Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Presence of ferrous ocher, in Saint-Calixte, Qc
CleanSpace encapsulation for crawl spaces
The CleanSpace coating was developed to isolate the crawl space space. This membrane prevents moisture from affecting the air in the house.
Iron ocher
Ferrous ocher tends to affect French drains, which are still found in a large number of residential areas. The problem with the presence in this type of drain is that over time, the ocher will block the drain, making water evacuation impossible.
State of crawl space - directly on uncovered land
Despite the fact that crawl spaces are left with the floor uncovered, that doesn't mean it's recommended to leave them as is. Soil without any barrier membrane allows water, insects and rodents to pass through.
Drainage mat
This product is placed under the CleanSpace membrane. It is often used in combination with the crawl space pump, to collect and direct water from the space to the pump.
