Encapsulation of a crawl space in Gore, Qc
The moldy smell in this crawl space in Gore warned the owners of this house of its bad conditions. The main causes of moldy smells like these are humidity and moisture leaking in.
In order to stop those problems, our clients contacted our company and we installed a vapor barrier system that prevents water from entering.
The after photo shows clearly the solution our company provided ‘the CleanSpace system’.
The liner was installed very well to both the floor and walls preventing any possible water infiltration. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will not be penetrated by moisture or humidity ever again!
CrawlSpace Encapsulation in Gore, Quebec
Before tackling this homeowner's challenge in Gore, QC, excess humidity in the crawl space was more than just a minor inconvenience; it was a homeowner's nightmare. As you can see in the before photo, the condition was far from ideal, posing potential threats to the home's structure and air quality. Fortunately, our team stepped in with our SmartJack and CleanSpace systems. The after photo proudly showcases a transformed, dry, and stable environment. By addressing the root problem head-on, we provided not just a fix, but peace of mind and a testament to our commitment to delivering reliable, lasting solutions. This experience is a clear illustration of how we turn a home's problem into a problem solved.
Installation of a vapor barrier in a crawl space in Kirkland, Q
The problem
Mr. Cloghesy had an earthen crawl space which was very wet. Moisture from the crawl space spreads to upper floors and sometimes creates a foul odor. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to install a vapor barrier in his crawl space in order to regain the comfort of his home and use the space as storage.
The solution
Install our drainage membrane as well as our CleanSpace coating. The drainage membrane is installed on the earthen floor, it creates a drainage space for water to flow to the interior French drain or sump pump system. Ideal for covering earthen and rocky ground, it creates an air space which acts as a thermal cushion giving a certain insulation value. Next, our 20mm thick CleanSpace liner is a blend of high and low density polyethylene making it puncture resistant and flexible. It thus blocks moisture from the basement and gives a clear and clean appearance to the void.
Stabilization of a crawl space in Saint-Anicet
A client from Saint-Anicet had moisture problems in his crawl space. He noticed that some of the joists of his house were sagging slightly and the floor was bouncing under his feet.
Our technicians led by foreman Michel Leclerc proceeded to install 6 SmartJack support pillars.
The SmartJack is a support beam designed by engineers that adjusts to the exact height between the solid base and the support beam at the top. It stabilizes your foundations in the crawl space to secure your home and restore its value.
Encapsulating a damp Crawlspace in Pierrefonds, QC
In Pierrefonds, this homeowner faced a common yet troublesome issue - a damp crawlspace, which can be seen in the before photo displaying signs of moisture and possible damage risks. Fortunately, our team stepped in with a seamless solution. On the floor we installed CleanSpace drainage matting and TerraBlock since the temperature fluctuation was significant. And on the walls we installed SilverGlo thermal insulation. As noticed in the after photo, we transformed the previously damp and neglected crawlspace into a dry, energy-efficient, and healthy area under the home. This upgrade not only solved the current moisture problem but also provided a durable solution that supports a healthier living environment above.
