Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Our client Mr. Randy found that during winter the main floor of his property was really cold, colder than the rest of the house. Yet he knew that the crawl space had been isolated by the former owners. He saw on our website that these spaces are one of our areas of expertise and that our team offers free quotes so he took quickly an appointment.

During the appointment, Mr. Randy showed the space and the existing insulation to our certified specialist. The choice of insulation was not efficient and certainly not efficient enough for a crawl space with exposed earth.

Our specialist recommended our CleanSpace encapsulation product. This membrane acts as a barrier between the earth and the rest of the house, blocking as much moisture in the water, as in insects or rodents. Mr. Randy also included the TerraBlock insulation product for additional insulation.

Over 8 years ago, when Mr. Serge and his family moved to this house,the plan was to address the crawl space problem. For several reasons, Mr. Serge decided to postpone the work, telling himself that it was not a priority and that the problem would perhaps resolve itself. 8 years later, water infiltration is still present and now a smell of humidity is found on the floors. It was time to fix the situation once and for all.

 Our team went to do a complete appraisal of the property, lasting nearly 2 hours. It is essential for us to properly identify the needs of the situation and to respond to the customer's concerns. When there is water infiltration and affected air quality, it is important to resolve the situation quickly. Our specialist advised Mr. Serge on the combination of the CleanSpace product to insulate the crawl space and a very efficient dehumidifier, the SaniDry.

Mr. Bissonnette's basement was in a very poor condition. For 2 years, its foundation has been moving slightly and this has created cracks in its foundation, but also a subsidence of its floor on the main floor.

In order to solve the problem of floor saging, our experts installed a SmartJack support to support the floor joist system and stabilize the beam in a way that will raise the floor above the basement to its original position. . It creates a solid base specially designed to distribute the weight of the house.

Mr. Cyr contacted us because the floor of his house was sagging and needed support. So we went to him for a free estimate. On the day of the installation, our workers dug holes where the beams had to be installed. Next, they installed 5 galvanized steel SmartJack beams that support the ceiling of the crawl space.

Problem

Mr. Vincent contacted us after noticing irritating odors in his house. Our specialist, Dan noticed excessive humidity, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere in the adjacent rooms. Dan then directly examined the crawlspace of this house, which was the source of all these complications. Dan explained that a bad and moldy crawlspace could further cause structural damage to the house's foundation.

Solution

Upon receiving the authorization, our team of workers installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system throughout the crawlspace. CleanSpace includes a drainage matting and a perimeter drainage. Next, we implemented a flexible layer of thermal insulation called TerraBlock. TerraBlock is made from a ¾-inch thick foam insulation. It is resistant and durable to allow access for repairmen and homeowners inside the crawl space. Finally, we installed our SmartDrain to prevent any water infiltration in case of plumbing leaks.
