Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Crawl Space in Keswick, ON, Needs Full Repair from CBS
Challenge
A customer in Keswick, ON, had a wet, smelly, dirt-floor crawl space in their home, contributing to poor energy performance and a bad smell in the house. Additionally, the interior support piers for the main floor was sagging. This was a significant problem for the homeowners because the smell was becoming unbearable, and they wanted to save money on energy costs, as well as properly support the floor. System Design Specialist, Ben Wallis, created a well-suited solution that would last.
Solution
Installation Foreman Lucio Flores and his trusted crew insulated and encapsulated the crawl space with R-20 ThermalWall® insulation and CleanSpace® Membrane and installed proper SmartJack® supports with steel beams for the floor above the crawl space. When the team finished, the customer was amazed with the work done. The R-20 insulation and the CleanSpace® vapour barrier will now effectively look after odours, and with proper insulation, their SaniDry® will work properly. Lastly, the floors are now securely stabilized thanks to the SmartJack® beams.
