This project was carried out during the winter when groundwater levels are naturally higher. Our clients didn't want to wait for the spring or summer season, so we had to manage the excess water using a pump. The house, built in the 2000s, already had EPS insulation on the concrete floor, but it wasn't sufficient enough. The floor area was 60 square meters, and the main challenge here was the water.
To start, we placed a pump inside the crawling space to drain the water. After about an hour, the water level had dropped enough for us to begin the next phase. We first prepared the bottom foil, which acts as a moisture barrier. We carefully attached the foil to the walls, ensuring it would keep the water below and prevent moisture from affecting the interior in the future.
The house had working ventilation, and the construction was dry, which meant we could move on to the next step without any issues. We then prepared and installed the insulation, making sure to tape any holes around pipes or cables to ensure a perfect seal. Once the insulation was in place, we applied foam along all the edges to make everything airtight.
The use of EPS construction made the installation process faster, as we were able to use plugs for a quick and efficient montage. In the end, we completed the project in just 4 hours, ensuring the house was well-insulated, moisture-free, and airtight.
