Nestled in Saint-Cyprien-de-Napierville, Quebec, this home suffered from a classic yet troublesome issue: a damp crawl space that could lead to bigger problems if left unchecked. As depicted in the 'before' photo, moisture was beginning to take its toll, threatening the structure's integrity and indoor air quality. Enter our solution - the CleanSpace encapsulation system coupled with the SaniDry Sedona. The 'after' photo showcases the transformation superb workmanship and our innovative products can achieve. The once musty and damp area is now a dry, clean space, adding value and a healthier living environment to the home. Our commitment to providing unmatched customer satisfaction and durable resolutions brought peace of mind to yet another homeowner while setting a high standard for home services in our community.
A wet crawl space is unhealthy since it leads to a range of health and safety problems in your home. These can include mold growth, pest invasions and even rotted floor joists.
The best way to avoid the headaches caused by these problems is to encapsulate the area as we did here in Sainte-Anne-des-Lacs.
First we installed the CleanSpace membrane which is an ultra-resistant coating specially made for crawl spaces. Then we installed a SuperSump pump with very high pumping volumes, for freezing line protection we installed our IceGuard accessory, and finally to dry and purify the air, we installed our SaniDry XP air dehumidification system.
The management of Saint-Jerome day care center knew that the health and the quality of the air in their place need to be perfect. Since the place is mainly filled with babies and kids, it will be very bad if mold and bacteria spread in that place.
We have sent our specialist Jorge to check the entire place and examine the crawl space and after locating the problem he recommended many solutions for all the problems.
As a start, the debris has been removed by the Mold-X2. Mold-X2 is a very strong mold decontamination product that we apply to all wood and masonry.
Then we installed the SmartSump sump pump system which is our smallest system specifically designed to be installed in crawl spaces.
Next step was installing the CleanSpace membrane, which is a vapor barrier that blocks water infiltrations and vapors to redirect them to the interior drainage system.
And finally and in order to dehumidify the place, the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was inserted. This product is the most efficient direct flow system and is also very energy efficient (EnergyStar).
If you have a vented crawl space, especially in a humid climate, it most likely has moisture problems.
Moisture might come from several sources, such as uncovered soil, foundation walls, foundation vents and more.
Encapsulating your crawl space with quality products engineered for this space is the best way to keep it dry and clean.

This Côte-Saint-Luc customer needed an assessment from our company for a mold-to-crawl problem. When you see traces of mold in the crawl space, this is a sign that you need to dehumidify the space efficiently and permanently. As the crawl space is a space built in a hole in the ground, the water pressurizes and infiltrates through the ground and pores of the concrete.
Our waterproofing solutions solve these problems at the source. The CleanSpace drainage mat and vapor barrier membrane are installed on the floor to prevent water vapor from escaping into the air. We install on the walls the SilverGlo insulation which is an insulation board composed of graphite particles and which is covered with a radiant barrier to preserve the heat inside. It is a product that saves you a lot of energy consumption. Finally, the SaniDry dehumidifier keeps the space at an optimal relative humidity level. It is a system that empties automatically through a water drain pipe.
