Before & After Photos

Problem

Mr. Damien, who lives in Granby QC, had concerns regarding his crawlspace. Its floor was still dirt, and it was not waterproofed, causing moisture problems in his home. After filling out the free estimation form on our website, we quickly scheduled an appointment for a specialist to come and inspect his crawlspace. Our specialist Nickolas went to Granby to conduct the inspection. He deduced that the best plan would be to encapsulate the crawlspace to prevent moisture from entering and deteriorating the atmosphere in his home.

Solution

Our team of workers went to Mr. Damien's residence. They first laid down the CleanSpace crawlspace drainage membrane on the entire crawlspace floor. This drainage system is designed to collect water from the crawlspace floor and direct it towards the SmartDrain. The WaterWatch alarm, which is part of this drain, could help identify potential plumbing leaks. They then installed a layer of the CleanSpace vapor barrier over the drainage membrane. This product was created as a super durable plastic sheet that will permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from entering the crawlspace.

Our client can now enjoy living inside his home without the need to worry about the bad consequences of an unencapsulated crawlspace. Another job well done by our team at Basement Systems Quebec.

Mrs. Cuff wanted like to use her crawl space for storage, but it was very humid. Since she wanted to keep her belongings in good condition and avoid mold, she wanted to find a solution. So, she decided to contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to resolve the humidity problem quickly.

The solution for our client was to first install a SmartSump sump pump system. It is connected with a discharge line which will expel the water away from the foundation of the house. Then, a drainage mat was placed on the ground so that the water that ends up on the surface goes directly to the SmartSump. Finally, our CleanSpace coating is installed over the drainage mat. Material with a thickness of 20 mm composed of polyethylene and antimicrobial, it blocks moisture from the soil and prevents the proliferation of mold. It also gives a clear and bright appearance to the crawl space.

With this solution, Mrs. Cuff will be able to use her crawl space as storage space and above all have a dry crawl space!

Mr. Woods has an earthen crawl space with several problems:

- Water infiltration

- Humidity

- Mold

When it rains or during spring, water infiltrates in his crawl space creating a lot of humidity and mold over time. Another source of moisture is the earthen ground. The water in the soil evaporates creating moisture.

All of This has affected the comfort of his home, as his floors were cold and there was a smell of dampness in the house.So he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol in order to isolate his crawl space and resolve his problems definitively.

The solution

First, the mold on the wooden walls was removed with our Mold-X product. Then, our experts installed our SilverGlo insulation panels on the walls of the crawl space. 2 '' thick panels with radiant barrier to isolate the cold and reflect heat inside the crawl space. They then laid our TerraBlock insulation sheets on the earthen floor. They made it possible to insulate the crawl space and protect it against humidity. Finally, our experts installed our CleanSpace coating on top of the TerraBlock. Moisture is therefore blocked, it protects the TerraBlock insulation sheets and crawl space into a clear and clean appearance.

Problem

Ms. Forster recently purchased a property with a few crawl space issues:

• Damp, moldy smell in the house

• High level of humidity in the house

• Cold main floor during winter

Solution

• Encapsulation of the crawl space with our drainage membrane and CleanSpace coating

• Wall insulation with our SilverGlo panels

This is another crawl space that was suffering from water infiltration.

When water had invaded the place, it had affected badly on the floors in too many areas, causing it to sag. 

We have solved this crawl space problems by installing a drainage membrane on the floor to help water find its way to the drainage system. Then, we covered the floor with a CleanSpace membrane, which mainly serves to prevent water vapor from leaving the floor and rising to the upper floors. Next, we installed SmartJack systems, which are galvanized steel beams used to support the sagging floor. Finally,we had installed SmartDrain drainage systems, which are used to get rid of infiltrating water.

Now that our work is done, the place is completely encapsulated!
