Encapsulating a crawl space in MONT-TREMBLANT, Qc

Challenge

Mr. Batah contacted Basement Systems Qc because he felt a lot of humidity in his house and this has affected the comfort of his home.

The cause? Our client's crawl space had water infiltration and water accumulated on the earthen floor especially in spring or on rainy days. This pedestal sump pump was no longer working and therefore could not remove water from the ground. Earthen soil and water cause a lot of moisture in the crawl space and therefore affects the rest of the house.

Solution

To solve our client's problem, our experts removed his pump in order to install our SmartSump sump pump system. They covered the earthen floor with a drainage membrane that will be able to direct water to the SmartSump and which adds some insulation value. Then they added a CleanSpace vapor barrier coating on top of the drainage membrane to insulate the earthen floor of the house and block moisture from the floor. Finally, they installed our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity level.
