Clarke Basement Systems Case Studies: Port Elgin Smelly Crawlspace, ON
Challenge
The customer was converting a cottage into a year round home. Not to long after moving in they notice smells coming from the Crawlspace and the floor seem to be a little bouncy. They had vents in the crawlspace that were open, allowing moisture and airflow into the basement. They needed to get the basement waterproofed and the crawlspace cleaned and protected from any future water damage.
Solution
We first controlled the earths moisture by encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace. That preserved the crawlspace by preventing water vapor and humidity from seeping through. Second was to firm up the flooring system by installing some SmartJacks. We installed a SmartDrain to protect the basement and notify the customer about any leaks. To complete the job we sealed the crawlspace from outside air by putting in vent covers. The customer can now live in their home without any worry of damage in the future.
