Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: From a problematic crawl space to a dry, insulated space in Rivière-Rouge, Quebec
This album shows the complete transformation of a damp, poorly insulated crawl space into a dry, healthy, and energy-efficient space thanks to solutions from Systèmes Sous-sol Québec. It shows the initial problems, such as water infiltration, condensation, and unpleasant odors, as well as the solutions applied, including CleanSpace™ drainage membrane, CleanSpace™ vapor barrier, and SilverGlo™ insulation. Each step illustrates how these interventions protect the structure, improve comfort, and ensure a durable and secure home.
Crawl space problems
The crawl space had water infiltration from the garage drain, high humidity, condensation, unpleasant odors, and insufficient insulation, causing discomfort, mold, and risks to the structure of the house.
Installation of the CleanSpace™ drainage membrane
The CleanSpace™ drainage membrane was installed to effectively redirect water to the perimeter drainage or sump pump. Its honeycomb surface allows for better drainage and increases the durability of the encapsulation system, while stabilizing the crawl space floor.
Installation of CleanSpace™ vapor barrier and SilverGlo™ insulation
The CleanSpace™ vapor barrier, featuring 7 layers and UltraFresh antimicrobial additive, blocks moisture and prevents mold growth and deterioration of organic materials. SilverGlo™ insulation completes the system by providing a high-performance thermal barrier, ensuring a dry, insulated, and energy-efficient crawl space.
