Before & After Photos

For several years, Suzanne's crawl space was wet and the earthen floor was often wet, as her sump pump only was not enough to remove water from the ground. It affected the comfort of his home, as the moisture that was in the crawl space spread throughout the house. She wanted to have her crawl space insulated as the odor and discomfort of the humidity began to bother her.

To solve Suzanne's problem, our experts installed our TripleSafe sump pump, they covered the earth floor with a polyethylene drainage membrane and then installed ourCleanSpace membrane.

- TripleSafe sump pump: this is our most efficient pump as it contains 3 pumps, one of which is powered by a battery in the event of a power failure.

- Polyethylene membrane: it directs the water from the ground that ends up on the surface towards the pump

- CleanSpace membrane: it prevents water vapor from coming out of the ground to spread around your home, allows for a clean and dry crawl space and a safe antimicrobial ingredient is added to our membrane to prevent mold and bacteria to proliferate.

With these 3 elements, Suzanne can have the peace of mind and her crawl space will be dry and clean at all times. She can even use this place as a storage space and find the comfort of her home.

When a crawl space is not isolated, accumulated water will humidify all the place and help bacteria to spread all over the place, reaching the house as well!

So when our team went to check up this place in Saint-Lambert-De-Lauzon, they recommended an encapsulation system from a CleanSpace liner, a CleanSpace Drainage Matting to our SaniDry Cx dehumidifier.

The CleanSpace membrane is a vapor barrier that blocks water infiltrations and vapors. The membrane is ultra-resistant and contains a non-toxic antibacterial that blocks the proliferation of bacteria.

Problem

- Bad odors were spreading from the crawlspace.

- Excessive moisture had led to the formation of mold spots, making the air unhealthy.

- The existing pump was not in a sump pit, and struggled to remove infiltrated water.

Solution

- Installation of the SmartSump system: We dug into the ground to install the pump system's receptacle. In addition to the powerful Zoeller pump, the SmartSump system includes a lid and a sealed drain, as well as an alarm to warn in case of potential flooding danger.

- Implementing our perimeter drainage, along with our CleanSpace vapor barrier on top: The perimeter drainage has an alveolus surface that helps transporting infiltrated water to the sump pump. Furthermore, our vapor barrier prevents water from evaporating into the air and inhibits mold growth.

- Installing the SilverGlo thermal insulation on the crawl space walls. It has a radiant barrier that reflects heat inside the crawl space for energy savings.

In Notre-Dame-Des-Bois, a homeowner was facing a serious problem with his crawl space. The area was damp all year round, and the constant moisture had created an environment conducive to the spread of mold and foul odors throughout the house. The wooden joists supporting the floor were softening and beginning to rot, causing the floor above to sag and become uneven. The moisture also attracted pests and insects, while the cold, damp air made the upper floors cold and uncomfortable in winter. In addition, the crawl space was unusable for storage due to water damage and rust on metal components.

To put an end to these problems, our team installed our CleanSpace® encapsulation system, a thick, durable vapor barrier that completely seals the crawl space. To remedy the weakening of the floor structure, we added the SmartJack® support system. These adjustable steel supports were installed on a stable base to raise the sagging floors and permanently reinforce the joists against further damage.

Now the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected, with no risk of mold, pests, or wood rot.

In Sainte-Marie, the owner was facing a persistent moisture problem in his crawl space, a situation that was causing mold, unpleasant odors, and concerns about the structural integrity of his home. The humid air was spreading throughout the rooms, affecting comfort and quality of life inside. To permanently solve this problem, our team intervened with our CleanSpace system, a comprehensive and durable solution. We installed a CleanSpace membrane to effectively seal the floor and walls against moisture, added SilverGlo insulation to improve energy efficiency, and integrated the CleanSpace drainage matting to redirect water and prevent future accumulation. The result has literally transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and well-insulated area, protected from leaks and odors. Thanks to this intervention, the house is healthier, more comfortable, and better protected for years to come.
