Before & After Photos

PROBLEM

Lots of water infiltration within a crawlspace, which promoted mold growth. Additionally, the floor in his house was sloping, indicating sagging issues. Entering into the crawlspace, our specialist noticed the unpleasant odor caused by excess moisture and mold. He explained that this critical condition in the crawlspace had weakened the rim joist, which consequently caused the floor to sag. The solution lies in stabilizing the floor and encapsulating the crawlspace, which will eliminate harmful moisture. Action must be taken as soon as possible to prevent further structural damage that could even affect the foundation of the house.

SOLUTION

Encapsulation of the crawlspace using the CleanSpace system. This involves covering the floor with two complementary membranes:

- The drainage membrane, equipped with a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the drainage or sump pump.

- The vapor barrier that prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive moisture. It also includes an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold from growing.

Regarding floor stabilization, implementing the SmartJack system. In this case, it involved installing five galvanized steel columns. These columns are adjustable depending on the dimension of the crawl space in question. Moreover, galvanized steel is corrosion-resistant, ensuring the durability of this system. Furthermore, the installation of the columns is quick, with minimal disruption to the house.

Before tackling this crawl space repair in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, QC, excess humidity was the culprit behind our customer's concerns. As you can see in the before photo, the damp conditions were anything but ideal. Stepping in, our team installed CleanSpace and SilverGlo, geared towards creating a dry, efficient environment beneath this home. Notice in the after photo how transformed the area looks - a bright, clean, and secure space. This transformation not only restored homeowner peace of mind but also pledged a lasting solution to their home's underground challenges.

A customer in Saint-Benjamin was struggling with a crawl space that was causing problems: excessive humidity, unpleasant odors and visible signs of mold. To permanently sanitize the space, we performed complete encapsulation. 

The installation of our CleanSpace membrane waterproofed the floor and walls, blocking any rising damp. To complement this, a SmartSump sump pump was installed to efficiently evacuate water, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier now ensures dry, healthy air at all times. 

With these combined solutions, the crawl space is now fully protected! 

In Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, the customer was dealing with a damp and problematic crawl space, with mold, odors, cold floors, and the risk of wood deterioration. To solve these problems, our team implemented a complete encapsulation solution, combining a drainage matting to remove water and prevent stagnation, CleanSpace® membrane covering the walls and floor to create a waterproof barrier against moisture and contaminants, and a ventilation system and integrated sump pump to ensure a dry, healthy, and permanently protected crawl space. Thanks to this intervention, the customer now benefits from a secure, insulated, and durable space, protected from moisture, odors, and structural damage.

Problem

Our client in Delson, QC, had persistent water infiltrations within their basement, despite the presence of a sump pump. Following a detailed and free inspection, our specialist Patrick noticed that the existing drainage system faced major issues. Firstly, the discharge lines were obstructed by the soil. Secondly, the pump was constantly functional, indicating its inadequacy in dealing with the infiltrated water.

Solution

Our team installed the WaterGuard interior drain system along the perimeter of the basement. This patented system is designed to prevent clogging. Moreover, it is straightforward and quick to install, unlike French drains that require excavation.

Next, we implemented the SuperSump sump pump system, including two distinct pumps. These pumps will evacuate any infiltrated water, even during a power outage, as the second pump operates on battery power. Finally, we installed a new discharge line, connected to the pump, to direct the water outside.
