Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Calgary, Alberta encounters issues with mold and dampness in their crawl space. Wanting to protect their home investment and eliminate the issues with a permanent solution, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems. A System Design Specialist was able assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specific to address all of their concerns.
Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to install our CleanSpace® crawl space vapor barrier encapsulation to prevent moisture from passing through the floors. This durable liner will allow for servicemen to use the space without damage while transforming the crawl space into usable storage space. Included in this homeowners waterproofing system design is our SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump which comes equipped with a cast-iron Zoeller® sump pump. From there the system will discharge any water entering the sump pump to the exterior of the home passing through our patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation in the event that the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. And finally the discharge line has been buried below-grade out of plain sight ending off with a Bubbler Pot away from the home installed flush with the grass on the lawn so you can mow right over it.
