Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Ms. Méndez contacted us to repair her crawl space. We had to support its floor because it was sagging and to encapsulate the crawl space because there was moisture. We installed SmartJack galvanized steel beams to reinforce the floor structure. Then, in order to properly isolate the crawl space from the outside air, we covered the walls with insulating panels. Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier membrane to prevent moisture from rising to the upper floors. The remaining moisture will drain into the sump pump system that we installed.

Our client who lives in Laval contacted our company and asked us to inspect her crawl space after she had seen our work on her neighbor's house.

During our team inspection, our specialist Jerry found many areas where mold had been growing in addition to extreme moisture. So he suggested the installation of our CleanSpace system that will be sealed to separate the house from the ground. An antimicrobial ingredient is present in the vapor barrier to prevent bacteria from reproducing.

Our client was very happy with the work done and can now rest easy knowing there is no more mold or moisture under her home!

Whenever we work on the waterproofing and encapsulation of a crawl space, we are happy to see how this space is transformed from an earthen place with moist air into a dry, clean and bright space that can be used for useful purposes. This adds more usable space to your home and increases its value. Not only can you use it to store your seasonal items, but the air becomes dry and of better quality because the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane contains an antibacterial additive that prevents the formation and proliferation of bacteria and molds and blocks water vapor. Thus, the air that moves from your crawl space to the upper floors is healthy for your health. We are happy to have completed another crawl space encapsulation project in Sainte-Dorothée!

Our client complained about a cold and wet crawl space. He felt his floors were very cold and smelled unpleasantly damp. The crawl space was very poorly insulated, cold and humid.

The difficulty our experts faced was isolating an uneven ground. Rigid and inflexible insulation could not have worked there. Our experts installed our 3/4 inch TerraBlock insulation sheets. These sheets are placed on the ground and mold to the ground and allow the crawl space to be isolated. To finalize it,  they coated the TerraBlock with our 20ml thick CleanSpace coating. It is made of a high density polyethylene blend for flexibility and strong strength. The white finish brightens the crawl space and makes it clean.

Thanks to this solution, our client will no longer have cold floors and no foul odor. It will have a dry and clean crawl space!

The problem: This Laval client had a structural problem in her crawl space. These support beams were not adequate so there was a sag at the ceiling of the crawl space.

Solution: Following inspection by our system design specialist Jerry, he suggested installing piles to support the structure we call SmartJacks. They are very sturdy and we can adjust them to be the right height for your crawl space.
