Crawl Space Repair Case Studies: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Toronto, ON
Challenge
This century home in the heart of Toronto had some unique challenges including a large crawlspace located under the main floor kitchen that was damp, cold and seeping groundwater into the basement storage area and apartment to the front of the building. The owner was concerned about wood rot, infestation and mould in the crawlspace area, as well as water damage caused by the seepage on the floor after a heavy rain. Another concern was that the apartment was currently rented and the owner did not want to unduly disturb the tenant with any work done - even though the only access to the crawlspace was through the apartment itself.
Clarke Basement Systems was hired to address all these issues.
Solution

The crawlspace, once a damp, cold and dirty space was transformed into a clean, dry and warm area and the water seepage issues were completely resolved. Basement Systems pioneered crawlspace encapsulation that includes addressing ground water seepage with durable floor matting, proper, clog-free drainage to our best-in-the-industry sumps, a combination of rigid and foam insulation all wrapped by our exclusive Cleanspace waterproof membrane.
