Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The problem:

This Bois-des-Filion customer contacted us in order to solve the mold problem in his crawl space which is caused by high humidity. In addition, there was a lot of wood which was rotten so, it was necessary to act quickly so that the problem did not worsen.

The solution :

One of our certified specialists visited his crawl space and suggested that he needed to first remove the mold that was present with our Mold X product. Then, our foreman installed a drainage membrane to facilitate the flow of water.

Following this, our specialist encapsulated his 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 done, 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.

Before: A customer from SouthWest, Montreal started noticing that the floor of his upper house was sagging, in addition to Drywall cracks throughout the house.

After: Following the inspection of our specialist, our company has recommended the installation of a CleanSpace membrane, a SmartSump pump system, and SmartJack Pillars

This solution pleased this resident of Southwest because it has solved her problems in a short time and for a reasonable investment.

The foundation of Mr. Diaz's house was slowly sagging. He knew that if he does nothing, his foundation will continue to sag. So he wanted to have it fixed before the problem gets worse. He decided to contact Système Sous-sol Québec to obtain a permanent solution.

The problem was that the ground under the foundation is weak and unstable. This caused movement of the wooden beams which support the weight of the house causing overload of weight and slits in the beams in several places. Because of this, the foundation was quietly sagging.

The solution for our client is to install SmartJack supports to support the joist reinforcement device in place. A hole is dug in the earth for each SmartJack installed and is filled with compacted fill to create a stable base. About ten brackets were installed in order to support the weight evenly and straighten the floor to the floor above in its initial position.

 With this solution, Mr. Diaz will have nothing more to fear for his foundation.

We have repaired our Client’s crawl space in SouthWest Montreal after our client noticed his house floor was sagging.

Furthermore, we have Installed our company's  SmartJack Support Pillars which are steel support systems used to stabilized and level the girders and floor joists in a Crawlspace.

The SmartJAcks Support Pillar is the best system to lift above floors and walls back to their original position.

PROBLEM

Krystle, the owner of a house in Montreal, was facing issues due to complications with her floor. There were several areas incarnating floor slops. In addition, there some gaps between the floor and some of the interior wall. Our specialist Cesar visited Krystle for a free inspection. In addition to the bouncy floor, some doors and windows were stuck, making them difficult to open or close.

While inspecting the crawlspace, Cesar immediately felt the excess moisture. The wood began to rot and to become more and more weak. Consequently, the main beams and floor joists were unable to support the weight of the house, leading to sagging floor.

SOLUTION

Installing the SmartJack system to stabilize the floor joists in the crawlspace. In this case, it included six galvanized steel columns with a 16'' horizontal beam. What sets our SmartJack system apart is that the columns are adjustable depending on the size of each crawlspace. Additionally, galvanized steel is corrosion-resistant, thus ensuring the durability of the system. On the other hand, the installation of the columns and the horizontal beam is quick, with minimal disruption to the household.
