When a crawl space is wet or humid, it will support the growth of mold, mildew, and rot. As this mold damages the structural wood in your home, the structure can begin to sag.
This is why we needed to encapsulate this crawl space in Ste-Anne-De-Sorel, Qc.
We have installed a CleanSpace liner to lock out any moisture coming in, and our dehumidifier known as the SaniDry Sedona which is a self-draining system that eliminates the chore of emptying collection trays, while an air filter eliminates particles from the air as small as 2 microns!
These are before and after pictures of a crawl space in Austin Qc, that had a bad moisture problem which made the floor rotten and getting destroyed.
Our client wanted to replace the floor at first, but once he contacted our company we went for our free inspection and informed him that his problem can be fixed easily.
So we suggested the installation of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, that will slows or prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air.
Made of a 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with polyester-cord reinforcement, the liner is treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth on or under the CleanSpace liner.
Ms. Tremblay contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, because a strong odor of humidity emanated from her basement. There was several water seepage, mold and its sump pump system was not sufficient to remove all the water. All of these factors caused this unpleasant smell of dampness.
Our client wanted a complete and permanent solution to her problem. And for that, our experts installed a WaterGuard interior drain which is connected to a second SmartPump sump pump system. In this way, the water ends up in the WaterGuard and the latter will direct it to the Smart Pump. Then they laid a drainage mat on the gravel floor. Its function is to direct the surface water towards the sump pump. They added the TerraBlock insulation sheets to the drainage mat in order to insulate the floor of the house and allow for some comfort when moving. Finally, they applied our CleanSpace coating on top of the TerraBlock. The three combined (Drainage Mat, TerraBlock and CleanSpace) form a perfect trio for insulating and waterproofing the basement.
A homeowner in the Orford, QC was dealing with excess humidity in their crawl space. Our system design specialist conducted a thorough evaluation, pinpointing the root causes of the humidity. He recommended : SmartJack for stabilizing the space, SilverGlo to insulate and create an energy-efficient thermal barrier, and CleanSpace, a moisture barrier, to secure against excess humidity. Not only did we eliminate the excessive humidity, but we also restored the homeowner's peace of mind, assuring them of a durable solution that wards off future moisture issues.
The encapsulation of your crawl space is a clever choice for the whole house. Once you can feel that the walls are cold, the air in the place is humid and you can see water leakage, you need to contact specialists such as our company that can help you solve these problems.
We have encapsulated this house in Louiseville, Qc.
Our team has started by installing the SmartSump system; this system is specifically designed for crawl spaces to help reduce moisture, remove water and prevent flooding.
Then the walls have been coated with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane, which blocks water vapor and redirects it to the drain.
Afterwards we added our SilverGlo panels that provide also a vapor barrier on your crawl space walls, holding back the moisture and humidity.
Finally, to keep the humidity level at 55% or lower, we have installed our SaniDry CX dehumidifier and air purifier that keeps the air dry and the environment healthy.
This space can now be conveniently and safely used. We are happy to have been able to carry out this project!
