Before & After Photos

Mr. Moran over time noticed  that there was a high level of humidity in his house, his wooden floors began to warp and an unpleasant smell of mold was circulating in the house. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a permanent and reliable solution!

The problem

Well this is the crawl space!

- Water infiltration

- Lack of insulation

This made the crawl space very humid. The humidity affected the wooden floor causing it to curl slightly, causing this foul odor and affecting our client's comfort in their home.

The solution

- Insulate the walls of the crawl space with our SilverGlo insulating panels.

- Lay our drainage mat on the ground in order to drain the water from the surface to the SmartSump sump pump system that was in place.

- Install our CleanSpace coating designed to block humidity and thus insulate the floor of the house. It also gives a clean and bright appearance to the crawl space.

- Add our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. It filters the air and eliminates moisture.

With this encapsulation solution, Mr. Moran will no longer have a problem with humidity and foul odor. It now has a dry crawl space!

Problem:

Moisture in the basement. The concrete block foundation walls were not insulated and Ms. Ducharme therefore wished to have them insulated.

The efflorescence (white color) on the concrete shows that there has been infiltration of water and humidity through the walls.

 Solution:

Insulate concrete walls with our Foamax insulation panels. Made of high performance polyisocyanurate foam and coated with a white finish on one side and a vapor barrier on the back, Foamax makes the basement warmer and brighter.

Problem

Infiltration of water in the crawl space creating humidity, mold and rot on the wood. Hence the humidity made the house less comfortable.

Solution

Encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace drainage membrane and liner on the floor and walls. And then install a SuperSump sump pump system. Humidity will be reduced or even eliminated, and infiltrating water will be expelled outside the house thanks to our SuperSump pump.

Tucked away in scenic Hampstead, QC, a homeowner faced the chill of a cold crawl space– a common dilemma that disrupts comfort and energy efficiency. Before our intervention, as visible in the photo, the space was bare and unwelcoming. However, transforming a hassle into harmonious living is our forte. By administering our CleanSpace and SilverGlo solutions, we encapsulated and insulated the area, evident in the after photo. Notice the seamless integration, built to last and fortify against the cold, providing both immediate relief and enduring protection. This goes beyond mere repair; it's creating a solid foundation for warmth and energy efficiency, right where it matters.

Our client had a humidity problem in his crawl space. It was so strong that even the joists of the house began to weaken. In order to solve the problem at source, we installed two insulation membranes for the crawl space.

A Drainage Matting to evacuate the water that evaporates from the ground to a sump pump specially designed for crawl spaces. Another membrane (CleanSpace) is placed in order to insulate the crawl space and prevent water vapor from spreading. This membrane reduces humidity in the crawl space and protects the house from mold increasing.

Thanks to Système Sous-sol Québec, our client now benefits from a protected house and a well-insulated crawl space.
