Transforming a damp crawl space into a clean, insulated area in Laurierville, Quebec
In Laurierville, this crawl space had several common issues: high humidity, condensation, persistent odors, cold air infiltration, icy floors, and the risk of mold caused by exposed soil and uninsulated walls. To permanently resolve the situation, three complementary solutions were implemented: a drainage membrane to manage water at the base, followed by the installation of the CleanSpace vapor barrier to block moisture and sanitize the space, and then the addition of SilverGlo insulation panels on the walls, a rigid insulation offering an R-value of 11, low thermal conductivity, and a reflective surface that reflects heat back into the interior; Today, the crawl space is dry, clean, and better insulated, contributing to greater comfort and improved energy efficiency throughout the home.
