Before & After Photos

In L'Ange-Gardien, a homeowner was dealing with persistent moisture infiltration in their crawl space—a condition prone to compromising both structural integrity and indoor air quality. Recognizing the urgent need for remediation, our team employed the advanced CleanSpace encapsulation system, a comprehensive solution engineered to create a durable, moisture-impermeable barrier. This system features a 20-mil, antimicrobial-treated vapor barrier liner, meticulously sealed along all walls, piers, and penetrations, effectively mitigating vapor transmission from the soil. The "after" photo reveals a transformed environment, showcasing the high-performance encapsulation and a measurable improvement in air quality.

PROBLEM

There was an unfinished part within the basement, resembling a crawlspace, was excessive humidity with uncomfortable odors. We identified several mold spots, as well as efflorescence. 

SOLUTION

1) Encapsulation of the problematic area to eliminate harmful moisture and the installation of a sump pump.

CleanSpace system: It involves covering the floor and walls with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier above. The drainage membrane has a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the sump pump. The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive humidity. This barrier also includes an antimicrobial additive, preventing mold growth.

Installing SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, a pump liner, a cover, a sealed sump basin, and a WaterWatch alarm to prevent any potential disasters.

We have transformed this crawl space in Godmanchester, Qc so that it is no longer wet - We encapsulated it all with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane and waterproofed everything by installing a SmartSump sump pump system.

 At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we install only the best sump pump systems available anywhere in the province of Quebec. We have an answer to clogging sump pumps, power failures, torrential rainfall, and much more!

We are happy to have been able to solve these problems in the crawl space. For a free estimate, do not hesitate to contact us!

PROBLEM

Mr. Bruno's crawl space was uncovered and created humidity in the rest of the house. The client did not want this to affect his family's health in the long term.

 SOLUTION

 Systèmes Sous-sol Québec’s team suggested a solution that guaranteed a dry space all year round. A solution including 3 products; TerraBlock insulation, SmartDrain and CleanSpace encapsulation product.

Our TerraBlock insulation provides a puncture-resistant vapor barrier on all surfaces it covers - one that will not be damaged by water or support the growth of mold, rot, and mildew.

As for the SmartDrain, it is a floor drain installed at the lowest point of the crawl space to intercept water infiltration caused by plumbing leaks.

And finally the CleanSpace will prevent the growth of mold. In addition it is odorless and very safe to use.

PROBLEM

A house in Papineauville had a damp crawl space. There were water infiltrations coming from the walls, which caused mold growth. During our free inspection, our specialist Houssem took care of the visit. Descending into the crawl space, he was able to identify mold, causing an unpleasant odor. Serious structural damage that could even affect the foundation of the house could occur in case no action was taken.

SOLUTION

Encapsulation of the crawl space using the CleanSpace system. This involves covering the crawl space floor with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier on top:

The drainage membrane has a cellular surface that helps transport infiltrated water towards the drainage or sump pump.

- The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thereby eliminating excessive humidity. It also includes an antimicrobial additive that prevents mold growth.

- To ensure good thermal insulation of the crawl space walls, we installed SilverGlo wall insulation panels. In addition to resisting thermal conduction, SilverGlo panels have a radiant barrier that reflects heat inside the crawl space for energy savings.
