Before our intervention, the owner was dealing with water infiltration from the garage drain, causing high humidity, condensation, unpleasant odors, and poor insulation in the crawl space. These problems caused discomfort, increased energy bills, and the risk of structural damage. To remedy this, the Systèmes Sous-sol Québec team installed CleanSpace™ drainage membrane and vapor barrier, along with SilverGlo™ wall insulation. The drainage matting facilitates water flow to the perimeter drainage or sump pump thanks to its honeycomb surface, while improving the durability of the encapsulation system. The CleanSpace™ vapor barrier, composed of seven layers and an UltraFresh antimicrobial additive, blocks moisture and prevents mold growth, wood rot, and groundwater infiltration. Combined with SilverGlo™ insulation, these solutions have transformed the crawl space into a dry, well-insulated, and durable space, ensuring a healthier, more energy-efficient, and moisture-protected home, illustrating Systèmes Sous-sol Québec's expertise in crawl space encapsulation and repair throughout the province.
If your foundation is disposed to to condensation or general sogginess such as this basement in Grenville-Sur-La Rouge, we recommend our vapor barrier liner to be installed on your basement walls with our waterproofing system.
The durable liner will work along with our waterproofing system by pushing water along the foundation down into the interior drainage system ‘the Waterguard’ instead of seeping onto the floor.
Our client from Saint-Urban-Premier called us regarding his damp crawl space.
This crawl space was so damp; the main beam was so wet and rotting so badly and became so loose due to moisture presence. It also had large mold growing all over it.
We knew right away that his place needs to be stabilized, so we suggested installing our SmartJack system which is a high-capacity, fully-adjustable steel pier, designed to stop settling and can raise your sagging floor back to the proper level.
In addition we suggested the installation of our CleanSpace vapor barrier that prevent moisture elevation and mold growth.
After the installation, this crawl space couldn’t be healthier and our client was very satisfied with the results.
We have waterproofed this basement in Hawkesbury with our WaterGuard interior drain system . Once connected, this products form a highly efficient drainage system that intercepts water from the floor of the basement at the foundation and redirects it away from the foundation of the house.
This system of insulation and waterproofing allows this basement space to block water infiltration and preserve heat, which leads to a reduction in energy consumption costs.
A dry crawl space invites unwanted pests such as insects, dust mites, and spiders. In addition moist will form and aggravate in the area. This affects the airflow throughout your home and moves the spores in the void to the upper floors of your home.
This is why we have encapsulated and dehumidified the crawl space of our customer from Hawkesbury. Our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier and a Smart sump pump and solved the problem permanently.
