Before & After Photos

In the before photo, you'll notice the challenge we faced: A damp crawl space in Cookshire-Eaton, QC, that made a homeowner reach out to us. Moisture not only threatened the home's structure but the air quality as well. Enter our solution – as seen in the after photo. We installed CleanSpace, an innovative barrier that locks out moisture, include a drainage matting, as well as a vapor barrier. Together, these products transformed the crawl space into a dry, healthier part of the home. Our mission was accomplished by providing a remarkable customer experience and ensuring a lasting solution to the problem.

In Sawyerville, Quebec, a homeowner faced the challenge of dealing with rotting joists caused by excessive moisture in the crawl space. As you can see in the before photo, the damage was evident, and the need for a solution was pressing. We addressed this issue by installing our CleanSpace Drainage Matting, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and SilverGlo Pannels. Our CleanSpace system effectively sealed the space to prevent excess moisture from entering the crawl space, while SilverGlo insulated and added a radiant heat barrier. The after photo showcases a transformed crawl space, ensuring a dry, secure foundation, free from moisture and its harmful effects.

Mr. Dallaire has lived in his house since 2008. Over time, he noticed that the humidity level in his house was very high, a foul odor was present in the rooms of the house and there were traces of mold in some area of the place.He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, because he was no longer comfortable in his house and wanted to fix the situation quickly.

Mr. Dallaire had never been in his crawl space since he bought the house and yet it was the cause of all his problems.

Our experts went to the site to isolate the crawl space.

1. They first installed SilverGlo insulation panels on the crawl space walls.

2. Next they installed 3/4 inch TerraBlock insulation sheets. These sheets are installed on the ground and adjust according to the ground and will  insulate the crawl space. SilverGlo Panels and Terrablock Sheets combined together are the ideal option for achieving the best possible energy efficiency. You will keep the cold outside and the heat inside your crawl space!

3. To finalize the whole thing, they put our CleanSpace membrane to cover and protect the Terrablock and thus provide an isolated and dry environment.

With this solution, the customer was able to notice very quickly that the humidity in his house had decreased considerably and the unpleasant smell was gone. Not to mention that he now had a clean, dry crawl space!

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.

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!
