The problem:
This Bois-des-Filion customer contacted us in order to solve the mold problem in his crawl space which is caused by high humidity. In addition, there was a lot of wood which was rotten so, it was necessary to act quickly so that the problem did not worsen.
The solution :
One of our certified specialists visited his crawl space and suggested that he needed to first remove the mold that was present with our Mold X product. Then, our foreman installed a drainage membrane to facilitate the flow of water.
Following this, our specialist encapsulated his crawl space with our CleanSpace membrane, this membrane mainly serves to prevent water vapor from coming out of the ground and going up to the upper floors. When everything was done, and to maximize the efficiency of the CleanSpace system, our specialist installed our product Sedona SandiDry, which is a high performance dehumidifier. Its goal is to dry out your crawl space as much as possible and reduce the humidity level as much as possible.
Since our intervention, this client from Bois-des-Filion now benefits from a dry crawl space without mold.
We insulated and encapsulated the crawl space in Saint-Lin-Laurentides which was having many problems such as heat loss and wasted energy, water and water vapor infiltrations, moisture, mold, bloom, and more. Then, we eliminated the risks and worries of this resident of Saint-Lin-Laurentides by installing our products SilverGlo and CleanSpace specially designed for crawl spaces.
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.
Our client who lives in Laval contacted our company and asked us to inspect her crawl space after she had seen our work on her neighbor's house.
During our team inspection, our specialist Jerry found many areas where mold had been growing in addition to extreme moisture. So he suggested the installation of our CleanSpace system that will be sealed to separate the house from the ground. An antimicrobial ingredient is present in the vapor barrier to prevent bacteria from reproducing.
Our client was very happy with the work done and can now rest easy knowing there is no more mold or moisture under her home!
Whenever we work on the waterproofing and encapsulation of a crawl space, we are happy to see how this space is transformed from an earthen place with moist air into a dry, clean and bright space that can be used for useful purposes. This adds more usable space to your home and increases its value. Not only can you use it to store your seasonal items, but the air becomes dry and of better quality because the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane contains an antibacterial additive that prevents the formation and proliferation of bacteria and molds and blocks water vapor. Thus, the air that moves from your crawl space to the upper floors is healthy for your health. We are happy to have completed another crawl space encapsulation project in Sainte-Dorothée!
