Crawl Space Encapsulation and Stabilization in Mont-Royal, QC

Challenge

Our client, Mr. Brebeuf residing in Mont-Royal, is facing humidity issues, a problem that can be insidious and hard to detect, potentially affecting the structure of the house and leading to mold formation in various areas. Unpleasant odors, discomfort in the house, and very cold floors prompted the homeowners to seek a permanent solution. However, in this specific case, after only one year of residence in this place, the homeowners noticed several signs of humidity inside the house. Additionally, they are experiencing difficulties with a bedroom door that does not close completely. Therefore, it is imperative to find a solution to stabilize the crawl space beams.

Resolution

Aware of the importance of crawl space encapsulation, the homeowner decided to turn to a specialist at Sous-Sol Confort to address these problems.

After meeting with the specialist, the homeowner decided to proceed with the necessary work. A few days later, our team arrived at the Plateau-Mont-Royal residence to carry out the required installations. After a thorough inspection, our specialist proposed replacing the wooden beam with a metal beam and adding support posts. We recommended the installation of 6 SuperJack posts to stabilize the joists in the long term and reinforce the crawl space floor using galvanized and adjustable posts, as well as applying Delta MS and Pare Vapeur PRO 20 mil membranes. Additionally, an Aprilaire dehumidifier was installed.

Now, the resident Mr. Brebeuf of this house no longer faces issues related to unpleasant odors and cold floors. If you are experiencing similar problems, do not hesitate to contact us for a free inspection of your crawl space.
