Donna, a homeowner in Newcastle, ON., had a nasty smell throughout her house for a very long time. She couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. She felt so embarrassed by the horrible odour and wanted it removed immediately. Finally, Donna searched every nook and cranny in the house and found the smell coming from the crawl space vents. As she got closer to the vents, Donna felt a gust of humid air flooding out and began to realize a huge humidity issue existed in the crawl space.
Her friend in Wilmot Creek recommended that Donna give us a shout. Our Call Centre set up an appointment with our System Design Specialist, Ryan Hanlon. After his inspection, Ryan recommended a full crawl space encapsulation since it was completely bare and never waterproofed. The system included our CleanSpace® vapour barrier, drainage matting, vent covers, and SmartDrain™. To help create balanced humidity in the newly encapsulated crawl space, Ryan suggested our high-efficiency AprilAire® dehumidifier. Donna trusted Ryan’s proposal and felt confident the mouldy smell and mucky feeling would be gone for good. Our experienced Installation Foreman, Dave Jackson, and his crew went to Donna’s house and began installing her new system. The results were way above what Donna was expecting. The harsh, smelly summers are gone for good, and Donna could start enjoying her house again.

Crawl spaces are known to be dark, muggy, and often places we homeowners wouldn’t choose to go to unless completely necessary. However, many homeowners don’t understand how essential a crawl space is to the rest of the home. Your crawl space is a buffer between your home and the wet earth below. Unfortunately, as your crawl space works to protect your home, it can also collect too much humidity from water collection.
Newcastle, ON, homeowners were experiencing a muggy stench lingering around. System Design Specialist Mark Dougherty recommended our CleanSpace® solution. Installed by Foreman Dave Jackson, he was able to encapsulate the area that would provide numerous benefits for the space. After they were done, the homeowners could not believe how immaculate and bright their crawl space looked! Not to mention the immediate improvement of air quality throughout the whole household.
