Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Encapsulating a crawl space in Gore, Qc
Our customer inherited a house in Gore and immediately noticed a musty smell. She suspected the crawl space was the cause for it and when she called our company we told her that we needed to inspect her place, in order to monitor the cause and give her permanent solutions.
We first installed a CleanSpace membrane that is an ultra-resistant vapor barrier specifically designed to block water vapor. In addition, we installed the TripleSafe for triple protection and finally our SaniDry dehumifier was inserted to help prevent mold and reduce musty odors.

The negative effects of a wet crawl space
Puddles of water in the crawl space aren’t good, but the water itself won’t ruin your home. It’s the water vapor (or moisture) that causes rot, mold, energy loss, and attracts pests.

The first step to fixing a wet crawl space is to determine what’s causing the water problem, that’s why u need to contact experts such as our company.
Installation of the TripleSafe sump pump
