Basement Renovations in Namur, QC

PROBLEM

There was an unfinished part within the basement, resembling a crawlspace, was excessive humidity with uncomfortable odors. We identified several mold spots, as well as efflorescence. 

SOLUTION

1) Encapsulation of the problematic area to eliminate harmful moisture and the installation of a sump pump.

CleanSpace system: It involves covering the floor and walls with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier above. The drainage membrane has a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the sump pump. The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive humidity. This barrier also includes an antimicrobial additive, preventing mold growth.

Installing SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, a pump liner, a cover, a sealed sump basin, and a WaterWatch alarm to prevent any potential disasters.
