Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Crawl space encapsulation in POINTE-CALUMET, Qc

The problem Mrs. Desjarlaies had humidity problems in her house that came from her earthen crawl space that was not insulated. The relative humidity in the crawl space at the time of the inspection with our specialist was 83.2%. With such high humidity, mold and rot of organic materials develop and the comfort of the house is affected. The solution - Install a new SmartSump sump system, a CleanSpace drainage membrane and liner, and then a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. With these solutions, the water that is in the ground will be removed and expelled outside, the humidity coming from the earth floor and the concrete block foundation walls will be blocked thanks to the CleanSpace and the humidity level can be controlled by the dehumidifier.
