It’s always necessary to encapsulate your crawl space. And when our client from Montpellier called us, she told us that she was experiencing high humidity levels, especially during winter times when the floors became colder than normal.
After our free inspection of the place, we knew that the problem was simply the presence of water vapor and high humidity caused by a lack of insulation and floor covering in the crawl space. And so we have recommended a full encapsulation system that will not change the crawl space only but the entire health of the house.
At the start, our production team installed SilverGlo insulation panels on the walls. These panels will reflect the heat into the crawl space. And so the house walls and floors will be less warm.
And then we have covered the soil with a vapor barrier called CleanSpace. This membrane is a 20mil plastic coating composed of several layers of plastic with different characteristics of flexibility and strength. It also has an antibacterial additive that blocks the growth of mold and fungi on the coating.
There are many cities like Saint-Zotique along lakes or streams. Although it is very pleasant during hot summers, it also means that the soils bordering these streams are often full of water. Thus, homes that rest on these floors may be infiltrated with water. This was the case of one of our clients in Saint-Zotique. The water that seeped into his crawl space harmed all this space and the air of the house. To solve this problem, we carried out a project of encapsulation and waterproofing to make this environment waterproof and impermeable. We are pleased to have been able to install our patented CleanSpace (vapor barrier), SmartSump (sump pump system), LawnScape (discharge line) and IceGuard (pipe freeze protection) products. solve this water problem once and for all.
If your foundation is disposed to to condensation or general sogginess such as this basement in Grenville-Sur-La Rouge, we recommend our vapor barrier liner to be installed on your basement walls with our waterproofing system.
The durable liner will work along with our waterproofing system by pushing water along the foundation down into the interior drainage system ‘the Waterguard’ instead of seeping onto the floor.
Mr. Tessier contacted us for a free evaluation to encapsulate his crawl space. There was already insulation, but it was not made with products designed especially for crawl space.
Our specialist Sam went to Saint-Anicet to give this advice and make this submission.
He recommended the installation of our CleanSpace crawl space waterproofing membrane and the SmartDrain drain that will capture the infiltration of water from the earth. All of this is connected to the Sanidry Sedona dehumidification and air purification system. This area is finally dry and clean and contributes to the circulation of clean air throughout the house.
We have waterproofed this basement in Hawkesbury with our WaterGuard interior drain system . Once connected, this products form a highly efficient drainage system that intercepts water from the floor of the basement at the foundation and redirects it away from the foundation of the house.
This system of insulation and waterproofing allows this basement space to block water infiltration and preserve heat, which leads to a reduction in energy consumption costs.
