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.

Here is another wet crawl space but this time it’s in Coteau-Du-Lac, Qc.

Our client was complaining about the damp area and the mold growth that was spreading into his house.

After her call and the place inspection, we recommended him to install a CleanSpace membrane to block water vapor; a TerroBlock insulation system that is specially made for crawl spaces, and finally a SmartSump pump to pump all the water out of the area and reduce the moisture in the place.

We have encapsulated and waterproofed this crawl space in Clarenceville that was undergoing many problems such as heat loss and wasted energy, water infiltration, mold and more.

By installing our CleanSpace Liner to solve the problems of water vapor, our CleanSpace matting to collect water from the crawl space floor and direct it to the SmartDrain, the place is now totally sealed.

We have encapsulated this crawl space in Coteau Du Lac and transformed it from an earthen place with moist air into a dry, clean and bright space that can be used for useful purposes.

This has added more usable space to this home and increased its value.

Now our client uses it to store his seasonal items since the air has become dry and of better quality because the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane contains an antibacterial additive that prevents the formation and proliferation of bacteria and molds and blocks water vapor.

So the air that moves from the crawl space to the upper floors is now healthy.
