Photo Album: Encapsulation of a crawl space in Montreal,Qc
Problem:
Mr. Tella had moisture problems in his house that came from the earthen crawl space.
Solution:
Encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. It is installed on the earthen floor of the crawl space and sealed to the wall. Moisture coming from the earthen floor is then blocked. The crawl space will therefore be drier and the rest of the house too.
Humid crawl space in Montreal
The soil crawl space was not encapsulated, which has allowed all vapors to escape and humidify the air.
A crawl space filled with mold and bacteria
When the crawl space is not encapsulated, it will to become a favorable space for the proliferation of bacteria.
Dangers of moisture in a crawl space
Moisture affects the organic building material as water and vapors decompose and shorten the life of the wood.
Cleanspace membrane installed
The CleanSpace membrane is a vapor barrier that blocks water infiltrations and vapors to redirect them to the interior drainage system.
Final picture of the crawl space
The membrane is ultra-resistant and contains a non-toxic antibacterial that blocks the proliferation of bacteria.
