Challenge

In Innisfil, ON, a homeowner was dealing with a crawl space that felt more like a forgotten basement from a ghost story—persistent moisture, musty odours, and wooden beams beginning to show signs of rot. A recent home inspection confirmed the problem but couldn’t quite identify the source. The space was damp, uncomfortable, and clearly in need of attention, but the root cause of the issue remained a mystery.

Solution

Our team stepped in with a clear plan to dry things out and protect the space long-term. After a thorough inspection, we installed a complete moisture management system designed specifically for crawl spaces. This included:

The SmartSump® crawl space sump pump, which is compact but powerful and equipped with a built-in alarm to alert the homeowner if water ever rises unexpectedly.
An EZ Flow drainage system to efficiently collect groundwater and channel it directly to the sump pump.
An IceGuard® discharge line system, which allows water to escape even if the discharge line freezes, helping to prevent backups during cold weather.
A LawnScape™ outlet to safely and discreetly discharge the water away from the home, keeping the yard intact and the foundation protected.

Thanks to this comprehensive system, the crawl space is now dry, clean, and worry-free. What was once a damp and gloomy area is now a well-protected part of the home—ready for any season.
