Before & After Photos

The foundations of this crawl space at Wentworth were threatened by moisture that damaged organic foundations such as pillars and wooden beams. The wet spaces are a favorable place for the proliferation of molds and bacteria.

Water vapor and mold damage organic foundations and put your home at risk, without noticing the harmful effects they can also have on the quality of the air you breathe.

To solve the problem, we installed galvanized steel support pillars and joists that are not affected by moisture and bacteria. They stabilize the house structure once and for all.

We also installed the CleanSpace membrane that blocks water vapor so that the crawl space does not become wet than the acceptable and recommended rate.

Thus, the space is drier and healthier, the structure is protected and restored and the space becomes usable, which brings value to the house!

We have transformed this crawl space in Godmanchester, Qc so that it is no longer wet - We encapsulated it all with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane and waterproofed everything by installing a SmartSump sump pump system.

 At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we install only the best sump pump systems available anywhere in the province of Quebec. We have an answer to clogging sump pumps, power failures, torrential rainfall, and much more!

We are happy to have been able to solve these problems in the crawl space. For a free estimate, do not hesitate to contact us!

PROBLEM

Mr. Bruno's crawl space was uncovered and created humidity in the rest of the house. The client did not want this to affect his family's health in the long term.

 SOLUTION

 Systèmes Sous-sol Québec’s team suggested a solution that guaranteed a dry space all year round. A solution including 3 products; TerraBlock insulation, SmartDrain and CleanSpace encapsulation product.

Our TerraBlock insulation provides a puncture-resistant vapor barrier on all surfaces it covers - one that will not be damaged by water or support the growth of mold, rot, and mildew.

As for the SmartDrain, it is a floor drain installed at the lowest point of the crawl space to intercept water infiltration caused by plumbing leaks.

And finally the CleanSpace will prevent the growth of mold. In addition it is odorless and very safe to use.

In Tres-Saint-Redempteur, Quebec, a crawl space had rim joists that were rotting, resulting in sagging floor above, and creating a risk for the stability of the home. Using our SmartJack System, we stabilized the crawl space beams and floor joists. What specializes our SmartJacks is that they are adjustable to the crawl space's different heights (as shown in the "After" picture). In addition, they are made from galvanized steel, which protects them from rotting.

The owner of this home in Rigaud had noticed that his crawl space had high humidity levels accompanied by a persistent odor. In addition to being unpleasant, these conditions promote mold growth, the proliferation of allergens, material deterioration, and the development of long-term structural problems. They can also compromise indoor air quality throughout the home and lead to higher heating and cooling costs.

To address the situation, he called on our team. After a thorough inspection, we recommended a solution tailored to his needs: the installation of our CleanSpace® encapsulation system, a drainage membrane to effectively manage moisture, the SaniDry Sedona® dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels, and SilverGlo™ insulation to improve the crawl space’s energy efficiency.

With this work completed, the crawl space is now dry, clean, and much better protected against moisture. The homeowner now enjoys a healthier environment, better indoor air quality, and a sustainable solution that helps preserve the value and integrity of his property for years to come.
