Sandy in Welland, On needed some repair to correct dampness issues. These include sagging floors and other moisture damage. Omni Basement Systems suggested and installed a vapor barrier called Cleanspace. Cleanspace is a 20mil thick liner that has cord reinforcement and a product called Ultrafresh that inhibits mold growth. Omni also installed house jacks called Smartjacks (not shown) these jacks sits on a very large footing that is galvanized for rust proofing
Protecting your house from misture in crawlspace is very important. trapped moisture can cause building materials from developing rot.
Poorly supported main beams are far too often in crawlspace houses. Omni can fix this problem with Smartjacks and if necessary, supplementary galvanized steel "I" beams

Kim has a small crawlspace in her Fonthill home. The dirt floor crawlspace is smelly and emits moisture. Omni Basement Systems installed a vapor barrier to encapsulate the crawlspace. Three layers were used. First a drainage matting to protect the vapor barrier, then a layer of floor insulation to cut down on the condensation and save energy, and lastly Cleanspace vapor barrier is mechanically fastened and sealed to prevent moisture from coming up from the dirt floor. Kim was very impressed about how great her crawlspace looks and feels.
