Before & After Photos

Problem:

Or client Dennis had a crawl space that he used only for occasional storage. He didn't think this space could affect the rest of his house until he started to see water seeping.

Solution:

The solution was simple but necessary. A SmartSump pump, a CleanSpace product, an IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet.

The SmartSump has a unique sump pump cover design, so water from a plumbing leak fills an alarm pocket on the lid first; sounding a WaterWatch alarm that will let you know there is a plumbing leak

The CleanSpace membrane is a very resistant vapor barrier. It blocks moisture and contains an antibacterial that prevents mold growth.

The client can now protect his investment and is no longer worried about any spring thaw.

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.
