Eliminating cold and dampness in a crawl space
This article was originally published on August 31, 2017 by Marcel Lapierre
A crawl space, which in earlier years took the form of a dirt cellar, is a volume of air between the earth and a house’s main floor whose purpose is to keep the floor of the building raised up off of the ground and away from moisture. Today, builders generally raise a home’s main floor anywhere from a few centimetres (at least 20 cm) to as high as 1.8 metres off of the ground. To comply with the Building Code, a crawl space may not have an access door with stairs (although one without stairs is acceptable), hold any type of combustion appliance or be used as a bedroom or office.

Basement renovation: insulation best practices
This article was originally published on August 27, 2017 by Jocelyn St-Pierre
In comparison to today’s standards, the basement insulation in homes built between the 1950s and 1980s was generally inadequate.
