Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Problem

• High humidity in the crawl space and inside the house

• Damaged Joists and support pillars in the crawl space due to humidity

• Sagging of the main floor

Solution

Encapsulation of the crawl space with our CleanSpace drainage membrane and vapor barrier then the installation of additional SmartJack support pillars to reinforce the structure of the house.

When a customer calls us for expert advice on mold issues in the crawl space, we are always happy to help, especially when it comes to ancestral homes. Our solutions help solve problems with water and water vapor and help preserve the value of the home by protecting it. The CleanSpace membrane is a crawl space vapor barrier that prevents water vapor from the floor from humidifying the crawl space and damaging the organic building material. It allows water to be redirected to a floor drain that draws water away from the home. The CleanSpace membrane also contains an antibacterial that prevents the proliferation of molds. This encapsulation solution solves the problem of humidity in the crawl space once and for all!

A homeowner in Saint-Majorique, QC, was struggling with high humidity in their crawl space. The moisture was causing musty odors, mold growth, and reduced energy efficiency. Remembering the effective solution we provided in their previous home in Blainville, they reached out to us again to resolve the issue.

Our team conducted a thorough inspection and implemented a complete solution. Drainage Matting was installed to channel water efficiently, the SmartPipe system captured water from the soil and walls, and a SmartDrain provided early detection of leaks while preventing air infiltration. The crawl space was fully encapsulated with CleanSpace, and SilverGlo insulation was added to the walls to improve energy efficiency.

After the work was completed, the crawl space was dry, clean, and well-insulated, creating a healthier, more comfortable, and energy-efficient home.

In this recent project in Saint-Prosper, the owner was struggling with a crawl space that had become a real source of concern. The area was damp and uncomfortable, creating conditions conducive to mold growth, musty odors, and even attracting pests. In addition, the constant moisture threatened the wooden beams and floor joists, raising concerns about the long-term stability of the house.

As you can see in the “before” photo, moisture had already begun to transform the crawl space into an unhealthy environment. Living above such a space can have an impact not only on the home, but also on the air the family breathes every day.

To solve the problem, our team installed our CleanSpace® encapsulation system and drainage matting. This combination prevents moisture from entering, drains water, and protects the structure from damage. We also added a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity levels and ensure a healthy, dry environment at all times. Today, this crawl space is no longer a source of problems, but a true invisible protection that supports the home and the comfort of those who live there.

These are before and after pictures of a crawl space in Austin Qc, that had a bad moisture problem which made the floor rotten and getting destroyed.

Our client wanted to replace the floor at first, but once he contacted our company we went for our free inspection and informed him that his problem can be fixed easily.

So we suggested the installation of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, that will slows or prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air.

Made of a 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with polyester-cord reinforcement, the liner is treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth on or under the CleanSpace liner.
