Encapsulation of a crawl space and reinforcement of joists in Farnham, Qc

Mrs. St-Amand contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc, because her floor had collapsed in a few places. So she felt that her floor was soft and there was a smell of damp and mold upstairs.

The problem was the earthen crawl space. There was lots of humidity and the wooden beams and pillars were rotting due to the humidity.

To fix this problem, our team encapsulated the crawl space with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier on the earth floor. This is to lock in moisture coming from the ground. We installed beams and our galvanized steel SmartJack pillars to reinforce the structure of the house and prevent the floor from sagging. Finally, we have installed our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity level along with a SmartSump sump pump system.
