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.

The interior walls of this basement in Saint-Joseph-De-Beauce, Quebec showed significant signs of settlement, posing a substantial structural risk if left unaddressed. To ensure the long-term stability of the foundation, we implemented our StableLock system—a comprehensive reinforcement solution. This process involved the pouring of a structural concrete support wall to counteract the ongoing settlement, effectively redistributing the load and mitigating further settlement. Additionally, we installed our high-strength galvanized steel PowerBrace system, engineered to provide optimal stabilization and prevent future displacement of the foundation walls. The homeowner was highly satisfied and reassured by our ability to execute the solution efficiently with minimal disruption to their living environment.

In Cap-Saint-Ignace, a homeowner was facing significant water infiltration and mold problems that were threatening the structure and health of his basement. Faced with this situation, our team deployed a high-performance, durable waterproofing solution. The work consisted of installing the WaterGuard interior drain, CleanSpace drainage mat, and TripleSafe sump pump, three components that work together to effectively remove water and prevent moisture buildup around the foundation.

Thanks to this intervention, the space has been completely transformed: the basement is now dry, clean, and healthy, ready to be used to its full potential. This project perfectly illustrates how our advanced drainage technologies and waterproofing expertise provide lasting protection against moisture, infiltration, and mold.

Issue:

There are three foundation cracks visible from inside the basement of Mrs. Thibodeau's house. Moisture and water seep through these and cause dampness in the basement.

Solution:

Seal the cracks inside the basement using our patented FlexiSpan method. Our team apply two types of polyurethane sealant.

In Sainte-Françoise-De-Lotbiniere, Quebec, this homeowner was faced with a serious problem involving visible cracks in the foundation. The “before” photo shows clear signs of foundation problems requiring immediate attention. We installed our advanced SmartJack system to effectively stabilize and lift the crawl space beams and floor joists. This reliable solution straightened the sagging floors and eliminated excessive floor bounce. As shown in the “after” photo, our expertise restored structural integrity and peace of mind for the homeowner, ensuring lasting strength and stability.
