The problem

Mrs. Desjarlaies had humidity problems in her house that came from her earthen crawl space that was not insulated. The relative humidity in the crawl space at the time of the inspection with our specialist was 83.2%. With such high humidity, mold and rot of organic materials develop and the comfort of the house will be affected.

The solution

We installed a new SmartSump sump system, a CleanSpace drainage membrane, and then a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.

With these solutions, the water in the ground will be removed and ejected outside, the humidity coming from the earth floor and the concrete block foundation walls will be blocked thanks to the CleanSpace and the humidity level can be controlled by the dehumidifier.

We encountered a significant challenge within a house in Pointe-Calumet, QC : Moisture and mold were proliferating in an unsealed crawl space. The 'before' photo illustrates conditions that were not only unsightly but posed serious health risks. Our effective solution involved the installation of CleanSpace and SilverGlo systems. The 'after' photo showcases a meticulously transformed space that now effectively protects against moisture infiltration and decay. We did not merely rectify the issue; we implemented a long-lasting solution that ensures the integrity of our client's home and provides them with peace of mind.

When water seeps into the crawl space and gets stuck, the water evaporates into the air and humidifies the basement.

This is the case of our client’s crawl space in Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, that had a 79% level of humidity in the place, in addition to a wet and dirty area all the time.

Our team recommended a waterproofing solution and that would solve the problem of infiltration of water and moisture.

We installed the WaterGuard Interior Drain on the perimeter where there was a footing at the foundation and covered the concrete walls with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane that blocks moisture.

We received the following request from Nathalie in L'Île-Perrot: "I need an estimate of costs for water infiltration in the basement. Cracks are apparent”

So we sent our specialist Mike to perform a complete inspection and submit a quote to this client who wants to solve his problem of infiltration of water in the basement. He recommended the following solution:

Close the cracks by injecting polyurethane, install an interior drain (our WaterGuard drain system) along the perimeter of the basement on the footing of the foundation, connect the drain to a SuperSump sump pump system to drain the water away from the house automatically, cover the wall with the CleanSpace membrane which is a vapor barrier to block water vapor from the wall.

The basement is now dry and will remain so at all times because we have solved the problem at the source.

You should always take water infiltration problems seriously, for it does not only affect your house but also it might affect your health and your family’s health as well! And that’s why u should always waterproof your basement before problems aggravate and it will cost you even more.

Our client in Saint-Hyppolite noticed this issue and decided to call us to examine his place and provide him with our prices.

And so we To solve this customer's water problem, we installed a complete waterproofing system including 25 feet of WaterGuard drain to intercept water coming in, a SuperSump sump pump system, and IceGuard and a discharge line accessory.

And the results came out to be perfect, the basement is dry, healthier and the house is more enjoyable for him and his family!
