Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Problem: This Morin-Heights client had an uninsulated crawl space that was wet and left an unpleasant odor through the floor of the first floor. This is why he decided to contact us to receive a free quote.

Solution: The solution chosen during this project was to install our CleanSpace system throughout the crawl space. So to start, our foreman sealed all possible air leaks in the crawl space with expandable foam. Subsequently to redirect the water to the sump pump, a drainage membrane was installed over the entire floor of the crawl space and following it we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane on top to waterproof everything. Finally, we also installed the SilverGlow, our insulation type EPS laminated with aluminum foil, to insulate this crawl space.

Since our intervention, the humidity of this crawl space has been reduced and the customer now benefits from a better insulated crawl space.

Mr. Bernier had humidity problems in his cottage. Its crawl space is earth and only a few foundation walls were insulated. There were also windows which were not insulated. The high humidity in his crawl space came from the earthen floor and outside. And because of that, the rest of the house was affected and so was the comfort.

In order to solve its problem, our experts installed a SmartSump sump pump system connected to an external discharge line in order to expel the water coming from the ground away from the foundation. They insulated the walls that had no insulation with SilverGlo. Then they laid a drainage mat on the earthen floor. The purpose of this is to drain the surface water towards the sump pump. Over the drainage mat, flexible TerraBlock insulation sheets have been placed. They insulate and protect the crawl space as well as the house from humidity. And then our 20mm thick Polyethylene CleanSpace a liner was placed on the TerraBlock. It locks in moisture, is antimicrobial, and provides a clear, bright appearance in crawl spaces. Finally, our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to filter the air and control the humidity level.

With this complete solution, Mr. Bernier will no longer have a humidity problem in his crawl space and will find comfort in his home.

The moldy smell in this crawl space in Gore warned the owners of this house of its bad conditions. The main causes of moldy smells like these are humidity and moisture leaking in.

In order to stop those problems, our clients contacted our company and we installed a vapor barrier system that prevents water from entering.

The after photo shows clearly the solution our company provided ‘the CleanSpace system’.

The liner was installed very well to both the floor and walls preventing any possible water infiltration. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will not be penetrated by moisture or humidity ever again!

This crawl space in Gore had started to fall, and this is really dangerous!  That's why as soon as Mr. Morin noticed this problem he gave us a call in order to provide him with the best and most effective solution available.

After a free and professional inspection, we determined that the use of our patented SmartJack crawl space stabilizer was necessary to support this crawl space.

Our SmartJack provides supplemental support to crawl spaces and can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, taking them back to their original position.

The installation was done so our customer will not need to worry about his crawl space any longer!

Before tackling this homeowner's challenge in Gore, QC, excess humidity in the crawl space was more than just a minor inconvenience; it was a homeowner's nightmare. As you can see in the before photo, the condition was far from ideal, posing potential threats to the home's structure and air quality. Fortunately, our team stepped in with our SmartJack and CleanSpace systems. The after photo proudly showcases a transformed, dry, and stable environment. By addressing the root problem head-on, we provided not just a fix, but peace of mind and a testament to our commitment to delivering reliable, lasting solutions. This experience is a clear illustration of how we turn a home's problem into a problem solved.
