Before & After Photos

When a crawl space is not isolated, accumulated water will humidify all the place and help bacteria to spread all over the place, reaching the house as well!

So when our team went to check up this place in Saint-Lambert-De-Lauzon, they recommended an encapsulation system from a CleanSpace liner, a CleanSpace Drainage Matting to our SaniDry Cx dehumidifier.

The CleanSpace membrane is a vapor barrier that blocks water infiltrations and vapors. The membrane is ultra-resistant and contains a non-toxic antibacterial that blocks the proliferation of bacteria.

PROBLEM

Lots of water infiltration within a crawlspace, which promoted mold growth. Additionally, the floor in his house was sloping, indicating sagging issues. Entering into the crawlspace, our specialist noticed the unpleasant odor caused by excess moisture and mold. He explained that this critical condition in the crawlspace had weakened the rim joist, which consequently caused the floor to sag. The solution lies in stabilizing the floor and encapsulating the crawlspace, which will eliminate harmful moisture. Action must be taken as soon as possible to prevent further structural damage that could even affect the foundation of the house.

SOLUTION

Encapsulation of the crawlspace using the CleanSpace system. This involves covering the floor with two complementary membranes:

- The drainage membrane, equipped with a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the drainage or sump pump.

- The vapor barrier that prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive moisture. It also includes an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold from growing.

Regarding floor stabilization, implementing the SmartJack system. In this case, it involved installing five galvanized steel columns. These columns are adjustable depending on the dimension of the crawl space in question. Moreover, galvanized steel is corrosion-resistant, ensuring the durability of this system. Furthermore, the installation of the columns is quick, with minimal disruption to the house.

When your crawl space is suffering from rot, mold, and moisture damage, the key to preventing new damage is to encapsulate the place and dry it.

Our company can waterproof, dry, and insulate your crawl space, converting it into a healthier, longer-lasting space that can be used for storage.

This crawl space in Ange-Guardien has been encapsulated completely by our team.

For several years, Suzanne's crawl space was wet and the earthen floor was often wet, as her sump pump only was not enough to remove water from the ground. It affected the comfort of his home, as the moisture that was in the crawl space spread throughout the house. She wanted to have her crawl space insulated as the odor and discomfort of the humidity began to bother her.

To solve Suzanne's problem, our experts installed our TripleSafe sump pump, they covered the earth floor with a polyethylene drainage membrane and then installed ourCleanSpace membrane.

- TripleSafe sump pump: this is our most efficient pump as it contains 3 pumps, one of which is powered by a battery in the event of a power failure.

- Polyethylene membrane: it directs the water from the ground that ends up on the surface towards the pump

- CleanSpace membrane: it prevents water vapor from coming out of the ground to spread around your home, allows for a clean and dry crawl space and a safe antimicrobial ingredient is added to our membrane to prevent mold and bacteria to proliferate.

With these 3 elements, Suzanne can have the peace of mind and her crawl space will be dry and clean at all times. She can even use this place as a storage space and find the comfort of her home.

Our client in Quebec City called to have her Crawl Space encapsulated.

In this picture, you can see the big difference between an encapsulated and insulated Crawl Space, and many earth crawl spaces you can find in Quebec.

The insulation helped solve many issues the client had and had improved the home comfort, healthfulness, energy efficiency and value of the house by insulating the upper floors from the cold, making the Crawl Space clean and letting her use the Crawl Space as an additional storage room.
