Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Having discovered our company on Facebook, this customer living in Saint-Lambert area contacted us to tell us about his concerns about humidity and support system in his crawl space. Indeed, the air in the area was very heavy and cold. In addition, the support pillars were not strong enough because they did not support the floor of the upper floor properly, which caused it to sag. These problems are very dangerous for the health of the home and the safety of the family living there.

For example, we sent one of our specialists who recommended the installation of the following products: SilverGlo insulation panels, 12 SmartJack support pillars, WaterGuard interior foundation drain, SuperSump sump pump system, freeze protection IceGuard Discharge Line, LawnScape Discharge Line Discharge Mouth.

With these products, the water can no longer infiltrate the crawl space and affect the air by releasing water vapor, because the water is intercepted by the internal drain and discharged by the sump pump. The water vapor is blocked by the SilverGlo insulation and the crawl space roof is now more than solid thanks to the SmartJacks

This couple from Pointe-aux-Trembles had problems with water infiltration in the basement of their residence. After a few years of enduring water infiltration during periods of heavy rain and snowmelt, these owners made the decision to solve the problem. The couple had moisture problems in the house and bad odors were coming out of the basement.

After some research, they made the decision to bring in a Systèmes Sous-sol Québec specialist to carry out a complete inspection of the basement of the house.

A few weeks later, a team of technicians specializing in basement waterproofing came to install a CleanSpace membrane on the basement walls, as well as a SuperSump sump pump system for this Pointe-aux-Trembles couple.

Following the installation, the owners of this house no longer had a single drop of water on their floor and unpleasant odors have disappeared for good.

Brick blocks and columns do not provide effective and permanent support for the crawl space, as they will move according to the weak ground motions.

So we must put pillars that support the house on stronger soil.

We have stabilized this crawl space in Longueuil by adapting one of our simple solutions from which SmartJack pillars and galvanized steel PowerBrace beams that will lift the foundation to their original position immediately.

Facing a damp and cold crawl space in Brossard, Quebec, the homeowner contacted us for advice. During the inspection, our specialist Roxane explained that bad crawl space will affect the quality of the air going inside the house, and thus causing potential health issues and allergies. In addition, persistent humidity will result in mold growth and potentially wood rot, thus causing potential structural damage. As a remedy, we installed our CleanSpace system, including the drainage matting and the vapor barrier. This system will regulate humidity levels while infiltrated water will be channeled to the drain or the sump pump. The walls were also covered by our SilverGlo thermal insulation that will help keep the temperature warm and regulated. Our client was happy with the transformation done within the crawl space, knowing that he is now in a safe environment. 

Our client in Longueuil called to have his crawl space encapsulated. This picture shows the big difference between an encapsulated and insulated crawlspace, and the many earth crawl spaces you can find in Quebec. 

The insulation helped solve many issues the client had, such as insulating the upper floors from the cold, making the crawlspace clean and letting him use the crawlspace as an additional storage room.
