Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

A vented dirt crawl space is not a good thing. Damp exposed soils contribute to a lot of water vapor into the air and humid air fosters the proliferation of bacteria such as mold and allergens. Moreover, groundwater seeps and leaks rush from under the footing, between the footing and walls, right through block walls and through cracks in poured walls. Once inside, the water stays there slowly evaporating into the air. It is very difficult to completely dry damp earth but when it does dry a little, water vapors move upward into the house towards your bedrooms and living rooms.

To fix this problem, we completely encapsulated this crawlspace using our heavy duty CleanSpace drainage matting and CleanSpace liner and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifying system. The Sedona eliminates damp, musty odors in your crawlspace by drying and filtering the air. It's a high performance and high-efficiency systems. You will save on electricity while keeping your space dry and healthy for many years to come. 

A homeowner in Sainte-Helene-De-Bagot, Quebec, was concerned with significant humidity within their crawl space, prompting the need for a thorough inspection followed by a permanent solution. Upon assessment, our specialist identified key indicators of excessive moisture, most notably efflorescence, a clear sign of prolonged exposure to high humidity levels. To mitigate this issue and safeguard the home, we proceeded with the installation of the CleanSpace encapsulation system. This system integrates a durable drainage membrane with a high-efficiency vapor barrier. Together, these components effectively manage moisture levels by preventing water infiltration and reducing ground moisture evaporation. As a result, the crawl space is now thoroughly sealed and protected, ensuring long-term moisture control and preserving the structural integrity of the property.

When you suffer from water infiltration in your basement, always check whether your sump pump is working efficiently.

This is what we advised our client who had contacted us asking for our advice!

The TripleSafe sump pump, such as the one installed in our client’s basement in Trois-Rives, is designed to protect you from any problems that might occur with standard sump pumps.  As well as an alarm to alert your attention to any problems, it also uses a specially designed Ultra Sump battery (not an automobile or marine battery) and another pump to backup the primary pump. This ensures the TripleSafe sump pump continues to work even in case of a power failure or pump malfunction.

Facing an alarming vertical crack inside the basement, the homeowner in Saint-Damase seeked our help. Our specialist explained in details how this cracks is driving water infiltration inside the basement, and thus increase humidity levels which will deteriorate the quality of air inside the house. 

As a remedy, we installed our revolutionary FlexiSpan system including a polyurethane-based sealing with a second membrane that will cover the crack and push any escaping water infiltration to the drainage system. 

Client was satisfied with the result, knowing that he won't have to deal with this crack anymore.
