Before & After Photos

Facing rot wood in their crawl space, a worried homeowner in Saint-Alexis, QC, turned to us for a lasting fix. The potential structural damage was quite severe. Our solution? We installed SmartJack for reliable support, wrapped the area in CleanSpace to seal out moisture, and insulated with SilverGolo for energy efficiency. The transformation, evident in the after photo, not only rectified the issue but also ensured their home's stability and comfort for years to come.

Tucked away in scenic Hampstead, QC, a homeowner faced the chill of a cold crawl space– a common dilemma that disrupts comfort and energy efficiency. Before our intervention, as visible in the photo, the space was bare and unwelcoming. However, transforming a hassle into harmonious living is our forte. By administering our CleanSpace and SilverGlo solutions, we encapsulated and insulated the area, evident in the after photo. Notice the seamless integration, built to last and fortify against the cold, providing both immediate relief and enduring protection. This goes beyond mere repair; it's creating a solid foundation for warmth and energy efficiency, right where it matters.

In this home located in Saint-Esprit, the crawl space exhibited several concerning signs: floors losing their stability, a strong sense of dampness throughout the house, and virtually no insulation beneath the structure. Over time, water accumulation and constant moisture had begun to weaken the structure and compromise indoor comfort.

Our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec therefore carried out a comprehensive intervention to address the issues at their source. A mat drainage system was first installed to control water at ground level and prevent it from pooling under the house. The crawl space was then encapsulated using the CleanSpace system to block moisture and create a much cleaner, more controlled environment.

To restore solid support to the structure, SmartJacks were added to stabilize the sagging floors. SilverGlo panels were also installed to improve the crawl space’s thermal performance and reduce heat loss.

The protection system was completed with a TripleSafe pump, an IceGuard, and an exterior drain line, ensuring reliable water drainage in all seasons, even during freezing conditions.

Today, this crawl space is not only drier and better insulated, but also much more stable and durable for years to come.

Mr. Moran over time noticed  that there was a high level of humidity in his house, his wooden floors began to warp and an unpleasant smell of mold was circulating in the house. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a permanent and reliable solution!

The problem

Well this is the crawl space!

- Water infiltration

- Lack of insulation

This made the crawl space very humid. The humidity affected the wooden floor causing it to curl slightly, causing this foul odor and affecting our client's comfort in their home.

The solution

- Insulate the walls of the crawl space with our SilverGlo insulating panels.

- Lay our drainage mat on the ground in order to drain the water from the surface to the SmartSump sump pump system that was in place.

- Install our CleanSpace coating designed to block humidity and thus insulate the floor of the house. It also gives a clean and bright appearance to the crawl space.

- Add our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. It filters the air and eliminates moisture.

With this encapsulation solution, Mr. Moran will no longer have a problem with humidity and foul odor. It now has a dry crawl space!

Because the crawl space is a below-grade space under the house, you might think it’s normal to have a moisty crawl space. After all, the ground gets wet and dries throughout the seasons and with weather patterns event.

So when our client who owns a house in Hemmingford started suffering from moisture in her house, she contacted us asking for some recommendations.

We went to her house, and encapsulated her crawl space by installing our most efficient products in the market: A Cleanspace Liner to block water vapor, a SmartDrain to collect water seepage which is designed specifically for crawl spaces and a Sanidry Cx to keep the air dry.

The SaniDry Cx dehumidifier is a powerful system that is appropriate for the basement and crawl space environment alike, and is able to remove up to 109 Pints of water daily.
