Before & After Photos

The problem

Mr. Cloghesy had an earthen crawl space which was very wet. Moisture from the crawl space spreads to upper floors and sometimes creates a foul odor. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to install a vapor barrier in his crawl space in order to regain the comfort of his home and use the space as storage.

The solution

 Install our drainage membrane as well as our CleanSpace coating. The drainage membrane is installed on the earthen floor, it creates a drainage space for water to flow to the interior French drain or sump pump system. Ideal for covering earthen and rocky ground, it creates an air space which acts as a thermal cushion giving a certain insulation value. Next, our 20mm thick CleanSpace liner is a blend of high and low density polyethylene making it puncture resistant and flexible. It thus blocks moisture from the basement and gives a clear and clean appearance to the void.

A client from Saint-Anicet had moisture problems in his crawl space. He noticed that some of the joists of his house were sagging slightly and the floor was bouncing under his feet.

Our technicians led by foreman Michel Leclerc proceeded to install 6 SmartJack support pillars.

The SmartJack is a support beam designed by engineers that adjusts to the exact height between the solid base and the support beam at the top. It stabilizes your foundations in the crawl space to secure your home and restore its value. 

In Pierrefonds, this homeowner faced a common yet troublesome issue - a damp crawlspace, which can be seen in the before photo displaying signs of moisture and possible damage risks. Fortunately, our team stepped in with a seamless solution. On the floor we installed CleanSpace drainage matting and TerraBlock since the temperature fluctuation was significant. And on the walls we installed SilverGlo thermal insulation. As noticed in the after photo, we transformed the previously damp and neglected crawlspace into a dry, energy-efficient, and healthy area under the home. This upgrade not only solved the current moisture problem but also provided a durable solution that supports a healthier living environment above.

In Pointe-Claire, QC, a homeowner reached out to us about a cold crawl space that made their home less comfortable and efficient. As you can see in the before photo, the area was uninviting and poorly insulated. After our team stepped in, notice the transformation in the after photo. We installed CleanSpace to add protection and SilverGlo for top-notch insulation, providing not only a warmer space but also improving the overall home efficiency and comfort. Through our effective solutions, we ensured a remarkable and long-lasting result, addressing the homeowner’s concerns with a reliable fix.

A client from Pointe-Claire, QC called us to let us know of his concerns about his crawl space. He noticed that moisture was forming on the support beams in his crawlspace and that the beams were sagging.

The experienced specialist Mike Costello went to the client’s house and advised him to install SmartJacks to support the sagging  joists as well as to encapsulate his crawl space with a Cleanspace membrane, in order to prevent the humidity problem from persisting.

The customer is now very satisfied with the work of the team and is very reassured.
