Before & After Photos

A client owning a house in Tring-Jonction, Quebec, was concerned about their crawl space. The humidity was becoming problematic, and the client wanted to address the issue before it worsened. During our inspection, our specialist noticed signs of humidity including the presence of efflorescence, which clearly indicated excess moisture. To resolve the issue, we installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system, which includes a drainage membrane and a high-performance vapor barrier. These two components work together to control humidity, prevent water infiltration, and stop moisture from evaporating from the soil. The crawl space is now fully protected, dry, and secure, ensuring the structural integrity of the home is preserved.

A client in Vallee-Jonction, Quebec had concerns regarding their crawl space, which was experiencing humidity and unpleasant odors. Upon inspection, our specialist identified signs of compromised structural integrity, including presence of mold spores, which is a clear sign of excessive moisture levels within the crawl space.

To resolve the problem, we implemented the CleanSpace encapsulation system, which involved the installation of drainage matting and a high-performance vapor barrier. These two components work synergistically to regulate humidity levels, prevent the infiltration of water, and inhibit the evaporation of moisture from the soil. As a result, the crawl space is now fully encapsulated, dry, and secure, safeguarding the structural integrity of the home.

PROBLEM

Lots of water infiltration within a crawlspace, which promoted mold growth. Additionally, the floor in his house was sloping, indicating sagging issues. Entering into the crawlspace, our specialist noticed the unpleasant odor caused by excess moisture and mold. He explained that this critical condition in the crawlspace had weakened the rim joist, which consequently caused the floor to sag. The solution lies in stabilizing the floor and encapsulating the crawlspace, which will eliminate harmful moisture. Action must be taken as soon as possible to prevent further structural damage that could even affect the foundation of the house.

SOLUTION

Encapsulation of the crawlspace using the CleanSpace system. This involves covering the floor with two complementary membranes:

- The drainage membrane, equipped with a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the drainage or sump pump.

- The vapor barrier that prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive moisture. It also includes an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold from growing.

Regarding floor stabilization, implementing the SmartJack system. In this case, it involved installing five galvanized steel columns. These columns are adjustable depending on the dimension of the crawl space in question. Moreover, galvanized steel is corrosion-resistant, ensuring the durability of this system. Furthermore, the installation of the columns is quick, with minimal disruption to the house.

Before tackling this crawl space repair in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, QC, excess humidity was the culprit behind our customer's concerns. As you can see in the before photo, the damp conditions were anything but ideal. Stepping in, our team installed CleanSpace and SilverGlo, geared towards creating a dry, efficient environment beneath this home. Notice in the after photo how transformed the area looks - a bright, clean, and secure space. This transformation not only restored homeowner peace of mind but also pledged a lasting solution to their home's underground challenges.

We repaired the basement slab that was sagging at this house in Verdun. Symptoms can be clearly seen in the cracks existing throughout the wooden support columns in the crawl space. By installing our slab piers, we stabilized the slab and the sagging floors in the upper house.
