Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The problem: This client from Montreal noticed that there was sag of an inch and a half in his duplex. So he decided to contact us to find out what could be done.

The solution: After inspecting the customer's basement, the solution proposed by our specialist John was to install a SmartJack. This product will help stabilize the customer's floor sag.

Problem

Mrs. Laflamme had humidity problems in her crawl space. During her free inspection with our specialist, a humidity level of more than 64% was detected. The wooden support beams were rotting and the rim joists were sagging.

Solution

Encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace drainage membrane and vapor barrier to block moisture from the earth floor. To reinforce the end joists, our experts installed our galvanized steel SmartJack pillars.

Our client Ms. Belley contacted us because her crawl space needed insulation. We installed a drainage membrane and completely encapsulated the crawl space with a CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane. Then we installed a new sump pump system specifically made for crawl spaces. And to properly insulate the crawl space from the cold outside, we have installed insulation panels on all the walls.

The SmartJack system raises and stabilizes beams and floor joists in your crawl space. A specially designed solid backfill base addresses the problem of inadequate foundation soil by transferring the weight of the house to a competent soil layer. Steel columns are secured under the beams or joists of the crawl space. Robust threaded rods allow each SmartJack pole to be adjusted to the desired height. We are very happy to have worked on this project!
