Crawl Space Encapsulation Solution in Montreal, QC
Challenge
Our client, Mr. Sénécal, was facing humidity problems, a nuisance that is often insidious and difficult to detect. Excessive humidity can affect the structure of the house and promote mold formation. Additionally, bad odors, general discomfort, and very cold floors prompted the owners to seek a lasting solution. Having lived in this house for only one year, they had already noticed several obvious signs of humidity inside their home.
Resolution
Aware of the importance of effectively protecting the crawl space, Mr. Sénécal called in a specialist from Sous-Sol Confort. After a thorough assessment and personalized recommendations, the owners decided to undertake the necessary work.
A few days later, our team went on site to perform the required installations. Following a detailed inspection, we implemented the following solutions:
- Crawl space encapsulation
- Application of Delta MS and PRO 20 mm Vapor Barrier membranes to create an effective barrier against moisture. These robust membranes isolate the crawl space, preventing moisture from penetrating and thus protecting the structure of the house.
- SumPlus sump pump installation
- To evacuate water collected by the drain, we installed a SumPlus sump pump, equipped with a backup power supply. This system ensures continuous operation, even during power outages.
- An integrated alarm also alerts residents when the backup pump is activated, thus ensuring optimal peace of mind.
- AloAir HD55 dehumidifier installation
- To effectively reduce humidity in the crawl space, we installed an AloAir HD55 dehumidifier, thus helping to maintain optimal humidity levels for a healthy environment.
Result
Thanks to these interventions, the residents no longer face issues related to bad odors or cold floors. Their house now benefits from lasting protection against humidity, providing a healthy, comfortable, and energy-efficient indoor environment.
