This crawl space in Hemmingford was not insulated and there was a lot of water leakage and humidity in the area, which was leading to rot and decay that, might eventually weaken structural members and make major architectural repairs necessary.
When we went to check this area, our specialist, therefore, recommended a complete solution to waterproof, isolate, and encapsulate the place.
As a start, we have installed a SmartDrain to collect run-off water at this location and evacuate to the sump pump.
Then we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace membrane which a vapor barrier and contains an antibacterial additive that prevents the proliferation of bacteria and molds.
And finally, we have installed our SaniDry Cx dehumidifier. This innovative system is small enough to fit into most crawl spaces, while its powerful blowing motor and efficient design allow it to effectively dry a basement.
A wet crawl space might be dangerous for the house, for it might affect the whole structure of the place.
Also, mud floors are filled with water and transmit water vapors filled with moisture, bacteria, and mold. As the air flows upwards, the air in the crawl space goes to the upper floors of your home, causing you to breathe infected air.
We have encapsulated and stabilized this crawl space in Hemmingford, by installing our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane. The CleanSpace membrane is composed of 7 layers of treated polyethylene in which an antibacterial additive is added. The membrane is finally treated with an ultra-violet additive in order to extend its resistance and its life span as long as possible. In addition, we installed our SmartJacks that are specially designed for crawl spaces. They support and stabilize your foundations and are adjustable to adapt to the movement of the ground.
Crawl space encapsulation allows this space to be healthier and more useful!

The problem
Mrs. Desjarlaies had humidity problems in her house that came from her earthen crawl space that was not insulated. The relative humidity in the crawl space at the time of the inspection with our specialist was 83.2%. With such high humidity, mold and rot of organic materials develop and the comfort of the house will be affected.
The solution
We installed a new SmartSump sump system, a CleanSpace drainage membrane, and then a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.
With these solutions, the water in the ground will be removed and ejected outside, the humidity coming from the earth floor and the concrete block foundation walls will be blocked thanks to the CleanSpace and the humidity level can be controlled by the dehumidifier.
We encountered a significant challenge within a house in Pointe-Calumet, QC : Moisture and mold were proliferating in an unsealed crawl space. The 'before' photo illustrates conditions that were not only unsightly but posed serious health risks. Our effective solution involved the installation of CleanSpace and SilverGlo systems. The 'after' photo showcases a meticulously transformed space that now effectively protects against moisture infiltration and decay. We did not merely rectify the issue; we implemented a long-lasting solution that ensures the integrity of our client's home and provides them with peace of mind.
