In our client's residence located in Saint-Jean-de-l'Île-d'Orléans, the crawl space had high humidity levels, insufficient insulation, and signs of deterioration due to its old construction. To remedy the situation, our team performed a complete encapsulation using our CleanSpace membrane. This high-performance system creates a waterproof barrier against moisture while improving the home's air quality and energy efficiency. The crawl space is now clean, dry, and protected against mold, moisture infiltration, and material deterioration. This complete transformation contributes to the health of the home, as well as the daily comfort of its occupants.
This crawl space in Victoriaville was very damp and filled with mold.
Our client knew that he needed to encapsulate it since the air inside was flowing into the upper house, and mold growth was increasing.
Part of keeping your crawl space dry involves installing a CleanSpace water vapor and a SaniDry humidifier.
The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system is a high-duty 7-Layer liner material, like a pool liner. It gets installed across the floor and up the walls in order to stop all water vapor from the walls or soil.
Once the Cleanspace is installed, we needed to install the SaniDry dehumidification system. This system comes in a lower height unit specially made for crawl spaces.
The problem: The client found that she had humidity coming from her crawl space, the windows were often fogged up. In addition, she told us during the inspection that her dehumidifier worked all year round and that was not a good sign.
The solution: For this project, they used CleanSpace and a smartsump in order to considerably reduce the humidity level in this crawl space. They also installed a discharge line with an Iceguard so that the water could be redirected even in winter.
The resident of this house in Quebec City suffered from a very high level of humidity, caused by a non-isolated Crawl Space.
Mrs. Malerie noticed also that the floor was sagging which caused her a deep concern.
As you can see in this picture, we have totally encapsulated the Crawl Space and the foundation.
Moisture, odors and mold had taken hold in the crawl space of this residence in Saint-Camille, compromising comfort and health. To remedy the situation, our team completely encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace system, a highly resistant membrane sealed to the walls and pillars. By controlling humidity, this solution prevents mold growth and protects the structure of the house over the long term
