A customer in Saint-Benjamin was struggling with a crawl space that was causing problems: excessive humidity, unpleasant odors and visible signs of mold. To permanently sanitize the space, we performed complete encapsulation.
The installation of our CleanSpace membrane waterproofed the floor and walls, blocking any rising damp. To complement this, a SmartSump sump pump was installed to efficiently evacuate water, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier now ensures dry, healthy air at all times.
With these combined solutions, the crawl space is now fully protected!
In Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, the customer was dealing with a damp and problematic crawl space, with mold, odors, cold floors, and the risk of wood deterioration. To solve these problems, our team implemented a complete encapsulation solution, combining a drainage matting to remove water and prevent stagnation, CleanSpace® membrane covering the walls and floor to create a waterproof barrier against moisture and contaminants, and a ventilation system and integrated sump pump to ensure a dry, healthy, and permanently protected crawl space. Thanks to this intervention, the customer now benefits from a secure, insulated, and durable space, protected from moisture, odors, and structural damage.
In Saint-Cyprien, our client was dealing with a damp crawl space, with soggy soil, persistent odors, heavy air in the house, and a real risk of mold, wood deterioration, and problems related to excessive moisture. The space contributed to increased indoor humidity, affecting comfort and air quality.
To remedy the situation, we first installed a drainage membrane on the floor to capture water from the ground and efficiently direct it to the drainage point. Next, we completely encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace membrane, creating a waterproof barrier against moisture, water vapor, and infiltration from the ground. To stabilize humidity levels and improve indoor air quality, we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, designed to continuously control humidity and reduce the risk of condensation and odors. Finally, a SmartDrain pump was installed to automatically drain water from under the membrane, preventing future accumulation.
Today, the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected, contributing to better energy performance, protection of the home's structure, and a healthier environment year-round. This project demonstrates the importance of a comprehensive approach combining drainage, encapsulation, dehumidification, and active water management for a sustainably sanitized crawl space in Quebec.
We repaired the basement slab that was sagging at this house in Verdun. Symptoms can be clearly seen in the cracks existing throughout the wooden support columns in the crawl space. By installing our slab piers, we stabilized the slab and the sagging floors in the upper house.
Our client from Hochelage, Montreal started noticing Drywall cracks throughout the house in addition to sagging floors which made him contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec’to have his crawl space encapsulated.
In this picture you can see the big difference between an encapsulated and an uninsulated crawl space.
The insulation helped solve many issues the client had, and had improved the home comfort, healthfulness, energy efficiency and value of the house by insulating the upper floors from the cold, making the Crawl Space clean and letting her use the crawlspace as an additional storage room.
