Before & After Photos

Our client Mrs. Annie had a problem with insulating the crawl space of her and contacted us in order to help her find the best solution with the minimum cost.

Our specialist went to our client’s house to provide the best solution with a free estimate. To insulate the crawl space, we used our patented CleanSpace technology and a Drainage mat to cover the dirt. SilverGlo to insulate the foundation walls and a SmartSump drainage system with an IceGuard drain to evacuate water that can accumulate in the crawl space.

Our client now enjoys an isolated crawl space that does not cause problems.

In Saint-Elzéar, our client was looking for a solution to address the problematic conditions in their crawl space. The area was affected by excessive moisture, which could lead to persistent odors, condensation, a feeling of damp air, and conditions conducive to mold growth. Since the crawl space plays a significant role in a home’s comfort and air quality, it was essential to implement a long-term solution rather than a mere temporary fix. Our solution involved creating a better-controlled environment by installing a drainage matting, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a SmartSump® sump pump. The membrane manages water beneath the structure, while the CleanSpace® system seals the crawl space to limit vapor infiltration from the ground. The SmartSump® pump completes the installation by ensuring the efficient removal of collected water.

With this new setup, the crawl space now benefits from better protection against moisture and water infiltration, while helping to preserve the foundation, improve the home’s comfort, and maintain better indoor air quality.

When the crawl space is not isolated from the house and the soil of the area where the house is located is filled with water, the water vapor emerges and humidifies much of the crawl space air.

The best thing to do in order to solve this problem is to contact experts such as our company and encapsulate the whole area.

The process used in this crawl space in Saint-Jacques-Le-Majeur is composed from a CleanSpace liner to lock out any moisture coming in, a SmartDrain to collect water both from plumbing leaks in the home as well as sudden groundwater problems beneath the liner, and SaniDry Cx dehumidifier which is a self-draining system that eliminates the chore of emptying collection trays, while an air filter eliminates particles from the air as small as 2 microns!

PROBLEM

Our client, living in Disraeli, was having problems with his crawl space. In fact, his house is located on the edge of a lake. Thus he had difficulty heating his crawl space. In addition, there was excess humidity, which damaged the air quality in the house.

Our customer visited our website and filled out the form for a free inspection. Our specialist Alain entered the crawlspace for a detailed inspection. He directly noticed the excess humidity through the efflorescence stains on the walls. In addition, there was a bad smell. Alain explained to our client that the solution lies in the encapsulation of the crawlspace, indicating that a crawlspace in such state is very harmful for the house's residents, and on the other hand, it could cause structural damage in the near future.

SOLUTION

The encapsulation of the crawl space consists of installing our CleanSpace system, including two types of covering on the floor: The first drainage membrane equipped with "honeycomb" spaces to be able to retain infiltrated water, and the second membrane will act as a vapor barrier for not allowing  moisture to spread.

Additionally, our revolutionary SilverGlo thermal insulation is installed on crawlspace walls to prevent air from escaping, and subsequently losing temperature.

Finally, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is installed as an additional tool to control humidity.

In Sainte-Agathe-De-Lotbiniere, we inspected a crawl space suffering from elevated humidity levels that were contributing to structural deterioration, persistent odors, and reduced indoor comfort. As anticipated, damaged insulation and poor ventilation played a major role, and we also discovered another frequent crawl space concern: wood rot and sagging floor joists, which can weaken structural integrity and place stress on the foundation over time.

To address these issues and protect the home long-term, we installed SilverGlo™ insulation to enhance thermal efficiency and moisture control. Our CleanSpace® vapor barrier system encapsulated the crawl space to block mold-causing dampness, while Drainage Matting directed excess water toward appropriate drainage points to prevent future accumulation. Finally, the SmartJack® structural support system stabilized weakened beams and reinforced the area, ensuring a stronger, safer, and healthier foundation moving forward.
