Problem:
Or client Dennis had a crawl space that he used only for occasional storage. He didn't think this space could affect the rest of his house until he started to see water seeping.
Solution:
The solution was simple but necessary. A SmartSump pump, a CleanSpace product, an IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet.
The SmartSump has a unique sump pump cover design, so water from a plumbing leak fills an alarm pocket on the lid first; sounding a WaterWatch alarm that will let you know there is a plumbing leak
The CleanSpace membrane is a very resistant vapor barrier. It blocks moisture and contains an antibacterial that prevents mold growth.
The client can now protect his investment and is no longer worried about any spring thaw.
When you receive instructions from your insurance company to repair your crawl space and you do not really know what a crawl space is and how to isolate it, trust specialists who have been doing this for years with products and solutions that have proven themselves.
Thanks to the insulation and encapsulation system, we were able to transform this damaged space into a dry space whose humidity rate meets the respiratory health standard. The crawl space is now more economical, less dirty and usable for storage purposes.
Products included in this installation are: CleanSpace drainage mat, TerraBlock floor insulation, CleanSpace waterproofing membrane, SilverGlo wall insulation, sump pump, CleanSpace ventilation hatch cover, vacuum access door sanitary EverLast and dehumidifier SaniDry Sedona.
This house in Beauharnois had some problems in its crawl space.
The place was very filthy and wet, in addition mold was growing very fast, which was affecting the air in the house as well.
Our team encapsulated this crawl space by installing our waterproofing products such as the SmartSump system and isolated the house from the earth by installing an antibacterial vapor barrier membrane that prevents all water vapors and bacteria from infiltrating and infecting the air.
Finally we added our SaniDry system in order to dehumidify the air.
This product is specially designed for crawl spaces.
When water seeps into the crawl space and gets stuck, the water evaporates into the air and humidifies the basement.
This is the case of our client’s crawl space in Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, that had a 79% level of humidity in the place, in addition to a wet and dirty area all the time.
Our team recommended a waterproofing solution and that would solve the problem of infiltration of water and moisture.
We installed the WaterGuard Interior Drain on the perimeter where there was a footing at the foundation and covered the concrete walls with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane that blocks moisture.
The foundations of this crawl space at Wentworth were threatened by moisture that damaged organic foundations such as pillars and wooden beams. The wet spaces are a favorable place for the proliferation of molds and bacteria.
Water vapor and mold damage organic foundations and put your home at risk, without noticing the harmful effects they can also have on the quality of the air you breathe.
To solve the problem, we installed galvanized steel support pillars and joists that are not affected by moisture and bacteria. They stabilize the house structure once and for all.
We also installed the CleanSpace membrane that blocks water vapor so that the crawl space does not become wet than the acceptable and recommended rate.
Thus, the space is drier and healthier, the structure is protected and restored and the space becomes usable, which brings value to the house!
