Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Encapsulation of a wet crawl space in Oka, Qc.

This client had floods in his crawl space, which caused a lot of moisture and mold growth. So we sent our specialist to perform a full inspection and recommend the best solution. First, we recommended that we thoroughly decontaminate the entire crawl space to eliminate mold and fungi. Once completed, our team encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane which is a membrane that insulates the house from the earth. Made from a 20-mil thick polyethylene, this rugged product is specifically designed to block water vapor and allows moisture levels to be significantly lowered to reduce and eliminate mold growth, decay wood, and organic materials and the presence of insects. 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.
