Mold formation in a crawl space in Parisville, Quebec
In Parisville, QC, a homeowner was troubled by a strong moisture odor, water droplets, and mold formation in their 3 ft. accessible crawl space. Trusting us to provide a solution, we installed our CleanSpace system. Now, as seen in the 'after' photo, the area is completely transformed - clean, dry, and free of unpleasant odors. With our CleanSpace technology, we not only solved the problem but also enhanced their home environment.
Crawlspace encapsulation in Disraeli, QC
PROBLEM
Our client, living in Disraeli, was having problems with his crawl space. In fact, his house is located on the edge of a lake. Thus he had difficulty heating his crawl space. In addition, there was excess humidity, which damaged the air quality in the house.
Our customer visited our website and filled out the form for a free inspection. Our specialist Alain entered the crawlspace for a detailed inspection. He directly noticed the excess humidity through the efflorescence stains on the walls. In addition, there was a bad smell. Alain explained to our client that the solution lies in the encapsulation of the crawlspace, indicating that a crawlspace in such state is very harmful for the house's residents, and on the other hand, it could cause structural damage in the near future.
SOLUTION
The encapsulation of the crawl space consists of installing our CleanSpace system, including two types of covering on the floor: The first drainage membrane equipped with "honeycomb" spaces to be able to retain infiltrated water, and the second membrane will act as a vapor barrier for not allowing moisture to spread.
Additionally, our revolutionary SilverGlo thermal insulation is installed on crawlspace walls to prevent air from escaping, and subsequently losing temperature.
Finally, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is installed as an additional tool to control humidity.

Problem
- Bad odors were spreading from the crawlspace.
- Excessive moisture had led to the formation of mold spots, making the air unhealthy.
- The existing pump was not in a sump pit, and struggled to remove infiltrated water.
Solution
- Installation of the SmartSump system: We dug into the ground to install the pump system's receptacle. In addition to the powerful Zoeller pump, the SmartSump system includes a lid and a sealed drain, as well as an alarm to warn in case of potential flooding danger.
- Implementing our perimeter drainage, along with our CleanSpace vapor barrier on top: The perimeter drainage has an alveolus surface that helps transporting infiltrated water to the sump pump. Furthermore, our vapor barrier prevents water from evaporating into the air and inhibits mold growth.
- Installing the SilverGlo thermal insulation on the crawl space walls. It has a radiant barrier that reflects heat inside the crawl space for energy savings.

Encapsulation of a crawl space in Saint-Lambert-De-Lauzon, Qc
When a crawl space is not isolated, accumulated water will humidify all the place and help bacteria to spread all over the place, reaching the house as well!
So when our team went to check up this place in Saint-Lambert-De-Lauzon, they recommended an encapsulation system from a CleanSpace liner, a CleanSpace Drainage Matting to our SaniDry Cx dehumidifier.
The CleanSpace membrane is a vapor barrier that blocks water infiltrations and vapors. The membrane is ultra-resistant and contains a non-toxic antibacterial that blocks the proliferation of bacteria.
