Photo Album: A problematic crawl space in Wentworth

A customer from Wentworth contacted us as she was looking for repair solutions for her crawl space problem: sagging foundations, moisture and mold problems. Water infiltration and water vapor are a threat to the organic structure of the foundation as well as to the quality of the air and the environment. Our specialist Andrew went to inspect the problem and recommended a solution to solidify the foundations through the SmartJacks support pillars and PowerBrace beams. To block water vapor and reduce humidity, we have encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane.

Crawl Space inspection

For many people, the crawl space is a lost and forgotten space. Although it is not thought, a poor crawl space affects the solid structure of the house and the quality of the environment and comfort.

2- Space gained

Once the crawl space is solidified and encapsulated, you can use it to store your belongings without the risk of damage, rotting or being affected by mold.

High humidity in the crawl space

Humidity at the top of 55% is considered high and harmful to health. It is therefore imperative to solve the problem by isolating the crawl space of the house.

Complete solution for solidifying the crawl space

Not only did the foundations have to be solidified, but the moisture problem had to be solved. Moist air damages building materials and therefore wooden pillars and joists.
