Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

This house in Beauharnois had some problems in its crawl space.

The place was very filthy and wet, in addition mold was growing very fast, which was affecting the air in the house as well.

Our team encapsulated this crawl space by installing our waterproofing products such as the SmartSump system and isolated the house from the earth by installing  an antibacterial vapor barrier membrane that prevents all water vapors and bacteria from infiltrating and infecting the air.

 Finally we added our SaniDry system in order to dehumidify the air.

This product is specially designed for crawl spaces.

When water seeps into the crawl space and gets stuck, the water evaporates into the air and humidifies the basement.

This is the case of our client’s crawl space in Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, that had a 79% level of humidity in the place, in addition to a wet and dirty area all the time.

Our team recommended a waterproofing solution and that would solve the problem of infiltration of water and moisture.

We installed the WaterGuard Interior Drain on the perimeter where there was a footing at the foundation and covered the concrete walls with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane that blocks moisture.

We received the following request from Nathalie in L'Île-Perrot: "I need an estimate of costs for water infiltration in the basement. Cracks are apparent”

So we sent our specialist Mike to perform a complete inspection and submit a quote to this client who wants to solve his problem of infiltration of water in the basement. He recommended the following solution:

Close the cracks by injecting polyurethane, install an interior drain (our WaterGuard drain system) along the perimeter of the basement on the footing of the foundation, connect the drain to a SuperSump sump pump system to drain the water away from the house automatically, cover the wall with the CleanSpace membrane which is a vapor barrier to block water vapor from the wall.

The basement is now dry and will remain so at all times because we have solved the problem at the source.

The foundations of this crawl space at Wentworth were threatened by moisture that damaged organic foundations such as pillars and wooden beams. The wet spaces are a favorable place for the proliferation of molds and bacteria.

Water vapor and mold damage organic foundations and put your home at risk, without noticing the harmful effects they can also have on the quality of the air you breathe.

To solve the problem, we installed galvanized steel support pillars and joists that are not affected by moisture and bacteria. They stabilize the house structure once and for all.

We also installed the CleanSpace membrane that blocks water vapor so that the crawl space does not become wet than the acceptable and recommended rate.

Thus, the space is drier and healthier, the structure is protected and restored and the space becomes usable, which brings value to the house!

We have repaired this house’s foundation in Wentworth, and stabilized it to resist ground movement by installing 7 support pillars Pushpiers

The PushPier pillar is a patented product and it features an outer sleeve that reinforces the pillar device directly under the support which is the most critical place.

 It strengthens this area and prevents twisting, distortion and rotation that are commonly observed in other support pillar devices.
