Before & After Photos

The homeowner in Shefford, QC, faced a damp, uninsulated crawl space fraught with potential for more serious issues. As visible in the before photo, the stark condition called for a tailored solution. Our team introduced CleanSpace, a coveted vapor barrier that dramatically transforms interiors into dry, usable spaces. Paired with SmartJack for unyielding support, the difference is night and day. Notice in the after photo the seamless integration and revitalized space. Through expertise and precision, we effectively sealed off moisture, bolstering the home's integrity and comfort for years to come. The impact of our intervention not only revitalizes the space but also the homeowner's peace of mind, encapsulating our mission for unparalleled service and reliability.

PROBLEM

Our customer noticed a significant difference in his electricity bills; there appeared to be a major loss of heating. He contacted us and learned that this loss was from the uninsulated crawl space.

SOLUTION

The customer chose the SmartDrain combination, which protects the crawl space in case there was any flood, and is specially designed for crawl spaces.

 In addition the CleanSpace encapsulation was also installed to protect the area from moisture. The CleanSpace membrane is composed of several layers of plastic with different characteristics in terms of flexibility and resistance to punctures and tears.

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.

Facing a damp and cold crawl space in Brossard, Quebec, the homeowner contacted us for advice. During the inspection, our specialist Roxane explained that bad crawl space will affect the quality of the air going inside the house, and thus causing potential health issues and allergies. In addition, persistent humidity will result in mold growth and potentially wood rot, thus causing potential structural damage. As a remedy, we installed our CleanSpace system, including the drainage matting and the vapor barrier. This system will regulate humidity levels while infiltrated water will be channeled to the drain or the sump pump. The walls were also covered by our SilverGlo thermal insulation that will help keep the temperature warm and regulated. Our client was happy with the transformation done within the crawl space, knowing that he is now in a safe environment. 

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.
