A wet Crawl Space in Verdun, Montreal
Our team of professionals went to a homeowner in Montreal's Verdun neighborhood to inspect his place.
The joists of the floor of the residence began to collapse, because moisture from the ground attacked them. Our team has then advised the installation of support pillars in order to stabilize the house.
Following the installation, the owner was very satisfied with the work done by our experienced technicians.

Mr. Kherraf from Verdun QC called us complaining about structural issues related to the girders crawl space. Although he did not know much about Crawl Spaces, Mr.Kherraf went to Basement Systems Quebec website to learn more about the solutions available to him.
Our team of professionals decided to install 6 SmartJack support pillars and metal girders to support the upper floor.
The SmartJack Support Pillars are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a Crawl Space. In Addition they are very robust (support loads of more than 60,000 lbs. each), and our SmartJack solution is the only one that addresses problem soils due to the special base of engineered fill we create.
Stabilization of joists in a crawl space in verdun, Qc
SmartJacks supports are the best solution to stabilize crawl spaces. These are galvanized steel support devices that solve the problem of joists and posts that are sagging and weakening.
SmartJacks supports effectively spread the weight of the house on the competent ground. So we installed this solution with our Verdun customers who had floor problems.
The SmartJack system is adjustable, so you can tighten it periodically to bring the floor above the crawl space to its original level to eliminate twists and adjust the leveling of the floor.
Crawl Space Repair in Verdun, Montreal
The foundation walls in this house in Verdun region was damaged because of a constant infiltration of water in the crawl space. We tore off those walls and installed steel columns (Smart-Jack) after building cement bases underneath to make the foundation stronger.
In addition, since it was impossible to install a French drain in the area, we have installed our internal drain ‘the SmartPump, sump pump drain system to solve the problem of water infiltration once and for all.
Encapsulation of a crawl space in Bois-Des-Filions, Qc
The problem:
This Bois-des-Filion customer contacted us so that we could solve his mold problem in his crawl space. This is caused by the high humidity in it. In addition, there was a lot of wood which was rotten and it was necessary to act quickly so that the problem does not get worst.
The solution :
One of our certified specialists visited his crawl space and suggested that we need to first remove the mold that was present with our Mold X product. Subsequently, our foreman installed a drainage membrane to facilitate the flow of water.
Following this, we encapsulated this crawl space with our CleanSpace membrane, this membrane mainly serves to prevent water vapor from coming out of the ground and going up to the upper floors. When everything was finished and to maximize the efficiency of the CleanSpace system, our specialist installed our product Sedona SandiDry, which is a high performance dehumidifier. Its goal is to dry out your crawl space as much as possible and reduce the humidity level as much as possible.
Since our intervention, this client from Bois-des-Filion now benefits from a dry crawl space without mold.
