Crawlspace Repair- Lawrencetown, NS
Challenge
In Lawrencetown, NS, a homeowner faced ongoing issues with two sections of their home’s crawl spaces, both having dirt floors exposed to varying weather conditions. These unprotected areas allowed for the infiltration of moisture, leading to elevated humidity levels and increased risk of problems such as mold growth and wood rot. Concerned about potential structural damage, persistent musty odors, higher energy bills, and long-term safety for their home, the homeowner decided to consult Ridgeback Basement Systems for a lasting solution.
After receiving a call, our Customer Care Specialist scheduled a thorough home inspection. During the assessment, our expert System Design Specialist evaluated the condition of the crawl spaces and diagnosed the underlying issues. We identified that moisture accumulation from the unsealed dirt floors was the primary concern that needed addressing. The situation called for a reliable method to encapsulate the areas completely and safeguard against environmental intrusion.
Solution
To provide a robust solution, our skilled production team installed the CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. This system utilizes a 20-mil 7-ply liner made of polyethylene and polyester materials reinforced to ensure durability. The CleanSpace® liner not only sealed the dirt floors seamlessly to the walls and support posts but also introduced an antimicrobial finish to protect against mold and mildew. Unlike conventional thin liners, CleanSpace offers unparalleled protection, significantly extending the service life of the encapsulated areas.
Upon completion, the crawl spaces were transformed into dry, clean environments free from excess moisture threats. This heavily contributed to the overall comfort and energy efficiency of the home. Our approach provided the homeowners with peace of mind, knowing their property stands protected by a proven system from Ridgeback Basement Systems.
