High humidity in a house in Lasalle, Qc
Over time, Mr. Moran noticed a high level of humidity in his house. Its wooden floors began to warp and an unpleasant smell of mold was circulating in the house. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a permanent and reliable solution!
The problem
Well this is the crawl space. Water infiltration and the lack of insulation made the crawl space very humid. The humidity affected the wooden floor causing it to curl slightly, causing this foul odor and affecting our client's comfort in their home.
The solution
Our experts first insulated the crawl space walls with our SilverGlo insulation panels. Then they laid our drainage mat on the ground to drain the surface water to the SmartSump sump pump system that was in place. Then, they installed our CleanSpace coating designed to block humidity and thus insulate the floor of the house. It also gives a clean and bright appearance to the crawl space. Finally, they added our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. It filters the air and eliminates moisture.
With this encapsulation solution, Mr. Moran will no longer have a problem with humidity and foul odor. It now has a dry crawl space!
Crawl space before work
The customer's crawl space before work. He used this space as a storage place. However, there was a lot of humidity due to water infiltration and lack of insulation.
Wall insulation with SilverGlo and drainage mat on the floor
Our experts installed our SilverGlo insulation panels on the crawl space walls and then covered the floor with the drainage mat. It allows surface water to flow directly to the sump pump system.
SilverGlo insulation
Our experts seal all air leaks in order to reduce the ventilation of the crawl space, because we want it to remain dry at all times.
CleanSpace installation step
After the drainage mat is installed, the CleanSpace liner is installed over the drainage mat.

Our SilverGlo insulation boards, the drainage mat and the CleanSpace coating make a great trio for removing moisture. Add the Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to it, and the humidity is over!
