Encapsulation of a wet crawl space in Oka, Qc.
This crawl space in Oka was flooded during springtime and there was the presence of mold that developed all over the Crawl Space.
Water and moisture were damaging the foundation and the concrete of the place.
We sent our specialist Eugene to perform a full inspection and recommend the best solution.
We started by decontaminating the entire crawl space to eliminate mold and fungi.
And since encapsulation will allow the crawl space to be protected at all times, our team encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane which is a membrane that insulates the house from the earth.
The CleanSpace membrane is specially designed for crawl spaces: it is thick, sturdy, tear-resistant and contains an antibacterial additive.
And finally, we stabilized the foundations with our SmartJacks galvanized steel support beams. These beams support the joists and will be highly resistant to the hostile environment of the crawl space.
