PROBLEM

There was an unfinished part within the basement, resembling a crawlspace, was excessive humidity with uncomfortable odors. We identified several mold spots, as well as efflorescence. 

SOLUTION

1) Encapsulation of the problematic area to eliminate harmful moisture and the installation of a sump pump.

CleanSpace system: It involves covering the floor and walls with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier above. The drainage membrane has a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the sump pump. The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive humidity. This barrier also includes an antimicrobial additive, preventing mold growth.

Installing SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, a pump liner, a cover, a sealed sump basin, and a WaterWatch alarm to prevent any potential disasters.

We have transformed this crawl space in Godmanchester, Qc so that it is no longer wet - We encapsulated it all with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane and waterproofed everything by installing a SmartSump sump pump system.

 At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we install only the best sump pump systems available anywhere in the province of Quebec. We have an answer to clogging sump pumps, power failures, torrential rainfall, and much more!

We are happy to have been able to solve these problems in the crawl space. For a free estimate, do not hesitate to contact us!

PROBLEM

Mr. Bruno's crawl space was uncovered and created humidity in the rest of the house. The client did not want this to affect his family's health in the long term.

 SOLUTION

 Systèmes Sous-sol Québec’s team suggested a solution that guaranteed a dry space all year round. A solution including 3 products; TerraBlock insulation, SmartDrain and CleanSpace encapsulation product.

Our TerraBlock insulation provides a puncture-resistant vapor barrier on all surfaces it covers - one that will not be damaged by water or support the growth of mold, rot, and mildew.

As for the SmartDrain, it is a floor drain installed at the lowest point of the crawl space to intercept water infiltration caused by plumbing leaks.

And finally the CleanSpace will prevent the growth of mold. In addition it is odorless and very safe to use.

PROBLEM

A house in Papineauville had a damp crawl space. There were water infiltrations coming from the walls, which caused mold growth. During our free inspection, our specialist Houssem took care of the visit. Descending into the crawl space, he was able to identify mold, causing an unpleasant odor. Serious structural damage that could even affect the foundation of the house could occur in case no action was taken.

SOLUTION

Encapsulation of the crawl space using the CleanSpace system. This involves covering the crawl space floor with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier on top:

The drainage membrane has a cellular surface that helps transport infiltrated water towards the drainage or sump pump.

- The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thereby eliminating excessive humidity. It also includes an antimicrobial additive that prevents mold growth.

- To ensure good thermal insulation of the crawl space walls, we installed SilverGlo wall insulation panels. In addition to resisting thermal conduction, SilverGlo panels have a radiant barrier that reflects heat inside the crawl space for energy savings.

It’s always necessary to encapsulate your crawl space. And when our client from Montpellier called us, she told us that she was experiencing high humidity levels, especially during winter times when the floors became colder than normal.

After our free inspection of the place, we knew that the problem was simply the presence of water vapor and high humidity caused by a lack of insulation and floor covering in the crawl space. And so we have recommended a full encapsulation system that will not change the crawl space only but the entire health of the house.

At the start, our production team installed SilverGlo insulation panels on the walls. These panels will reflect the heat into the crawl space. And so the house walls and floors will be less warm.

And then we have covered the soil with a vapor barrier called CleanSpace. This membrane is a 20mil plastic coating composed of several layers of plastic with different characteristics of flexibility and strength. It also has an antibacterial additive that blocks the growth of mold and fungi on the coating.
