Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Encapsulating a crawl space in Saint-Jacques-Le-Majeur, Qc
Water was entering this crawl space in Saint-Jacques-Le-Majeur through the walls and floors. It was actually leaking in through the surrounding soil during heavy rains or melting snow.
In order to restrain this water, we encapsulated the crawl space with a CleanSpace Liner, a SmartDrain to collect water, and finally a SaniDry Cx dehumidifier to dry out the place and remove the moisture!
Water in the crawl space
You can see water forming here at the top of the crawl space ceiling.
Organic materials versus humidity
Organic materials will get deteriorated when exposed to humidity, and this will affect badly on the state of the house.
CleanSpace installed in Saint-Jacques-Le-Majeur
If you have a dirt crawl space under your home and you're experiencing a musty smell, feeling of dampness, or cold floors inside your home, you could benefit from adding a vapor barrier in your crawl space.
CleanSpace importance
This liner is made of a sturdy plastic that will completely lock out any moisture trying to find its way into the interior of the crawl space.
SmartDrain installed
For homeowners who would like to be protected against potential unexpected plumbing leaks but do not feel ready to install an entire crawl space sump pump system, they may want to consider the SmartDrain system.
SaniDry Cx
The SaniDry CX is a self-draining system that eliminates the chore of emptying collection trays, while an air filter eliminates particles from the air as small as 2 microns!
Advantages of the SaniDry
It removes up To 109 Pints of water daily with a powerful 300CFM blowing motor, and can operate in temps as low as 40°F.
