Crawlspace Repair- Hubbards, NS
Challenge
At Ridgeback Basement Systems, we firmly believe that everyone deserves a comfortable and safe home, starting right from the ground up - literally! Take this story from Hubbards, NS, for example. A homeowner reached out to us with concerns about their crawl space under the mudroom. It wasn't in the best shape, featuring a porch concrete pad supported by a 2x4 wall covered in exterior plywood. Moreover, the attempt at insulation with fiberglass and a thin plastic sheet over styrofoam panels on the concrete floor wasn’t doing any favors in terms of efficiency or protection.
Solution
Upon contacting our devoted Customer Care team, the homeowner was quickly scheduled for a comprehensive home inspection. Our System Design Specialist hit the ground running, diagnosing the space's insufficiencies and putting forward an enclosure solution designed to last. The recommendation: a combination of our SmartJack support system to reinforce structural integrity, CleanSpace vapor barrier to lock out moisture, and SilverGlo insulation panels to keep the energy efficiency and comfort in and the damp, cold air out. Swinging into action, our expert production team arrived at the residence, geared up to tackle the repair and encapsulation of the crawl space. In went the SmartJack system, guaranteeing a firm foundation. Next, the CleanSpace liner was meticulously installed to create an impenetrable moisture barrier, followed by SilverGlo insulation lining the walls for that thermally efficient seal. The outcome? Beyond expectations. The space was transformed from a cold, damp area to a dry, efficiently insulated part of their home. The homeowners were ecstatic, knowing that not only was the immediate issue resolved, but their home’s foundation was protected for the long haul.
