Before & After Photos

The moldy smell in this crawl space in Gore warned the owners of this house of its bad conditions. The main causes of moldy smells like these are humidity and moisture leaking in.

In order to stop those problems, our clients contacted our company and we installed a vapor barrier system that prevents water from entering.

The after photo shows clearly the solution our company provided ‘the CleanSpace system’.

The liner was installed very well to both the floor and walls preventing any possible water infiltration. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will not be penetrated by moisture or humidity ever again!

Before tackling this homeowner's challenge in Gore, QC, excess humidity in the crawl space was more than just a minor inconvenience; it was a homeowner's nightmare. As you can see in the before photo, the condition was far from ideal, posing potential threats to the home's structure and air quality. Fortunately, our team stepped in with our SmartJack and CleanSpace systems. The after photo proudly showcases a transformed, dry, and stable environment. By addressing the root problem head-on, we provided not just a fix, but peace of mind and a testament to our commitment to delivering reliable, lasting solutions. This experience is a clear illustration of how we turn a home's problem into a problem solved.

We had the chance to do a basement waterproofing on a ''pony wall '' foundation. Water seeped through the cracks in the concrete blocks. In order to block the cracks, we installed a WaterGuard interior drain at the bottom of the footing so that the water would drain to the drain and then drain away from the house. Our team has also encapsulated this sole to block the water vapor so that it is redirected to the drain and to prevent dampening of the space.

We have encapsulated this crawl space in Saint-Saveur through isolating the house from the ground with the CleanSpace vapor barrier and installing the SmartDrain that allows the crawl space to be protected in case of a plumbing leak by intercepting the water and alarming you with the problem.

Mr. Rees has lived in his house for 3 years. He noticed that there was mold in his crawl space and that there was an unpleasant smell in the house. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to fix the situation quickly so that it would not get worse.

 Once the free inspection was completed by our specialist, he found the following issues:

 - Water infiltration on the floor of the crawl space

 - Pump not sufficient to remove water from the crawl space

 - Very humid crawl space

 - Mold on wood and rusty pipes in the crawl space.

What our experts did? They removed all the debris that were in the crawl space, installed our SmartSump sump pump, placed our membrane on the ground that allows water to drain on the ground surface to the sump pump, installed our liner Cleanspace over the membrane and then connected our Sanidry dehumidifier.

With all of these elements, mold growth is eliminated and Mr Rees' crawl space is dry and clean! The foul odor will thus disappear and he will be able to find the comfort in his home.
