PROBLEM
The client was unaware of the state of her crawl space in the first years after moving in. Once she saw the space, filled with iron ochre, she got worried. She decided to contact us.
SOLUTION
It was essential to install a pump since the iron ochre had blocked the existing drains, creating water infiltration. We also opted for the CleanSpace product, so Mrs. Nathalie could enjoy a clean crawl space. She now feels reassured that the crawl space will be efficient in her home in Saint-Calixte, QC.
Earth crawl spaces that are ventilated form moist environments conducive to the growth of mold and bacteria. This affects airflow throughout your home and moves the spores in the void to the upper floors of your home.
This is why we have encapsulated and dehumidified the crawl space of this customer who is made of clay and ventilated by two windows on opposite walls. Our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SuperSump sump pump and Sanidry CX dehumidifier and purifier.
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.
Before repairing this Saint-Roch-de-Richelieu home's crawl space, its dampness was more than just a menace; it was a problem waiting to warp its way into the very structure it stood on. Notice in the before photo how unwelcoming it appears. Now, after introducing CleanSpace into the equation, the transformation is unmistakable—as you can see in the after photo. This cutting-edge barrier now shields the area from moisture, ensuring a drier, healthier environment below. Our approach not only tackled the immediate concern but also safeguarded the home's future, aligning perfectly with our mission to deliver an exceptional customer experience and enduring solutions.
When the homeowner in Saint-Ours detected a musty and bad odor in their crawl space, it became evident that immediate action was required. Utilizing our CleanSpace encapsulation system and our SmartJacks, we effectively converted this previously damp and deteriorating area into a dry, fortified space. As demonstrated in the post-installation photo, the results are striking. By implementing a complete moisture barrier, we not only resolved the odor issue but also significantly prolonged the structural integrity of their home through a durable, long-term solution.
