Photo Album: Insulation of a crawl space in Hudson, Qc

Mr. Rees had purchased a new home in 2017. Over time, he noticed that there was mold in his crawl space and that there was an unpleasant smell in the house. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to fix the situation quickly so that it would not get worse. Our team installed our SmartSump sump pump, placed our membrane on the ground which allows the water to drain on the ground surface to the pump, installed our Cleanspace over the membrane and then connected our Sanidry dehumidifier. With all of these elements, mold growth is eliminated and Mr Rees' crawl space is dry and clean!

Crawl space before insulation

A crawl space that is not insulated causes a lot of damage to the home and to the quality of life. It is important to make sure to stop water infiltration and to insulate it well in order to avoid the high level of humidity in the crawl space and the house.

Sump pump not very efficient

The sump pump he had was not efficient which caused water infiltration in the crawl space.

Mold found on wood

There were several places in the crawl space where our experts found mold on the wood. The cause? Well the high humidity level in the crawl space.

Rusty piping

The piping in the crawl space was badly rusted. High humidity is the cause.

Installation of our drainage membrane

This membrane is placed directly on the floor of the crawl space. It allows the water that ends up on the surface to go to the sump pump.

Waterproofed and insulated crawl space

The work is finished. The drainage membrane installed and the CleanSpace coating installed over it. This prevents the water in the soil from evaporating and creating moisture. It has a clean appearance and is made with an antimicrobial additive.
