Before & After Photos

Problem

Ms. Wilberg had a wet crawl space with water seepage. Moisture comes from the earthen floor, but also from the concrete foundation walls.

Solution

We installed a drainage membrane and a CleanSpace vapor barrier. The drainage membrane creates a drainage space below the Cleanspace to direct surface water to the customer's sump pump system. CleanSpace is a 20mm thick coating that acts as a vapor barrier. It insulates the floor of the house by blocking out moisture.

This client initially contacted us in 2015, because he was starting to consider doing something with his crawl space. After receiving several tips, he postponed the project until he decided what he wanted to do exactly. In May 2018, he contacted us again to tell us that he wanted to sign with us. He wanted us to completely encapsulate the house of the earth and solve the problem of water infiltration that appeared. So we installed a crawl space drain so that the water was collected and redirected to the SuperSump sump pump system. Finally, the CleanSpace membrane isolates the house from the earth so that the water vapor does not humidify the space.

Mrs. Lucier from Plateaux –Mont Royal in Montreal noticed that there was a moisture problem causing bad smells in the house.

After much research on the internet, she found Basement systems Quebec and following her call we sent a team of Professionals to perform a complete encapsulation of the crawlspace.

The team installed a CleanSpace membrane which is designed to create an ultra-resistant barrier against moisture, preventing mold growth. This product is guaranteed for 25 years against tear and wear and the liner is a heavy 20-mil-thick material.

After the installation, the Crawl Space looked so bright and clean and our client was able to use her Crawl Space area.

One of our clients in Montreal called to have her crawl space encapsulated.

The insulation helped solve many issues the client had and had improved the home comfort, healthfulness, energy efficiency and value of the house by insulating the upper floors from the cold, making the Crawl Space clean and letting her use the crawlspace as an additional storage room.

This picture shows the end result of our work, where you can see the big difference between an encapsulated and insulated Crawl Space, and many earth crawl spaces you can find in Quebec.

Mr. Haddad recently noticed high humidity in his house and this made the room environment uncomfortable. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to resolve the problem and make his home comfortable.

The problem

An uninsulated crawl space. There was a lot of humidity there and it came from the ground and from outside.

The solution

Insulate well the crawl space of Mr. Haddad. For this, our experts insulated the walls with our SilverGlo panels. 2 '' thick insulation with radiant barrier to isolate the cold and reflect heat inside the crawl space. And then they covered the floor with our CleanSpace coating. With a thickness of 20mm, the coating is specially designed for crawl spaces. Robust, composed of polyethylene and antimicrobial, it insulates the floor of the house and blocks humidity.

By having the walls and the floor well insulated, Mr. Haddad will no longer have a problem with humidity in his house. He now has a clean and above all dry crawl space!
