Crawl Space Repair Case Studies: New Cottage Upgraded, Minden Hills, ON
Challenge
This customer had purchased a cottage in Minden Hills, Ontario, knowing there would be some work to be done. On inspection critters had been comfortable there for a while. The RH was very high and there was much room for improvement. The customer needed a full solution so they called Clarke Basement Systems.
Solution
An encapsulation was installed separating the ground moisture from the cottage framing. An R20 ThermalDry insulation was installed on all walls to extend the cottage season on both ends. We also installed a SmartSump and UltraSump battery backup to avoid moisture and flooding. All holes that critters had been using to enter the home were sealed. This space is now a healthy usable space protected with a 25 year nationally backed transferable warranty. The customer is satisfied knowing that the problems were able to be solved and the crawlspace was able to be saved.
