A damp basement and an aging pumping system can quickly become a source of concern for homeowners. In Saint-Fabien-de-Panet, signs of moisture and the condition of the existing system highlighted the importance of upgrading the water drainage system to better protect the home.
To improve water management, Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec installed three essential components: a SuperSump sump pump, an IceGuard freeze protection system, and a discharge line to carry water outside.
The SuperSump pump collects and discharges water that has accumulated in the sump pit. Meanwhile, the IceGuard system provides additional protection when the discharge outlet is at risk of being blocked by freezing or other obstructions. The discharge line then carries the water away from the foundation, helping to limit water buildup near the house.
This installation modernizes the pumping system and improves protection for the basement against risks associated with water infiltration. Effective water management is essential for preserving the foundation, minimizing water damage, and promoting a drier, healthier indoor environment.
At this Sainte-Sabine home, the crawl space was dealing with water intrusion and severe fungal growth, with mold climbing 3-4 feet up the wooden beams, as seen in the "before" photo. To eliminate moisture and prevent future damage, our team installed a comprehensive solution featuring CleanSpace, SilverGlo, SmartDrain™, and Mold-X2.
CleanSpace sealed the crawl space with a durable vapor barrier, while SilverGlo provided superior insulation, keeping the space dry and energy-efficient. To prevent plumbing leaks from going unnoticed, we installed SmartDrain™, complete with a built-in alarm for early detection. Finally, we treated the mold-affected areas with Mold-X2 Stain Remover, followed by Mold-X2 Botanical to prevent regrowth.
The "after" photo showcases a dry, insulated, and fungus-free crawl space, ensuring a healthier and safer home. This transformation perfectly reflects our mission: delivering lasting solutions and exceptional customer service!
In Sainte-Sabine, a homeowner wrestled with a crawl space filled with moldy beams and constant moisture. At a height of just 3–4 feet, effective encapsulation was crucial. In the "before" photo, you can clearly see the signs of ongoing moisture issues contributing to mold growth and poor air quality.
To begin the transformation, our team applied Mold-X2 to treat and neutralize the mold on wood surfaces, helping restore a healthier environment. We then installed the CleanSpace® system, fully encapsulating the area to block out ground moisture. CleanSpace™ Drainage Matting was laid beneath the liner to direct any water efficiently toward the drainage path. To detect and handle potential plumbing leaks, a SmartDrain™ system was added; offering peace of mind through its built-in alarm and smart drainage redirection.
For improved energy efficiency and year-round dryness, we also installed SilverGlo™ insulation along the crawl space walls.
In the “after” photo, the crawl space is completely transformed; clean, dry, and mold-free. This solution not only protects the home’s structure but also supports healthier indoor air and better energy performance.
High humidity and a weakened beam threatened this crawl space in Saint-Jacques-Le-Majeur, with obvious signs of water damage and mold. Our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec tackled the problem head-on after a detailed inspection, installing our CleanSpace encapsulation system to create a durable barrier against moisture. We added the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and SmartDrain system to keep the space dry and healthy, ensuring effective water management and long-term protection. The “after” photo shows a transformed, clean, dry, and secure crawl space that protects the structure of the home and indoor air quality for years to come.
Mr. Robert contacted us because he needed help with moisture problems in his crawlspace. Upon arriving at the free inspection, we found that the best solution was to encapsulate his crawlspace with the CleanSpace vapor barrier. To start, our team removed the debris from the crawlspace. They then installed the drainage mat, followed by the CleanSpace vapor barrier. Finally, they installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a SmartDrain drain system to ensure good humidity and prevent flooding.
