Crawl Space Encapsulation in Hawkesbury, Qc
A dry crawl space invites unwanted pests such as insects, dust mites, and spiders. In addition moist will form and aggravate in the area. This affects the airflow throughout your home and moves the spores in the void to the upper floors of your home.
This is why we have encapsulated and dehumidified the crawl space of our customer from Hawkesbury. Our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier and a Smart sump pump and solved the problem permanently.
Wet crawl space and water infiltration in Hawkesbury, ON
Problem
Mr. Boutin had a crawl space that was not insulated, where water was infiltrating through the walls and the floor. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to have a dry crawl space and strengthen the support beams that were made of wood.
Solution
Insulate crawl space walls with our SilverGlo panels and add our CleanSpace vapor barrier to lock in moisture and provide a clear appearance.
Replace the sump pump with our SmartSump system which contains a 1/3 HP cast iron Zoeller pump.
Add our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity level and filter the air.
Reinforce slowly decaying wooden support beams by adding galvanized steel SmartJack pillars.
Replacing an old pump with our TripleSafe sump pump in Les Coteaux, Qc
This house in Les Coteaux was in a very bad state.
Water was coming into the basement during each thaw season, which was deteriorating the place and causing too much moisture in the area.
After finding our company, Mr. Frank called us and asked for our free inspection.
We waterproofed the entire place by installing our TripleSafe sump pump to pump all the water out, 2 IceGuard accessories to prevent water freezing and a LawnScape discharge line outlet.
Elimination of water infiltration, in Les Coteaux, QC
Our client Mr. Frank wanted to keep his entire basement dry. His basement had been finished and he wanted to protect it.
SOLUTION
Our customer chose the product known as the TripleSafe pump which included; 3 pumps (2 electric, 1 battery), 2 alarms and 1 drain. This product guarantees a dry basement, even in the case of water infiltration. Ideal for a client who has had one or more water infiltrations in the past, a client in an area prone to flooding or a client who wants to renovate or complete his basement and who wants to protect his investment. It is strongly suggested that you install a TripleSafe prior to basement renovations.
This pump will typically include one or more IceGuards. The IceGuard helps prevent the water which the pump sends outside the house from freezing. If this discharge is prevented by frozen water, it will return to the pump and break it, thus making it useless. This water will therefore go to your basement.
A Lawnscape is also often used at this water outlet to prevent soil erosion, damage surrounding landscaping and prevent entry of insects. Each of these elements has been specifically created to collect the large amounts of rain during our Quebec springs.
