Before & After Photos

Problem

Ms. Forster recently purchased a property with a few crawl space issues:

• Damp, moldy smell in the house

• High level of humidity in the house

• Cold main floor during winter

Solution

• Encapsulation of the crawl space with our drainage membrane and CleanSpace coating

• Wall insulation with our SilverGlo panels

This is another crawl space that was suffering from water infiltration.

When water had invaded the place, it had affected badly on the floors in too many areas, causing it to sag. 

We have solved this crawl space problems by installing a drainage membrane on the floor to help water find its way to the drainage system. Then, we covered the floor with a CleanSpace membrane, which mainly serves to prevent water vapor from leaving the floor and rising to the upper floors. Next, we installed SmartJack systems, which are galvanized steel beams used to support the sagging floor. Finally,we had installed SmartDrain drainage systems, which are used to get rid of infiltrating water.

Now that our work is done, the place is completely encapsulated!

Mrs. Monique B. from Gatineau called us to tell us about her problems related to mold and moisture in her crawl space. Our crew then proceeded to install a CleanSpace membrane, a SmartSump pump system, and two SmartJack support pillars. They also applied Mold-X Neutralizer to areas affected by mold. Our customer can now enjoy her basement without having to worry about water getting in!

When our specialists inspected this home in Gatineau, they found that the crawl space had high humidity levels, creating conditions conducive to condensation, unpleasant odors, mold growth, and material deterioration. Moisture rising from the ground could also affect indoor air quality throughout the house, since air from the crawl space naturally circulates upward to the upper floors. In addition, certain sections of the structure required additional support to ensure the stability of the floors. To address these issues, our team fully encapsulated the crawl space by installing a drainage matting to effectively channel water, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to block moisture from the ground and create a clean, dry environment, and SmartJack® supports to reinforce the joists and stabilize the floors. This work now allows for better moisture control, protects the structure from the long-term effects of water, improves indoor air quality, and provides the homeowner with a healthier, more durable, and much easier-to-maintain crawl space.

In L'Ange-Gardien, a homeowner was dealing with persistent moisture infiltration in their crawl space—a condition prone to compromising both structural integrity and indoor air quality. Recognizing the urgent need for remediation, our team employed the advanced CleanSpace encapsulation system, a comprehensive solution engineered to create a durable, moisture-impermeable barrier. This system features a 20-mil, antimicrobial-treated vapor barrier liner, meticulously sealed along all walls, piers, and penetrations, effectively mitigating vapor transmission from the soil. The "after" photo reveals a transformed environment, showcasing the high-performance encapsulation and a measurable improvement in air quality.
