiltration had caused mold growth and wood rot, weakening the floor structure above and creating noticeable sagging. The homeowner was concerned about long-term structural stability and the potential for further damage if the issue remained unresolved.
Solution
To fully resolve the moisture problem and restore structural integrity, our team implemented a complete crawl space repair system that included:
- CleanSpace® Encapsulation: A durable vapor barrier installed across walls and floors to seal out moisture, humidity, and soil gases.
- CleanSpace® Drainage Matting: A dimpled drainage layer beneath the liner to direct water toward the sump location and improve overall drainage.
- SmartSump™ Sump Pump System: Equipped with a cast-iron Zoeller pump, an airtight lid that integrates with the CleanSpace® system, and a WaterWatch® alarm to detect plumbing leaks or pump issues.
- SmartJack® Support Posts: Adjustable galvanized steel support jacks installed to lift and stabilize sagging joists, restoring strength to the floor structure.
This comprehensive approach transformed the crawl space into a dry, protected, and structurally secure environment.
