A wet crawl space encapsulated in Chelsea, Qc

Challenge

Mrs. Cuff wanted to use her crawl space as storage space, but there was a problem to be solved first: humidity.

And for that, she contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a permanent and reliable solution.

Solution

The solution

Encapsulate the crawl space with the addition of a sump pump system.

First, our experts dug in order to install the SmartSump sump pump system. It is connected with a discharge line which will expel the water away from the foundation of the house.

For encapsulation, they laid the drainage mat on the ground so that the water that ends up on the surface goes directly to the SmartSump. Finally, our CleanSpace coating is installed over the drainage mat. Material with a thickness of 20 mm composed of polyethylene and antimicrobial, it blocks moisture from the soil and prevents the proliferation of mold. It also gives a clear and bright appearance to the crawl space.

With this solution, Mrs. Cuff will be able to use her crawl space as storage space and above all have a dry crawl space!
