Humidity Problems Caused by a Dirt Crawl Space in Upton, Quebec
Mrs. Belhumeur, located in Upton, Quebec, was concerned because her dirt crawl space wasn’t waterproofed, and it was causing humidity issues in her home. She decided to do some internet research to find a solution to her problem. She came across our website and decided to fill out our request form. We promptly responded to her request and booked an appointment for a specialist to go look at her crawl space. Our specialist Eric headed over to visit Mrs. Belhumeur in Upton to complete the inspection. He concluded that the best plan would be to fully encapsulate the crawl space to prevent the moisture from the dirt from infiltrating her home.
Our foreman Cedrick and his team went to Upton to complete the installation. They first laid out the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Drainage Matting System across the entirety of the crawl space floor. This drainage matting system is designed to collect water from the crawl space floor and direct it to a sump pump and perimeter drainage pipe. They then installed a layer of the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier on top of the drainage matting. This product was created as a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material that will permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting into your crawl space. Our client can now enjoy her home without the worries of the consequences that come from an unencapsulated dirt crawl space. Another job well done by our team at Basement Systems Quebec.
