Reducing Humidity and the Risk of Mold Through Crawl Space Encapsulation in Saint-Elzéar, QC

In Saint-Elzéar, our client was looking for a solution to address the problematic conditions in their crawl space. The area was affected by excessive moisture, which could lead to persistent odors, condensation, a feeling of damp air, and conditions conducive to mold growth. Since the crawl space plays a significant role in a home’s comfort and air quality, it was essential to implement a long-term solution rather than a mere temporary fix. Our solution involved creating a better-controlled environment by installing a drainage matting, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a SmartSump® sump pump. The membrane manages water beneath the structure, while the CleanSpace® system seals the crawl space to limit vapor infiltration from the ground. The SmartSump® pump completes the installation by ensuring the efficient removal of collected water.

With this new setup, the crawl space now benefits from better protection against moisture and water infiltration, while helping to preserve the foundation, improve the home’s comfort, and maintain better indoor air quality.
