Crawl space in Saint-Jacques-Le-Majeur, Quebec: humidity control and structural improvement
Challenge
The owner of this house in Saint-Jacques-Le-Majeur was dealing with a crawl space that had several problems: high humidity promoting mold growth and material deterioration, a weakened beam threatening the stability of the floor, water infiltration due to inadequate drainage, and poor indoor air quality caused by condensation and the presence of fungi.
Solution
Our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec implemented our comprehensive, customized solution to remedy all the problems identified in this crawl space.
- CleanSpace encapsulation: installation of a waterproof membrane over the entire crawl space to create a durable barrier against moisture, prevent mold growth, and protect the structural materials of the home.
- SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier: constant humidity control to maintain a dry, healthy, and comfortable environment, while significantly improving indoor air quality for occupants.
- SmartDrain system: installation of an efficient drainage system to effectively manage runoff, prevent accumulation, and reduce the risk of long-term damage.
- Reinforcement of weakened beam: stabilization and securing of the compromised beam with SmartJack to ensure the solidity of the floor and the overall safety of the structure.
Personalized follow-up and maintenance: our team provides post-installation follow-up to ensure that the systems are working properly and to guarantee long-lasting protection against moisture and water infiltration.
The result: a dry, healthy, and secure crawl space that protects your foundation and indoor air quality for years to come.
