Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

PROBLEM

There was a smell of mold upstairs as well as a great humidity was felt in the house of Mr. Jean-Pierre in Saint-Chrysostome, Qc

SOLUTION

We installed a SmartDrain, 2 SmartJacks, SilverGlow as well as TerraBlock. The client can now enjoy his home, without any unpleasant odors and without having to worry about the stability of the foundation.

A very important element for the installation of SmartJack poles is their engineering base. The geotechnical engineers and the manufacturers of this product, have trained our teams to install the best engineering base for the posts (seen under the post), allowing to dissipate up to 90% the weight that supports the pole.

This crawl space in Oka was flooded during springtime and there was the presence of mold that developed all over the Crawl Space.

Water and moisture were damaging the foundation and the concrete of the place.

We sent our specialist Eugene to perform a full inspection and recommend the best solution.

We started by decontaminating the entire crawl space to eliminate mold and fungi.

And since encapsulation will allow the crawl space to be protected at all times, our team encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane which is a membrane that insulates the house from the earth.

 The CleanSpace membrane is specially designed for crawl spaces: it is thick, sturdy, tear-resistant and contains an antibacterial additive.

And finally, we stabilized the foundations with our SmartJacks galvanized steel support beams. These beams support the joists and will be highly resistant to the hostile environment of the crawl space.

When you receive instructions from your insurance company to repair your crawl space and you do not really know what a crawl space is and how to isolate it, trust specialists who have been doing this for years with products and solutions that have proven themselves.

Thanks to the insulation and encapsulation system, we were able to transform this damaged space into a dry space whose humidity rate meets the respiratory health standard. The crawl space is now more economical, less dirty and usable for storage purposes.

Products included in this installation are: CleanSpace drainage mat, TerraBlock floor insulation, CleanSpace waterproofing membrane, SilverGlo wall insulation, sump pump, CleanSpace ventilation hatch cover, vacuum access door sanitary EverLast and dehumidifier SaniDry Sedona.

This house in Beauharnois had some problems in its crawl space.

The place was very filthy and wet, in addition mold was growing very fast, which was affecting the air in the house as well.

Our team encapsulated this crawl space by installing our waterproofing products such as the SmartSump system and isolated the house from the earth by installing  an antibacterial vapor barrier membrane that prevents all water vapors and bacteria from infiltrating and infecting the air.

 Finally we added our SaniDry system in order to dehumidify the air.

This product is specially designed for crawl spaces.

When water seeps into the crawl space and gets stuck, the water evaporates into the air and humidifies the basement.

This is the case of our client’s crawl space in Notre-Dame-de-l'Île-Perrot, that had a 79% level of humidity in the place, in addition to a wet and dirty area all the time.

Our team recommended a waterproofing solution and that would solve the problem of infiltration of water and moisture.

We installed the WaterGuard Interior Drain on the perimeter where there was a footing at the foundation and covered the concrete walls with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane that blocks moisture.
