Before & After Photos

Our client complained about a cold and wet crawl space. He felt his floors were very cold and smelled unpleasantly damp. The crawl space was very poorly insulated, cold and humid.

The difficulty our experts faced was isolating an uneven ground. Rigid and inflexible insulation could not have worked there. Our experts installed our 3/4 inch TerraBlock insulation sheets. These sheets are placed on the ground and mold to the ground and allow the crawl space to be isolated. To finalize it,  they coated the TerraBlock with our 20ml thick CleanSpace coating. It is made of a high density polyethylene blend for flexibility and strong strength. The white finish brightens the crawl space and makes it clean.

Thanks to this solution, our client will no longer have cold floors and no foul odor. It will have a dry and clean crawl space!

Problem

Mrs. Trottier had moisture problems in her crawl space. A rate of 82% was detected during the free inspection due to water infiltration problems.

Solution

Encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace drainage membrane and liner. And then, install a sump pump system that is efficient, reliable and will work even in the case of a power outage.

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.

PROBLEM

The client was unaware of the state of her crawl space in the first years after moving in. Once she saw the space, filled with iron ochre, she got worried. She decided to contact us.

SOLUTION

It was essential to install a pump since the iron ochre had blocked the existing drains, creating water infiltration. We also opted for the CleanSpace product, so Mrs. Nathalie could enjoy a clean crawl space. She now feels reassured that the crawl space will be efficient in her home in Saint-Calixte, QC.

Ms. Pépin discovered an important humidity problem in her crawlspace at her Saint-Julienne house, when she got it inspected after putting it up for sale. Her sump pump system turned out to be unreliable and caused a lot of water infiltration as well.

She contacted Systèmes Sous-sol to find a solution to her sump pump problem.

To solve Ms. Pépin's humidity and water problems, our team of basement experts installed a new SmartSump sump pump system featuring a ⅓ HP Zoeller cast iron main pump capable of pumping 9,465 liters of water per hour at a height of 5 feet.

In order to waterproof her crawlspace better, our team installed as well an EZ flow crawlspace drain after digging a trench all along her foundation walls. This drain similar to a French Drain installed on the inside of a crawlspace, captures the water that could accumulate or infiltrate away from the sump pump and then directs that water to the SmartSump sump pump when the water cannot flow by itself to the pump.

Finally, our team installed our CleanSpace membrane which insulates the house from the earth and blocks out moisture. Cleanspace also gives a clear and clean appearance to the crawl space.
