Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Because the crawl space is a below-grade space under the house, you might think it’s normal to have a moisty crawl space. After all, the ground gets wet and dries throughout the seasons and with weather patterns event.

So when our client who owns a house in Hemmingford started suffering from moisture in her house, she contacted us asking for some recommendations.

We went to her house, and encapsulated her crawl space by installing our most efficient products in the market: A Cleanspace Liner to block water vapor, a SmartDrain to collect water seepage which is designed specifically for crawl spaces and a Sanidry Cx to keep the air dry.

The SaniDry Cx dehumidifier is a powerful system that is appropriate for the basement and crawl space environment alike, and is able to remove up to 109 Pints of water daily.

Our team has picked the best solution to protect our client’s basement in Hemmingford and solved all water infiltration problems in the place by connecting our Waterguard System that is installed at the base of the foundation, with our company’s SuperSump that has more than 100 holes to drain the water under the slab.

This place is now completely waterproofed!

This crawl space in Hemmingford was not insulated and there was a lot of water leakage and humidity in the area, which was leading to rot and decay that, might eventually weaken structural members and make major architectural repairs necessary.

When we went to check this area, our specialist, therefore, recommended a complete solution to waterproof, isolate, and encapsulate the place.

As a start, we have installed a SmartDrain to collect run-off water at this location and evacuate to the sump pump.

Then we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace membrane which a vapor barrier and contains an antibacterial additive that prevents the proliferation of bacteria and molds.

And finally, we have installed our SaniDry Cx dehumidifier. This innovative system is small enough to fit into most crawl spaces, while its powerful blowing motor and efficient design allow it to effectively dry a basement.

A wet crawl space might be dangerous for the house, for it might affect the whole structure of the place.

Also, mud floors are filled with water and transmit water vapors filled with moisture, bacteria, and mold. As the air flows upwards, the air in the crawl space goes to the upper floors of your home, causing you to breathe infected air.

We have encapsulated and stabilized this crawl space in Hemmingford, by installing our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane. The CleanSpace membrane is composed of 7 layers of treated polyethylene in which an antibacterial additive is added. The membrane is finally treated with an ultra-violet additive in order to extend its resistance and its life span as long as possible. In addition, we installed our SmartJacks that are specially designed for crawl spaces. They support and stabilize your foundations and are adjustable to adapt to the movement of the ground.

Crawl space encapsulation allows this space to be healthier and more useful!
