Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Encapsulating a crawl space in Beauharnois, QC
The new buyer of this house in Beauharnois received our quote from the previous owner and called us directly in order to encapsulate his crawl space.
We started the encapsulation by installing a sump pump system known as the SmartSump and then 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 and finalized our job by installing the SaniDry Sedona system which is the best dehumidifier in its class, rated EnergyStar.

Mold growth
When moisture develops, it paves the way for mold and rot to develop in the insulation or wooden beams in your crawl space.
