Complete encapsulation to remove moisture from the crawl space in Gatineau, QC
When our specialists inspected this home in Gatineau, they found that the crawl space had high humidity levels, creating conditions conducive to condensation, unpleasant odors, mold growth, and material deterioration. Moisture rising from the ground could also affect indoor air quality throughout the house, since air from the crawl space naturally circulates upward to the upper floors. In addition, certain sections of the structure required additional support to ensure the stability of the floors. To address these issues, our team fully encapsulated the crawl space by installing a drainage matting to effectively channel water, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to block moisture from the ground and create a clean, dry environment, and SmartJack® supports to reinforce the joists and stabilize the floors. This work now allows for better moisture control, protects the structure from the long-term effects of water, improves indoor air quality, and provides the homeowner with a healthier, more durable, and much easier-to-maintain crawl space.
