Insulation and Reinforcement Issues in the Crawl Space in Montréal-Nord, QC
Challenge
Mr. Paquette was facing multiple issues in his crawl space: high humidity levels and inadequate insulation. He wanted to find a long-term solution to reduce humidity, improve his home's energy efficiency, and reinforce the floor structure to ensure its long-term stability.
Resolution
After a free inspection conducted by our specialists, we proposed a comprehensive solution to resolve these issues:
- Structural stabilization and reinforcement:
- Installation of the SuperJack support system to stabilize and level the floor joists and main beams. This system ensures long-term stability and better load distribution.
- Crawl space floor encapsulation:
- Laying of the Delta MS drainage membrane, allowing efficient drainage of infiltrated water.
- Installation of the Pro-20 mm Vapor Barrier membrane, made of polyethylene covered with a durable plastic coating. This 20 mm thick membrane creates a barrier against moisture and insulates the crawl space from the house.
- Thermal insulation:
- Installation of thermal insulation panels on the crawl space walls to reduce heat loss and improve the home's energy efficiency.
With this comprehensive solution:
- Mr. Paquette will benefit from a dry, well-insulated crawl space protected against humidity.
- He will achieve energy savings through improved insulation.
- The stability of the joists and main beams will be ensured in the long term thanks to the SuperJack system.
