Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A wet crawl space is unhealthy since it leads to a range of health and safety problems in your home. These can include mold growth, pest invasions and even rotted floor joists.

The best way to avoid the headaches caused by these problems is to encapsulate the area as we did here in Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs.

First we installed the CleanSpace membrane which is an ultra-resistant coating specially made for crawl spaces. Then we installed a SuperSump pump with very high pumping volumes, for freezing line protection we installed our IceGuard accessory, and finally to dry and purify the air, we installed our SaniDry XP air dehumidification system.

The management of Saint-Jerome day care center knew that the health and the quality of the air in their place need to be perfect. Since the place is mainly filled with babies and kids, it will be very bad if mold and bacteria spread in that place.

We have sent our specialist Jorge to check the entire place and examine the crawl space and after locating the problem he recommended many solutions for all the problems.

As a start, the debris has been removed by the Mold-X2. Mold-X2 is a very strong mold decontamination product that we apply to all wood and masonry.

Then we installed the SmartSump sump pump system which is our smallest system specifically designed to be installed in crawl spaces.

Next step was installing the CleanSpace membrane, which is a vapor barrier that blocks water infiltrations and vapors to redirect them to the interior drainage system.

And finally and in order to dehumidify the place, the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was inserted. This product is the most efficient direct flow system and is also very energy efficient (EnergyStar).

Problem:

Moisture in the basement. The concrete block foundation walls were not insulated and Ms. Ducharme therefore wished to have them insulated.

The efflorescence (white color) on the concrete shows that there has been infiltration of water and humidity through the walls.

 Solution:

Insulate concrete walls with our Foamax insulation panels. Made of high performance polyisocyanurate foam and coated with a white finish on one side and a vapor barrier on the back, Foamax makes the basement warmer and brighter.

Problem

Infiltration of water in the crawl space creating humidity, mold and rot on the wood. Hence the humidity made the house less comfortable.

Solution

Encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace drainage membrane and liner on the floor and walls. And then install a SuperSump sump pump system. Humidity will be reduced or even eliminated, and infiltrating water will be expelled outside the house thanks to our SuperSump pump.

Tucked away in scenic Hampstead, QC, a homeowner faced the chill of a cold crawl space– a common dilemma that disrupts comfort and energy efficiency. Before our intervention, as visible in the photo, the space was bare and unwelcoming. However, transforming a hassle into harmonious living is our forte. By administering our CleanSpace and SilverGlo solutions, we encapsulated and insulated the area, evident in the after photo. Notice the seamless integration, built to last and fortify against the cold, providing both immediate relief and enduring protection. This goes beyond mere repair; it's creating a solid foundation for warmth and energy efficiency, right where it matters.
