Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Problem

• High humidity in the crawl space and inside the house

• Damaged Joists and support pillars in the crawl space due to humidity

• Sagging of the main floor

Solution

Encapsulation of the crawl space with our CleanSpace drainage membrane and vapor barrier then the installation of additional SmartJack support pillars to reinforce the structure of the house.

In Sainte-Clotilde-de-Horton, QC, we tackled a century-old house showing the signs of time and distress. With an irregular stone foundation causing unsettling across floors, it was a call for us at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec. As you can see in the photos, we introduced our reliable SmartJack and CleanSpace solutions. The transformation is astounding—solid, stabilized floors above and a protected, encased crawl space below. With such foundation fortification, the home is now prepared to stand another century.

The problem: The client found that she had humidity coming from her crawl space, the windows were often fogged up. In addition, she told us during the inspection that her dehumidifier worked all year round and that was not a good sign.

The solution: For this project, they used CleanSpace and a smartsump in order to considerably reduce the humidity level in this crawl space. They also installed a discharge line with an Iceguard so that the water could be redirected even in winter.

Our client identified a humidity problem in his crawl space and wanted a permanent solution. He contacted our company after a brief search on the internet.

Our specialist has performed an assessment and recommended a three-tier solution.

A CleanSpace to isolate the earth and the humidity it releases from the rest of the crawl space. SilverGlo insulate the foundation walls and SaniDry to continuously reduce the relative humidity.

Our client benefits from a dry crawl space all year round.

This crawl space in Victoriaville was very damp and filled with mold.

Our client knew that he needed to encapsulate it since the air inside was flowing into the upper house, and mold growth was increasing.

Part of keeping your crawl space dry involves installing a CleanSpace water vapor and a SaniDry humidifier.

The CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system is a high-duty 7-Layer liner material, like a pool liner. It gets installed across the floor and up the walls in order to stop all water vapor from the walls or soil.

Once the Cleanspace is installed, we needed to install the SaniDry dehumidification system. This system comes in a lower height unit specially made for crawl spaces.
