Crawl Space Repair in Terrebonne, QC
We have completely encapsulated this crawl space by installing our CleanSpace Drain Mat under our CleanSpace Anti-mold Steam Membrane. Then we installed an UltraSump booster pump that runs on battery power during power outages. Subsequently, we solidified the crawl space structure by installing 9 SmartJack pillars and 24 PowerBrace support beams. To finalize it all, we added IceGuard and LawnScape accessories to the dump line to provide extra safety against flooding.
Encapsulation and stabilization of a crawl space in Saint-Esprit.
This client had a wet crawl space where support beams began to sag. The infiltrating water was neither blocked nor drained, which caused it to accumulate in the air and be absorbed by the support beams.
To solve this problem, we installed a CleanSpace membrane to block water vapor, a SmartDrain drain to accumulate and redirect water, as well as SmartJacks support pillars and SmartJacks support beams.
Stabilization a crawl space in Saint-Esprit
We have repaired our client’s crawl space in Saint-Esprit after our client noticed his house floor was sagging.
Furthermore, we have installed our company's SmartJack support pillars which are support systems made of steel used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawlspace.
The SmartJack support pillar is the best system to lift above floors and walls back to their original position.
Water seepage in a basement in Lasalle, Qc
Water infiltration is a problem for many homeowners. Water can drive up under the foundation at the joints between the floor and the wall or through cracks in the walls as well. These situations are often due to a high water table, hydrostatic pressure, and the normal shrinkage of concrete.
This is what happened in this basement in Lasalle, and when we went to check up the area Mr. Neil informed us that it had been this way for years and he tried to fix it many times but it was all in vain.
We informed Mr. Neil then that the best thing to do is to waterproof the entire basement.
The waterproofing consists of the following:
An interior Drain called ‘The WaterGuard’ to capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor; a ‘TripleSafe’ sump pump to pump the water out, and finally an ‘IceGuard’ accessory that prevents pipe freezing.
High humidity in a house in Lasalle, Qc
Mr. Moran over time noticed that there was a high level of humidity in his house, his wooden floors began to warp and an unpleasant smell of mold was circulating in the house. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a permanent and reliable solution!
The problem
Well this is the crawl space!
- Water infiltration
- Lack of insulation
This made the crawl space very humid. The humidity affected the wooden floor causing it to curl slightly, causing this foul odor and affecting our client's comfort in their home.
The solution
- Insulate the walls of the crawl space with our SilverGlo insulating panels.
- Lay our drainage mat on the ground in order to drain the water from the surface to the SmartSump sump pump system that was in place.
- Install our CleanSpace coating designed to block humidity and thus insulate the floor of the house. It also gives a clean and bright appearance to the crawl space.
- Add our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. It filters the air and eliminates moisture.
With this encapsulation solution, Mr. Moran will no longer have a problem with humidity and foul odor. It now has a dry crawl space!
