Photo Album: Encapsulation and dehumidification of a service cellar in Sainte-Sophie, Quebec.
It is very important to encapsulate a crawl space, in order to preserve the life of your building materials such as wood, support beams and improve the quality of the air flowing from below to the top, since the danger lies in water vapor and mold that aggravates in the area, especially during the hot summer months.
Mold is harmful for the condition of the wood and for your health.
To solve this problem, we installed the CleanSpace membrane which is an ultra-resistant coating specially made for crawl spaces.
In addition, to dry and purify the air, we installed our SaniDry XP air dehumidification system. The water vapor is reduced to the recommended rate to make this place a healthy and usable place, adding value to your home.
Finally, to strengthen the support beams and stabilize the foundations of the crawl space, we installed our SmartJacks support pillars.

Crawl spaces are very often filled with water, causing water vapor to escape into the air and make it moist and full of bacteria.

Old support pillars
Support pillars are very important for solidifying a crawl space where the wood starts to rot.
Installing SmartJacks Pillars
They are perfect for permanently stabilizing the foundations of this house while being adjustable to the height of the void and can be tightened over time depending on changes and movements of the ground.
