Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In Kilworthy, ON, a homeowner faced high humidity and foundation repair needs in their crawl space due to it being directly on the soil. As shown in the photo, this posed structural challenges and moisture issues. At Basement Systems Toronto, we addressed this with our SmartJack® System, designed to stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists efficiently. Our robust installation involved galvanized steel columns on engineered fill, effectively handling weak foundation soils. As a result, you can see the enhanced support and solid foundation, efficiently alleviating these issues.

In the Muskoka District, precisely in Gravenhurst, a cottage homeowner faced a persistently humid crawl space that led to uncomfortable musty odors and potential structural threats. To address these issues, we installed our durable CleanSpace drainage matting, teamed up with CleanSpace vapor barrier to ensure a perfect insulation and encapsulation of the crawl space. In addition our dehumidifier SaniDry Sedona was set up to manage moisture and add another layer of protection. Our approach reinforced the crawl space’s durability and reduced humidity levels, creating a healthier and more pleasant indoor environment.

Before tackling this cozy Port Severn home, the floors felt like a trampoline, and the tilt left you guessing which way was up, all thanks to a neglected crawl space crying out for care. Peek at the left photo and see the despair. Fast forward to our intervention: embracing CleanSpace to seal dampness away, SilverGlo padding the walls to bounce cold out, and SmartJack steel posts standing guard to level the playing field. The after photo beams with triumph, offering a firm foundation where once there was none. A remarkable change for a home finally feeling whole. Without pushing boundaries or dwelling in complexities, this not only showcases our commitment to lasting solutions but promises peace of mind, wrapped in the assurance of unwavering support, literally from the ground up.

In Zephyr, ON, our team confronted signs of structural distress in a homeowner’s crawl space. The challenges were evident with areas of dry rot on a main beam, a wooden post on a cracked concrete footing, and vertical cracks on several footings. We addressed these issues using our SmartJack® System, designed to stabilize and lift crawl space supports. This system not only strengthened the foundation but also distributed the home’s weight effectively. As shown in the after photo, we've restored stability and support to the home's structure.

Before the work, the homeowner’s crawl space was damp and poorly insulated, with visible foundation cracks that allowed cold air and moisture to enter. Water had no reliable path to drain, resulting in high humidity levels, musty odors, and the risk of mold growth. The space offered little protection against seasonal temperature changes, making the home harder to keep warm in the winter.

After the installation of CleanSpace® Drainage Matting, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SmartDrain™, SaniDry™ Sedona, and SilverGlo™ insulation, the crawl space became clean, dry, and energy efficient. Water is now directed and managed properly, humidity is controlled, and the entire area is sealed against moisture and outside air. The homeowner now benefits from improved air quality, greater comfort, and long-term protection for their home.
