Before & After Photos

A client in Joliette, was concerned about his crawl space. It was very cold and had a very uncomfortable smell. As a optimistic try to solve the problem themselves, they had covered the floor with a rudimentary membrane. However, same did not reflect any positive impact. Our specialist was also able to identify signs of rotten joists, indicating excess moisture within the crawl space. As a solution, we installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system, including a drainage matting and a vapor barrier placed above. these two membranes regulates humidity levels, and prevent any infiltrated water to evaporate. Result? The crawl space is now dry and safe and the house is saved from any potential structural damage. 

In Sainte-Emelie-De-L'energie, Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec carried out a comprehensive project to improve the crawl space’s protection against moisture, water infiltration, and heat loss. Our team installed a drainage membrane, followed by the CleanSpace® vapor barrier to limit the migration of moisture from the ground. To ensure better water management, we added a SmartSump® sump pump, connected to an outdoor discharge line and an IceGuard® system to facilitate drainage when the outlet is at risk of becoming blocked by ice. A SaniDry Sedona® dehumidifier completes the system by helping to maintain a more controlled humidity level. Finally, SmartJack® support pillars help stabilize the floor structure, while SilverGlo® insulation panels help reduce heat loss. This combination of solutions improves moisture management, drainage, and crawl space insulation, while helping to protect the home’s structure from problems associated with a damp environment.

In Saint-Bruno, QC, this homeowner was battling a bone-chilling crawl space problem, as you can see in the 'before' photo. Our team at Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec swiftly tackled the cold, dreary underbelly of this home by installing SilverGlo insulation. The transformation is night and day—notice in the 'after' photo how SilverGlo acts as a thermal barrier, making the space cozier and the home above more comfortable. Our exceptional solutions delivered a warm and lasting resolve, perfectly sealing the chill out.

Before our intervention in Saint-Thomas, our client's crawl space showed obvious signs of excessive moisture, insufficient insulation, and unpleasant odors. The environment under the house was conducive to mold growth and foundation deterioration, compromising not only indoor comfort but also the structural integrity of the building.   

After completely encapsulating the crawl space with our specialized CleanSpace membrane, the space is now dry, clean, and perfectly insulated. The CleanSpace lining acts as a moisture barrier, preventing water vapor infiltration and significantly reducing the risk of mold and material degradation. This transformation has improved indoor air quality, enhanced energy efficiency, and provided better protection for the foundation, giving the homeowners lasting peace of mind.
