Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Homeowners with Water in Basement Discover Damage to Crawl Space During Inspection
Challenge
Customers in Lake of Bays hired Clarke Basement Systems to inspect their basement after recently discovering some water seepage and cracking in their foundation when they gutted their basement. These issues also raised concern for the well-being of their crawl space. System Design specialist Robert Langton also inspected the crawl space and determined it needed some TLC.
Solution
The decision was to encapsulate the area with our CleanSpace® vapour barrier. This will help the crawl space stay dry and keep small rodents and other unwanted critters out. Next, they decided to go with another layer of protection on the crawl space walls with our ThermalDry® wall system. This performs as a vapour barrier but also has insulated properties to keep heating costs down during the winter, making it an energy and money saver!
When the job was done, the customers were pleased they made the call to Clarke Basement Systems, and we could look after their basement and crawl space all at once.
