Before & After Photos

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!

PROBLEM

Our client, living in Disraeli, was having problems with his crawl space. In fact, his house is located on the edge of a lake. Thus he had difficulty heating his crawl space. In addition, there was excess humidity, which damaged the air quality in the house.

Our customer visited our website and filled out the form for a free inspection. Our specialist Alain entered the crawlspace for a detailed inspection. He directly noticed the excess humidity through the efflorescence stains on the walls. In addition, there was a bad smell. Alain explained to our client that the solution lies in the encapsulation of the crawlspace, indicating that a crawlspace in such state is very harmful for the house's residents, and on the other hand, it could cause structural damage in the near future.

SOLUTION

The encapsulation of the crawl space consists of installing our CleanSpace system, including two types of covering on the floor: The first drainage membrane equipped with "honeycomb" spaces to be able to retain infiltrated water, and the second membrane will act as a vapor barrier for not allowing  moisture to spread.

Additionally, our revolutionary SilverGlo thermal insulation is installed on crawlspace walls to prevent air from escaping, and subsequently losing temperature.

Finally, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is installed as an additional tool to control humidity.

In Sainte-Agathe-De-Lotbiniere, we inspected a crawl space suffering from elevated humidity levels that were contributing to structural deterioration, persistent odors, and reduced indoor comfort. As anticipated, damaged insulation and poor ventilation played a major role, and we also discovered another frequent crawl space concern: wood rot and sagging floor joists, which can weaken structural integrity and place stress on the foundation over time.

To address these issues and protect the home long-term, we installed SilverGlo™ insulation to enhance thermal efficiency and moisture control. Our CleanSpace® vapor barrier system encapsulated the crawl space to block mold-causing dampness, while Drainage Matting directed excess water toward appropriate drainage points to prevent future accumulation. Finally, the SmartJack® structural support system stabilized weakened beams and reinforced the area, ensuring a stronger, safer, and healthier foundation moving forward.

In this home in Saint-Patrice-de-Beaurivage, the crawl space showed several signs of moisture: musty odors, condensation, damp air, and a risk of mold growth. To remedy the situation and protect the home, our team fully encapsulated the crawl space by installing the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System membrane. This durable barrier covers the floor and helps block moisture from the ground, limit the infiltration of humid air, and improve indoor air quality.

We also installed SilverGlo Wall Insulation Panels on the crawl space walls to increase energy efficiency, reduce heat loss, and maintain a more stable temperature in the home. This combination of solutions transforms a damp crawl space into a clean, dry, and better-insulated area, while helping to prevent mold, odors, and moisture issues in the home’s basement and floors.

In Chartierville, a homeowner was facing a common but serious problem: cracks in the walls and floor caused by structural issues in his crawl space. These cracks clearly indicated weaknesses in the foundation and floor support that required immediate attention.

The Systèmes Sous-sol Québec team stepped in and installed the SmartJack® system, a reliable solution designed to stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists. This system straightened the floor, reduced vibrations, and reinforced the structure with a durable galvanized steel frame, providing long-term stability.

Thanks to this professional installation, the owner now enjoys a solid, level, and secure floor with minimal risk of future structural damage. At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we specialize in crawl space stabilization, foundation reinforcement, and structural repair to help homeowners protect their homes and their most valuable spaces.
