Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Problem

Mr. Boutin had a crawl space that was not insulated, where water was infiltrating through the walls and the floor. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to have a dry crawl space and strengthen the support beams that were made of wood.

Solution

Insulate crawl space walls with our SilverGlo panels and add our CleanSpace vapor barrier to lock in moisture and provide a clear appearance.

Replace the sump pump with our SmartSump system which contains a 1/3 HP cast iron Zoeller pump.

Add our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity level and filter the air.

Reinforce slowly decaying wooden support beams by adding galvanized steel SmartJack pillars.

Here is another wet crawl space but this time it’s in Coteau-Du-Lac, Qc.

Our client was complaining about the damp area and the mold growth that was spreading into his house.

After her call and the place inspection, we recommended him to install a CleanSpace membrane to block water vapor; a TerroBlock insulation system that is specially made for crawl spaces, and finally a SmartSump pump to pump all the water out of the area and reduce the moisture in the place.

We have encapsulated this crawl space in Coteau Du Lac and transformed it from an earthen place with moist air into a dry, clean and bright space that can be used for useful purposes.

This has added more usable space to this home and increased its value.

Now our client uses it to store his seasonal items since the air has become dry and of better quality because the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane contains an antibacterial additive that prevents the formation and proliferation of bacteria and molds and blocks water vapor.

So the air that moves from the crawl space to the upper floors is now healthy.

Mr. Galarneau from Boileau, Quebec, faced a persistent humidity problem at home for five years. After extensive internet searches, he discovered our website and reached out for help. Upon receiving his request, we promptly conducted a free inspection and provided a quote. Our specialist assessed the situation and recommended a comprehensive solution, including full encapsulation of the dirt crawl space using CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier and CleanSpace® Crawl Space Drainage Matting System. Three SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer piers were installed to reinforce the floor, along with a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system, and IceGuard® and LawnScape discharge systems.

Foreman Felix executed the installation, addressing structural issues by installing SmartJack® piers. The dirt crawl space was encapsulated to reduce humidity, and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System was added for efficient water drainage. To prevent freezing and ensure proper water disposal, two IceGuard® and one LawnScape™ Discharge Line Outlet Systems were installed. Thanks to the expertise of our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, Mr. Galarneau's long-standing issues are now permanently resolved, saving him time and money.
