Humid Crawl Space Encapsulation in Quebec City

The resident of this house in Quebec City suffered from a very high level of humidity, caused by a non-isolated Crawl Space.

Mrs. Malerie noticed also that the floor was sagging which caused her a deep concern.

As you can see in this picture, we have totally encapsulated the Crawl Space and the foundation.

Our client Mrs. Annie had a problem with insulating the crawl space of her and contacted us in order to help her find the best solution with the minimum cost.

Our specialist went to our client’s house to provide the best solution with a free estimate. To insulate the crawl space, we used our patented CleanSpace technology and a Drainage mat to cover the dirt. SilverGlo to insulate the foundation walls and a SmartSump drainage system with an IceGuard drain to evacuate water that can accumulate in the crawl space.

Our client now enjoys an isolated crawl space that does not cause problems.

When a crawl space is not isolated, accumulated water will humidify all the place and help bacteria to spread all over the place, reaching the house as well!

So when our team went to check up this place in Saint-Lambert-De-Lauzon, they recommended an encapsulation system from a CleanSpace liner, a CleanSpace Drainage Matting to our SaniDry Cx dehumidifier.

The CleanSpace membrane is a vapor barrier that blocks water infiltrations and vapors. The membrane is ultra-resistant and contains a non-toxic antibacterial that blocks the proliferation of bacteria.

PROBLEM

Lots of water infiltration within a crawlspace, which promoted mold growth. Additionally, the floor in his house was sloping, indicating sagging issues. Entering into the crawlspace, our specialist noticed the unpleasant odor caused by excess moisture and mold. He explained that this critical condition in the crawlspace had weakened the rim joist, which consequently caused the floor to sag. The solution lies in stabilizing the floor and encapsulating the crawlspace, which will eliminate harmful moisture. Action must be taken as soon as possible to prevent further structural damage that could even affect the foundation of the house.

SOLUTION

Encapsulation of the crawlspace using the CleanSpace system. This involves covering the floor with two complementary membranes:

- The drainage membrane, equipped with a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the drainage or sump pump.

- The vapor barrier that prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive moisture. It also includes an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold from growing.

Regarding floor stabilization, implementing the SmartJack system. In this case, it involved installing five galvanized steel columns. These columns are adjustable depending on the dimension of the crawl space in question. Moreover, galvanized steel is corrosion-resistant, ensuring the durability of this system. Furthermore, the installation of the columns is quick, with minimal disruption to the house.
