Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In the before photo, you'll see a dark, earthen crawl space in a house built in 1940s on precarious fieldstone, pointing to the struggle against moisture and frost. Fast forward, and the after shot captures how our CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, and SmartJack systems transformed this problematic crawl space into a clean, dry, and stable foundation. Notice the seamless encapsulation and the sturdy support – proof of our commitment to delivering enduring and effective solutions for homes in Saint-Zénon, QC.

Problem

Infiltration of water in the crawl space creating humidity, mold and rot on the wood. Hence the humidity made the house less comfortable.

Solution

Encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace drainage membrane and liner on the floor and walls. And then install a SuperSump sump pump system. Humidity will be reduced or even eliminated, and infiltrating water will be expelled outside the house thanks to our SuperSump pump.

PROBLEM

The client was unaware of the state of her crawl space in the first years after moving in. Once she saw the space, filled with iron ochre, she got worried. She decided to contact us.

SOLUTION

It was essential to install a pump since the iron ochre had blocked the existing drains, creating water infiltration. We also opted for the CleanSpace product, so Mrs. Nathalie could enjoy a clean crawl space. She now feels reassured that the crawl space will be efficient in her home in Saint-Calixte, QC.

The problem: This Lachine client’s problem was that she had no protection and the humidity level in her crawl space was very high.

The solution: We installed a membrane called CleanSpace which acts as a vapor barrier and below it we installed a drainage membrane so that it redirects the water to the drain.

After a building inspector did a full house inspection on Ms. Pépin Sainte-Julienne property, he discovered an important humidity problem in her crawlspace. Since she wanted to sell her house, this could have prevented the sale from happening. Her sump pump was not reliable and the 6 mil membrane installed in her crawlspace was in a very bad shape.

She contacted Systèmes Sous-sol to find a solution to her humidity problem.

To solve our client's humidity and water infiltration problems, our team of basement experts installed a new SmartSump sump pump system, an EZ flow crawlspace drain along the foundation walls and covered the whole crawlspace with our CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation membrane. 

This helped prevent water infiltration and cut off the crawlspace and house completely from the earth's humidity.

Ms. Pépin now enjoys a dry crawlspace and can sell her house without any issues.
