Our customer in Saint-Colomban noticed that he had signs of moisture problems in his crawl space. We offered to come for a free inspection. During this inspection, our specialist Alexandrine discovered several signs of moisture problems, such as rotten wood pillars, degraded foam insulation, efflorescence, and rusted pipes. Relative humidity in the crawl space was measured at over 80%, well above the recommended 55%. She decided that the best way to solve these problems was to completely insulate and encapsulate the crawl space.
To begin, our team removed the old insulation to install the SilverGlo™ waterproof insulation. Next, they installed CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier, a durable 20-millimeter-thick sheathing system that resists tearing and offers better protection against moisture intrusion than thinner, more widely available solutions. Finally, they installed a powerful SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which removes 2.9 liters of water per kilowatt-hour (L/kWh). After our team's hard work, our customer no longer has to worry about moisture in his crawl space and the consequences it brings. Thank you for trusting us with your project, Mr. Craig!
There is only once cause of all the problems in crawl spaces, which is relative humidity.
When humidity is high it causes mold to grow, and this affects airflow throughout your home and moves the spores in the void to the upper floors of your home.
This is why we needed to encapsulate the crawl space of this customer in Mont-Tremblant.
Our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier that stops all the water vapor from the walls or soil, and a SmartSump pump that is designed just for crawl spaces.
We have converted this space in Saint-Eustache from an earthen place with moist air into a waterless, healthy and bright space that can be used for useful purposes.
By installing a complete waterproofing system, you can no longer witness any humidity and mold growing in that area nor into your house.
Our WaterGuard interior drain will direct the water to our company’s SuperSump pump system.
The SuperSump allows evacuating the water that infiltrates. It is clean, clear and nothing can fall into it.
And finally we insulated the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane.
The CleanSpace blocks water vapor from the walls and redirects water to the WaterGuard indoor drain installed directly below. Once installed, we cover the concrete drain and it will not appear anymore.
We had the chance to do a basement waterproofing on a ''pony wall '' foundation. Water seeped through the cracks in the concrete blocks. In order to block the cracks, we installed a WaterGuard interior drain at the bottom of the footing so that the water would drain to the drain and then drain away from the house. Our team has also encapsulated this sole to block the water vapor so that it is redirected to the drain and to prevent dampening of the space.
We have encapsulated this crawl space in Saint-Saveur through isolating the house from the ground with the CleanSpace vapor barrier and installing the SmartDrain that allows the crawl space to be protected in case of a plumbing leak by intercepting the water and alarming you with the problem.
