Before & After Photos

The problem

Mr. Cloghesy had an earthen crawl space which was very wet. Moisture from the crawl space spreads to upper floors and sometimes creates a foul odor. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to install a vapor barrier in his crawl space in order to regain the comfort of his home and use the space as storage.

The solution

 Install our drainage membrane as well as our CleanSpace coating. The drainage membrane is installed on the earthen floor, it creates a drainage space for water to flow to the interior French drain or sump pump system. Ideal for covering earthen and rocky ground, it creates an air space which acts as a thermal cushion giving a certain insulation value. Next, our 20mm thick CleanSpace liner is a blend of high and low density polyethylene making it puncture resistant and flexible. It thus blocks moisture from the basement and gives a clear and clean appearance to the void.

Before diving into this cozy renovation in Saint-Cuthbert, QC, our homeowner faced a common issue - a cold crawl space that was affecting their home's overall comfort and energy efficiency. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the space was exposed, allowing cold air and moisture to enter freely. The transformation you see in the 'after' photo was achieved with our CleanSpace technology. This innovative solution seals the area, dramatically improving insulation and air quality, thereby enhancing the homeowner's comfort and reducing energy bills. Through this project, we lived up to our mission - delivering not just a solution, but a remarkable customer experience and a reliable, long-lasting answer to the problem at hand.

In Pierrefonds, this homeowner faced a common yet troublesome issue - a damp crawlspace, which can be seen in the before photo displaying signs of moisture and possible damage risks. Fortunately, our team stepped in with a seamless solution. On the floor we installed CleanSpace drainage matting and TerraBlock since the temperature fluctuation was significant. And on the walls we installed SilverGlo thermal insulation. As noticed in the after photo, we transformed the previously damp and neglected crawlspace into a dry, energy-efficient, and healthy area under the home. This upgrade not only solved the current moisture problem but also provided a durable solution that supports a healthier living environment above.

Problem:

Moisture in the basement. The concrete block foundation walls were not insulated and Ms. Ducharme therefore wished to have them insulated.

The efflorescence (white color) on the concrete shows that there has been infiltration of water and humidity through the walls.

 Solution:

Insulate concrete walls with our Foamax insulation panels. Made of high performance polyisocyanurate foam and coated with a white finish on one side and a vapor barrier on the back, Foamax makes the basement warmer and brighter.

In Pointe-Claire, QC, a homeowner reached out to us about a cold crawl space that made their home less comfortable and efficient. As you can see in the before photo, the area was uninviting and poorly insulated. After our team stepped in, notice the transformation in the after photo. We installed CleanSpace to add protection and SilverGlo for top-notch insulation, providing not only a warmer space but also improving the overall home efficiency and comfort. Through our effective solutions, we ensured a remarkable and long-lasting result, addressing the homeowner’s concerns with a reliable fix.
