Structural Rehabilitation: Resolving Crawl Space Issues in Rawdon, QC

PROBLEM

Our client Eveline was facing serious issues within her crawlspace, leading to significant structural damage. Water infiltrations from the ground were compromising the integrity of support beams and causing mold growth. The floor was sagging, insinuating for a structural problem. The solution consisted of two crucial steps: Encapsulating the crawl space to eliminate harmful moisture and installing crawlspace jacks to level the sagging floor.

 

SOLUTION

First, we completed the crawlspace encapsulation using the CleanSpace system. This involves covering the floor with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier above. The drainage membrane has a dimpled surface that helps channel infiltrated water towards the drainage or sump pump. The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, eliminating excess humidity. 

Next, we put in place our revolutionary SuperSump sump pump system. This system includes a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, a lid, a tight-sealing drain, and a WaterWatch alarm to prevent potential disasters. To ensure proper thermal insulation of the crawlspace walls, we installed SilverGlo wall insulation panels.

We then installed three SmartJack beams on a precase concrete base. It's important to note that SmartJack beams are made of galvanized steel, eliminating the risk of rust.

The problem:

This Bois-des-Filion customer contacted us so that we could solve his mold problem in his crawl space. This is caused by the high humidity in it. In addition, there was a lot of wood which was rotten and it was necessary to act quickly so that the problem does not get worst.

 

The solution :

One of our certified specialists visited his crawl space and suggested that we need to first remove the mold that was present with our Mold X product. Subsequently, our foreman installed a drainage membrane to facilitate the flow of water.

Following this, we encapsulated this crawl space with our CleanSpace membrane, this membrane mainly serves to prevent water vapor from coming out of the ground and going up to the upper floors. When everything was finished and to maximize the efficiency of the CleanSpace system, our specialist installed our product Sedona SandiDry, which is a high performance dehumidifier. Its goal is to dry out your crawl space as much as possible and reduce the humidity level as much as possible.

Since our intervention, this client from Bois-des-Filion now benefits from a dry crawl space without mold.

We insulated and encapsulated the crawl space in Saint-Lin-Laurentides which was having many problems such as heat loss and wasted energy, water and water vapor infiltrations, moisture, mold, bloom, and more. Then, we eliminated the risks and worries of this resident of Saint-Lin-Laurentides by installing our products SilverGlo and CleanSpace specially designed for crawl spaces.

Crawl space encapsulation in Laval, Qc

Our client had a humidity problem in his crawl space. It was so strong that even the joists of the house began to weaken. In order to solve the problem at source, we installed two insulation membranes for the crawl space.

A Drainage Matting to evacuate the water that evaporates from the ground to a sump pump specially designed for crawl spaces. Another membrane (CleanSpace) is placed in order to insulate the crawl space and prevent water vapor from spreading. This membrane reduces humidity in the crawl space and protects the house from mold increasing.

 

Thanks to Système Sous-sol Québec, our client now benefits from a protected house and a well-insulated crawl space.
