When a customer calls us for expert advice on mold issues in the crawl space, we are always happy to help, especially when it comes to ancestral homes. Our solutions help solve problems with water and water vapor and help preserve the value of the home by protecting it. The CleanSpace membrane is a crawl space vapor barrier that prevents water vapor from the floor from humidifying the crawl space and damaging the organic building material. It allows water to be redirected to a floor drain that draws water away from the home. The CleanSpace membrane also contains an antibacterial that prevents the proliferation of molds. This encapsulation solution solves the problem of humidity in the crawl space once and for all!
These are before and after pictures of a crawl space in Austin Qc, that had a bad moisture problem which made the floor rotten and getting destroyed.
Our client wanted to replace the floor at first, but once he contacted our company we went for our free inspection and informed him that his problem can be fixed easily.
So we suggested the installation of our CleanSpace vapor barrier, that will slows or prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air.
Made of a 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with polyester-cord reinforcement, the liner is treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth on or under the CleanSpace liner.
A homeowner in the Orford, QC was dealing with excess humidity in their crawl space. Our system design specialist conducted a thorough evaluation, pinpointing the root causes of the humidity. He recommended : SmartJack for stabilizing the space, SilverGlo to insulate and create an energy-efficient thermal barrier, and CleanSpace, a moisture barrier, to secure against excess humidity. Not only did we eliminate the excessive humidity, but we also restored the homeowner's peace of mind, assuring them of a durable solution that wards off future moisture issues.
Ms. Tremblay contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, because a strong odor of humidity emanated from her basement. There was several water seepage, mold and its sump pump system was not sufficient to remove all the water. All of these factors caused this unpleasant smell of dampness.
Our client wanted a complete and permanent solution to her problem. And for that, our experts installed a WaterGuard interior drain which is connected to a second SmartPump sump pump system. In this way, the water ends up in the WaterGuard and the latter will direct it to the Smart Pump. Then they laid a drainage mat on the gravel floor. Its function is to direct the surface water towards the sump pump. They added the TerraBlock insulation sheets to the drainage mat in order to insulate the floor of the house and allow for some comfort when moving. Finally, they applied our CleanSpace coating on top of the TerraBlock. The three combined (Drainage Mat, TerraBlock and CleanSpace) form a perfect trio for insulating and waterproofing the basement.
Humidity in crawl space was causing concern to our client in St-Francois-Xavier-De-Brompton, Quebec. The clear signs of moisture buildup was creating an uninviting environment and may in the future cause further structural damage. We stepped in, bringing our expertise with the CleanSpace encapsulation system. This includes CleanSpace Drainage Matting adding a layer of protection as it channels water to the drainage system. In addition, the CleanSpace liner serve a barrier to stop excess humidity from ruining the house's air quality. And to optimize the crawl space's humidity levels, we installed our SaniDry Sedona, which is an excellent dehumidifier. After our intervention, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, inviting area.
