Crawl Space Waterproofing in Bracebridge, Ontario

After dealing with a wet crawlspace every spring, and odours every time he opened his cottage, a customer in Bracebridge, Ontario said enough is enough. He reached out to Clarke Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Rob Malcomson went to assess the situation. He decided on a waterproofing system that would keep the crawl space dry and prevent moisture for years to come.

Foreman Jose Martinez was tasked with performing the installation. He encapsulated the entire crawl space using CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier, before installing a SmartSump™ Sump Pump. The sump pump has an added battery back-up as well, which ensures any water is taken care of whether the owner is there or not.

To help the crawlspace and cottage stay as warm as possible, vent covers were installed, along with insulation on the exterior walls. As an added measure, we installed an Aprilaire® Dehumidifier to remove any odours and prevent mould growth.

The customer is happy their cottage is finally odour free when opening, and they no longer have to worry about the crawl space flooding before they even get there!
