Lasting Crawl Space Solution in Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel, Qc
Challenge
A homeowner in Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel had been dealing with persistent moisture problems in their crawl space. The area was constantly damp, with condensation forming on wooden beams and an unpleasant musty smell rising into the living spaces above. Over time, these conditions led to weakened floor joists, mold formation, and rising energy costs due to excess humidity. The homeowner grew increasingly concerned about the long-term damage to their home’s structure and the negative effects on indoor air quality. Realizing the need for a durable and professional intervention, they contacted Systèmes Éconergie for a complete assessment and permanent repair plan.
Solution
After a detailed inspection, the experts at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec designed a comprehensive system to eliminate moisture and protect the crawl space for the long term:
- Laid drainage matting on the floor to promote proper water flow beneath the encapsulation system.
- Installed the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a high-performance liner that completely seals the area from ground moisture and prevents mold and mildew growth.
- Added a SmartSump™ pump system to automatically collect and evacuate any accumulated water, ensuring reliable protection in all weather conditions.
- Integrated the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, the most efficient model on the market, to maintain a consistently dry and healthy environment.
- Installed the IceGuard® discharge line protection to prevent freezing during the winter months and guarantee continuous drainage.
Following these improvements, the crawl space was fully transformed into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient area, safeguarding the home’s structure while creating a healthier indoor environment for years to come.
