Before & After Photos

In Saint-Eugène-de-Grantham, Quebec, a homeowner faced a common yet troublesome problem – a damp crawl space noticeable in the before photo. Moisture not only posed a risk to the home's structure but also to the health of its residents. Our team sprang into action, armed with CleanSpace to effectively encapsulate the area, keeping moisture out. As you can see in the after photo, paired with the SaniDry Sedona, we've transformed the space into a dry, healthier environment. Together, these solutions ensure a durable fix, perfectly aligning with our mission to provide a remarkable customer experience and long-lasting solutions. The transformation is not just visual; it's a testament to reliability and peace of mind for years to come.

A vented dirt crawl space is not a good thing. Damp exposed soils contribute to a lot of water vapor into the air and humid air fosters the proliferation of bacteria such as mold and allergens. Moreover, groundwater seeps and leaks rush from under the footing, between the footing and walls, right through block walls and through cracks in poured walls. Once inside, the water stays there slowly evaporating into the air. It is very difficult to completely dry damp earth but when it does dry a little, water vapors move upward into the house towards your bedrooms and living rooms.

To fix this problem, we completely encapsulated this crawlspace using our heavy duty CleanSpace drainage matting and CleanSpace liner and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifying system. The Sedona eliminates damp, musty odors in your crawlspace by drying and filtering the air. It's a high performance and high-efficiency systems. You will save on electricity while keeping your space dry and healthy for many years to come. 

A homeowner in Sainte-Helene-De-Bagot, Quebec, was concerned with significant humidity within their crawl space, prompting the need for a thorough inspection followed by a permanent solution. Upon assessment, our specialist identified key indicators of excessive moisture, most notably efflorescence, a clear sign of prolonged exposure to high humidity levels. To mitigate this issue and safeguard the home, we proceeded with the installation of the CleanSpace encapsulation system. This system integrates a durable drainage membrane with a high-efficiency vapor barrier. Together, these components effectively manage moisture levels by preventing water infiltration and reducing ground moisture evaporation. As a result, the crawl space is now thoroughly sealed and protected, ensuring long-term moisture control and preserving the structural integrity of the property.

Mr. Vi Thanh contacted Basement Systems Quebec because he had a number of problems in his crawl space.

Mrs. Belhumeur, located in Upton, Quebec, was concerned because her dirt crawl space wasn’t waterproofed, and it was causing humidity issues in her home. She decided to do some internet research to find a solution to her problem. She came across our website and decided to fill out our request form. We promptly responded to her request and booked an appointment for a specialist to go look at her crawl space. Our specialist Eric headed over to visit Mrs. Belhumeur in Upton to complete the inspection. He concluded that the best plan would be to fully encapsulate the crawl space to prevent the moisture from the dirt from infiltrating her home.

Our foreman Cedrick and his team went to Upton to complete the installation. They first laid out the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Drainage Matting System across the entirety of the crawl space floor. This drainage matting system is designed to collect water from the crawl space floor and direct it to a sump pump and perimeter drainage pipe. They then installed a layer of the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier on top of the drainage matting. This product was created as a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material that will permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting into your crawl space. Our client can now enjoy her home without the worries of the consequences that come from an unencapsulated dirt crawl space. Another job well done by our team at Basement Systems Quebec.
