Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Crawl Space Stinks Up Home in Washago, Ontario
Challenge
Our home is a place where we gather and share with others. We enjoy the company of others, share over meals, and make memories, but issues in your house can burden these activities.
A customer in Washago, Ontario, had a nasty smell coming from their crawl space and spreading throughout the entire home. They wanted the smell gone and reached out to Clarke Basement Systems, looking for a solution.
Solution
System Design Specialist Robert Langton met with the customer at their home and inspected the crawl space. He designed an encapsulation and air purifying system that the customer was thrilled with, and Foreman Jose Martinez installed the solution.
Jose encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier to prevent moisture from seeping from the walls and floor. To avoid the loss of heat and keep the area insulated, Jose used ThermalDry® Wall Membrane to insulate the walls. Lastly, an Aprilaire® MoistureLoc Dehumidifier was installed to keep the relative humidity down and purify the home’s air.
The customers are ecstatic that their home is smell free. They can continue to enjoy friends and family without having to explain what smells so weird.
