Before & After Photos

Mr. Stuckey contacted us for a free evaluation to encapsulate his crawl space.

The crawl space was so terrible, all the floors were wet and contaminated water had been accumulating throughout all the year, allowing all the bacteria and mold to grow in the place.

Our specialist Sam went to Howick to give this advice and make this submission.

He recommended the installation of our CleanSpace crawl space waterproofing membrane and the SmartSump pump system to pump all the water out.

This area is finally dry and clean!

PROBLEM

Our client Mr. Grant had wanted to sell his house a while ago. He found that he was not getting exactly the offers he expected. When he received the report that one of the potential clients had made with an inspector, he saw that what most affected the amount was the disturbing state of the crawl space. Indeed, the amount of water that infiltrated on a frequent basis and the materials left with mold cooled many buyers, with a good reason.

SOLUTION

Thanks to our free and complete quote, the customer immediately had their questions answered. He now had a plan of action to finally sell his house, at the desired value. Given the state of the crawl space, our team went there with a SmartSump pump, to keep the crawl space dry. Then we encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace and Drainage Matting. The water can now be redirected to the pump. Homeowners can now enjoy a dry space.

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.
