In Pointe-Claire, QC, a homeowner reached out to us about a cold crawl space that made their home less comfortable and efficient. As you can see in the before photo, the area was uninviting and poorly insulated. After our team stepped in, notice the transformation in the after photo. We installed CleanSpace to add protection and SilverGlo for top-notch insulation, providing not only a warmer space but also improving the overall home efficiency and comfort. Through our effective solutions, we ensured a remarkable and long-lasting result, addressing the homeowner’s concerns with a reliable fix.
A client from Pointe-Claire, QC called us to let us know of his concerns about his crawl space. He noticed that moisture was forming on the support beams in his crawlspace and that the beams were sagging.
The experienced specialist Mike Costello went to the client’s house and advised him to install SmartJacks to support the sagging joists as well as to encapsulate his crawl space with a Cleanspace membrane, in order to prevent the humidity problem from persisting.
The customer is now very satisfied with the work of the team and is very reassured.
Having a house by the water is nice. But when water and water vapors affect the humidity of the house, it is less pleasant. For this reason, this owner has contacted us so we can meet him with one of our certified specialists in basement waterproofing and crawl space encapsulation. So we sent Jerry who has been working with us for a long time. Jerry noticed that there was no damage and that it would be enough to encapsulate this void.
Our foreman Jonathan and his team began by removing all the debris from the crawlspace. Then, they installed a drainage mat and encapsulated the vacuum with the CleanSpace vapors barrier membrane. This product is the most effective on the market. It is composed of 7 layers and is therefore extremely resistant. An antibacterial additive is injected in to block the growth of mold. This product is specially designed for the basement environment and we are very proud of it. This client can now use the crawl space for useful purposes.
The crawl space of this home in Saint-Liguori had several issues that could affect the home’s comfort and durability. Moisture that had accumulated beneath the structure created a cold, stuffy atmosphere, accompanied by lingering odors and condensation. The lack of insulation and the exposed soil also contributed to heat loss, as well as the risk of mold and material deterioration over time.
To address these issues, our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec installed a drainage membrane to better control the water beneath the building and efficiently redirect it to the SuperSump system. This sump pump ensures reliable water removal and helps keep the space drier year-round. We then proceeded to fully encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace lining, designed to limit water vapor movement and protect the space from excessive moisture. SilverGlo insulation was also added to the walls to improve energy efficiency and reduce temperature fluctuations in the home. To complete the system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain a stable humidity level and improve indoor air quality.
Mr. Trepanier from Chertsey, Quebec, contacted us seeking a full crawl space repair. Following a free inspection, our specialist, Alexandrine, recommended a solution involving encapsulation, a new sump pump system, a dehumidifier, and the installation of a new exterior drainage system. Our dedicated team executed the plan by installing the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Drainage Matting System, SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump system, CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, SaniDry™ Dehumidifier, and IceGuard® and LawnScape Outlet to ensure efficient water management. With the expertise of Basement Systems Quebec, our client can now enjoy peace of mind, free from concerns about a flooded crawl space.
