Photo Album: Encapsulating a basement in Gatineau, Qc
Crawl spaces in Quebec need constant maintenance and follow up. When we received a call from a customer in Gatineau informing us about his place, we went right away to inspect the place and for free, in order to provide the best solutions for this place.
Below you can find details about the encapsulation ad the end result!
Crawl space before our intervention
The crawl space was very filthy and filled with mold
Water residues
Water will make the beams unstable.
Digging for the support beams
Crawl space jacks, such as the SmartJack provided by Supportworks, are adjustable metal beams that are easily and cost-effectively installed in a crawl space.
Importance of the Support Jacks
Crawl space support jacks work by transferring the load of a house from the beams and sending it downwards into the existing soils
Cleanspace drainage matting installed
The CleanSpace will prevent water vapor from leaving the floor and rising to the upper floors.
