Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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.

Before encountering our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, the homeowner in Princeville, QC, dealt with a damp, earth-floor crawl space, creating an ideal setting for humidity and discomfort. Our remedy, showcased in the accompanying photos, was the CleanSpace encapsulation system and the SmartDrain system. Notice in the before image the evident issue—a space vulnerable to moisture and the myriad of problems it brings. Fast forward to the after photo, and you’re looking at a transformed space—dry, sealed, and efficiently insulated. Our precise installation offers not just an immediate improvement in air quality and comfort but promises enduring protection against humidity for years to come.

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.

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.
