Humidity and Reinforcement Issues Identified in the Crawl Space of Saint-Zotique, QC

Challenge

Mr. Bouchard is facing various issues in his crawl space, including excessive humidity and poor insulation. The client is looking for a solution to address the humidity problem, achieve energy savings, and reinforce the flooring for the long term.

Resolution

After a free inspection, our specialists recommend installing a SuperJack support system to stabilize and level the floor joists and main beams. Next, we propose a crawl space encapsulation system by installing the Delta MS drainage membrane, followed by the Pro-20 Vapor Barrier membrane. This is a 20mm polyethylene membrane covered with a thick plastic coating, allowing for proper drainage of infiltrated water and insulating the crawl space from the house. With this complete solution, Mr. Bouchard will benefit from a dry and well-insulated crawl space, resolving humidity issues and enabling energy savings. We also plan to install a SumpPlus sump pump system. Additionally, we will install an airtight cover to prevent moisture and water evaporation. The sump pump system will then discharge water outside the house through a successfully implemented independent SafeGard discharge line. Furthermore, the SuperJack support system will ensure the long-term stability of the joists and main beams. We are committed to providing quality service and ensuring customer satisfaction.
