Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Encapsulated crawl space in Sherbrooke, Qc
This family in Sherbrook was having problems with their humid and dirty crawl space.The consultant told them that this might affect badly on their health because this air will be infected by mold spores and bacteria, and eventually the air will circulate upwards to their house.
After contacting our company, we sent our specialists who suggested a full encapsulation of the crawl space that consists of a: CleanSpace vapor barrier, a SmartSump sump pump that evacuates all the water intercepted outside, an IceGuard on the discharge line to make sure the pipe evacuates the water even if it freezes, a LawnScape discharge line, and finally a SaniDry dehumidifier.
All of these combined can save large amounts of money over time as well as help to warm up the floors above it.
A Damp crawl space in Sherbrooke
A damp crawl space is more than just a slight annoyance; in fact, it can be a major safety hazard since that dampness lead to structural damage and mold growth.
Damp crawl spaces are common household issues
They usually arise from a failure on the home owner’s part to protect their crawl space from moisture.
Old and inefficient sump pump
This sump pump needs to be replaced by a modern one.
Our sump pumps are extremely reliable and the ones we install are rated to work without problems for many, many years.
CleanSpace moisture barrier system
A vapor barrier resists the passage of air. By stopping air movement from the ground, it can also turn your crawl space into a semi-conditioned space.
Drainage matting system installed
Beneath the CleanSpace vapor barrier we installed drainage matting which is designed to keep water from puddling up.and force the flow of water towards the Smart drain.
SmartSump pump installed
A Smartsump pump system was installed to intercept the waters and evacuate them outside the home.

IceGuard connected
