Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl place encapsulation in Farnham, Qc
Mrs. St-Amand contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc, because she had several problems related to her earthen crawl space:
- The floor was sagging in a few places. She felt that her floor was soft.
- A damp smell
- Mold on the floor.
- Lots of humidity
- Wooden beams and pillars in the crawl space were rotting due to humidity.
These symptoms are the result of the real problem, an uninsulated earthen crawl space with water infiltration.
Mrs. St-Amand intends to live years in her new home, so she contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc for a free inspection of her crawl space.
