Photo Album: Crawl Space encapsulation in Howick, Qc
We encapsulated this entire place in Howick, Qc
The crawl space was suffering from water accumulation due to water leakage, bacteria and mold growth.
We started by isolating the house from the ground with the CleanSpace vapor barrier. Installed SmartJack support Beams, then we installed a SmartSump pump that allows the crawl space to be protected in case of a plumbing leak by intercepting the water and alarming you with the problem.
Crawl Space entrance
Much of the water leakage was coming from this place so when the crawl space entrance is outside, it is always important to insulate it.
Contaminated water in a crawl space due to water flood
The water accumulated was very filthy and filled with all kinds of bacteria and microbes.

When the crawl space is not isolated from the house and the soil of the area where the house is located is a soil filled with water, the water vapor emerges and humidifies much of the crawl space air.
Insertion of the Drainage Rock
Drainage Rock is medium, sized rock that can be used to create stable drainage bases.
They are used for drainage since they are durable; and are also regularly used for backfill, drainage solutions, or pipe bedding.
Cleanspace drainage matting
Crawl space liners rest directly on the crawl space floor. If your crawl space is flooding, water can be trapped underneath, never making it to your perimeter drain.
The raised dimples on our CleanSpace Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner.
Cleanspace membrane installed in Howick
The CleanSpace membrane insulates the house from the ground to block the water vapor that seeps in to keep it from dampening the space and harming your building materials.

The CleanSpace waterproofing membrane contains an antibacterial additive that blocks the growth of bacteria and mold.
SmartSump pump installed in a crawl space in Howick
The SmartSump is designed to fit the CleanSpace liner. The sump pump will pump and water from the ground up and out of the house.
The SmartSump is a great addition for any crawl space encapsulation system.
SmartJack beams fitted in the crawl space
Our team installed several smart jacks and supplemental beams in problem area.
We were able to lift the subfloor back into place perfectly like nothing ever happened.
