A Renovated Crawl Space: Moisture Control, Insulation, and Stability in Sainte-Emelie-De-L'energie, QC

In Sainte-Emelie-De-L'energie, Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec carried out a comprehensive project to improve the crawl space’s protection against moisture, water infiltration, and heat loss. Our team installed a drainage membrane, followed by the CleanSpace® vapor barrier to limit the migration of moisture from the ground. To ensure better water management, we added a SmartSump® sump pump, connected to an outdoor discharge line and an IceGuard® system to facilitate drainage when the outlet is at risk of becoming blocked by ice. A SaniDry Sedona® dehumidifier completes the system by helping to maintain a more controlled humidity level. Finally, SmartJack® support pillars help stabilize the floor structure, while SilverGlo® insulation panels help reduce heat loss. This combination of solutions improves moisture management, drainage, and crawl space insulation, while helping to protect the home’s structure from problems associated with a damp environment.
