Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This wet crawl space in Saint-David needed to be stabilized.

The structure of the house got affected after getting exposed to water, and the wooden beams in the crawl space started to deteriorate.

After contacting our company, our team inspected the place and once we got the approval we installed our SmartJacks that are specially designed for crawl spaces. They support and stabilize your foundations and are adjustable to adapt to the movement of the ground.

In Saint-Guillaume, QC, an uninsulated crawl space was causing floor movement and instability in the support beams, due to moisture infiltration clearly visible in the first photo. The excess humidity had begun to compromise both comfort and structural integrity.

To resolve the issue, Systèmes Sous-sol Québec installed a complete CleanSpace® Encapsulation System, paired with CleanSpace™ Drainage Matting. As shown in the ‘after’ photo, this custom solution created a sealed, durable environment that prevents moisture from entering and damaging the space.

To further enhance protection, we added the SmartDrain™ system, designed to detect plumbing leaks beneath the liner. If a leak occurs, it redirects water safely while sounding an alert—providing early warning and peace of mind for the homeowner.

This tailored approach not only stabilized the crawl space structure but also safeguarded the area against long-term moisture issues. The result is a clean, dry, and resilient foundation that helps preserve the home’s value and comfort for years to come.

In Saint-Eugène-de-Grantham, Quebec, a homeowner faced a common yet troublesome problem – a damp crawl space noticeable in the before photo. Moisture not only posed a risk to the home's structure but also to the health of its residents. Our team sprang into action, armed with CleanSpace to effectively encapsulate the area, keeping moisture out. As you can see in the after photo, paired with the SaniDry Sedona, we've transformed the space into a dry, healthier environment. Together, these solutions ensure a durable fix, perfectly aligning with our mission to provide a remarkable customer experience and long-lasting solutions. The transformation is not just visual; it's a testament to reliability and peace of mind for years to come.

A vented dirt crawl space is not a good thing. Damp exposed soils contribute to a lot of water vapor into the air and humid air fosters the proliferation of bacteria such as mold and allergens. Moreover, groundwater seeps and leaks rush from under the footing, between the footing and walls, right through block walls and through cracks in poured walls. Once inside, the water stays there slowly evaporating into the air. It is very difficult to completely dry damp earth but when it does dry a little, water vapors move upward into the house towards your bedrooms and living rooms.

To fix this problem, we completely encapsulated this crawlspace using our heavy duty CleanSpace drainage matting and CleanSpace liner and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifying system. The Sedona eliminates damp, musty odors in your crawlspace by drying and filtering the air. It's a high performance and high-efficiency systems. You will save on electricity while keeping your space dry and healthy for many years to come. 

A homeowner in Sainte-Helene-De-Bagot, Quebec, was concerned with significant humidity within their crawl space, prompting the need for a thorough inspection followed by a permanent solution. Upon assessment, our specialist identified key indicators of excessive moisture, most notably efflorescence, a clear sign of prolonged exposure to high humidity levels. To mitigate this issue and safeguard the home, we proceeded with the installation of the CleanSpace encapsulation system. This system integrates a durable drainage membrane with a high-efficiency vapor barrier. Together, these components effectively manage moisture levels by preventing water infiltration and reducing ground moisture evaporation. As a result, the crawl space is now thoroughly sealed and protected, ensuring long-term moisture control and preserving the structural integrity of the property.
