This Côte-Saint-Luc customer needed an assessment from our company for a mold-to-crawl problem. When you see traces of mold in the crawl space, this is a sign that you need to dehumidify the space efficiently and permanently. As the crawl space is a space built in a hole in the ground, the water pressurizes and infiltrates through the ground and pores of the concrete.
Our waterproofing solutions solve these problems at the source. The CleanSpace drainage mat and vapor barrier membrane are installed on the floor to prevent water vapor from escaping into the air. We install on the walls the SilverGlo insulation which is an insulation board composed of graphite particles and which is covered with a radiant barrier to preserve the heat inside. It is a product that saves you a lot of energy consumption. Finally, the SaniDry dehumidifier keeps the space at an optimal relative humidity level. It is a system that empties automatically through a water drain pipe.
If you have a vented crawl space, especially in a humid climate, it most likely has moisture problems.
Moisture might come from several sources, such as uncovered soil, foundation walls, foundation vents and more.
Encapsulating your crawl space with quality products engineered for this space is the best way to keep it dry and clean.

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!
