Encapsulation of a crawl space in SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Qc

Challenge

Mr. Turcotte had a wet crawl space that was poorly insulated and some of the wooden beams were starting to rot. The humidity in the crawl space comes from the lack of insulation on the walls and the floor and then from water infiltration.

So he started seeking for the right company to solve his problems until one of our pervious customers recommended us for the job!

After his call, our specialist gave him a free estimate and we started working on the home!

Solution

The solution

- Insulate the walls and the floor and add a sump pump system.

Insulate crawl space walls with our SilverGlo panels. The earthen floor was insulated with our drainage membrane and then our Moisture-wicking CleanSpace coating. Next, to reduce humidity, we installed a SuperSump sump pump system. It contains a 1 / 3HP cast iron Zoeller pump and we have added a battery pump that works in the event of a power failure and that keeps the sump running. Finally, our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control the humidity level and filter the air.

Project Summary

City: SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU

Problem: Wet crawl Space

Solution: SilverGlo, CleanSpace, SuperSump pump

This crawl space was very humid due to poor insulation on the walls and the floor. There was also small water infiltration in the crawl space.

The customer's sump pump was not optimal and he could not rely on it.

The CleanSpace coating was installed over the drainage membrane on the floor. SilverGlo panels are made to insulate walls. They block moisture and reflect heat.
