Photo Album: Crawl space encapsulation in Montreal, Qc
Mme Renaud has an earth crawl space and stone walls that are not insulated. This is not ideal, as water and moisture enter from the open spaces between the stones in the wall and seep in easily and create a wet crawl space.
She wanted to sort out her wet and cold crawl space problem because she wanted to use that space to store her belongings and she didn't want to put them in a damp place and on the ground.
Ms. Renaud decided to contact Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to make her crawl space dry and clean.

Dirty crawl space
A wet crawl space will be a haven for all the insects and will increase mold growth.
Deteriorated wooden beams
Water in the crawl space is very bad and will affect the structure of the whole place.
Installation of the drainage membrane
This membrane will direct the surface water towards the sump pump.
CleanSpace installation
In order to insulate the soil from the house, we installed our CleanSpace coating over the drainage membrane and on the stone walls.
CleanSpace membrane
It has a thickness of 20 ml and is made of several layers of plastic with different characteristics in terms of flexibility and resistance to punctures and tears. It is extremely durable and additionally includes an antimicrobial ingredient to prevent mold growth.
