Solution for Stabilizing and Sanitizing a Crawlspace in Lachute, QC

Challenge

Our client in Lachute contacted us due to humidity issues and the presence of a rotting wooden beam in their crawlspace. These problems were at risk of causing floor sagging and weakening the structure of the crawlspace. After conducting online research and consulting several moisture and mold experts, the homeowners concluded that the source of the problem lay in their non-encapsulated crawlspace. The unpleasant odors, discomfort in the house, and very cold floors prompted them to seek a solution to these issues once and for all.

Resolution

After a thorough inspection, our specialist recommended the installation of SuperJack posts to reinforce the structure. This solution helps prevent any future floor sagging and strengthens the crawlspace structure. SuperJacks provide additional support and help maintain the structure in place. Next, we proposed the implementation of a crawlspace floor encapsulation system by installing the 20-millimeter Vapor Barrier membrane. This polyethylene membrane coated with a thick 20-millimeter plastic helps drain infiltrated water and isolate the crawlspace from the house, reducing humidity.

Thanks to this solution offered by our experts, our client can now have peace of mind and enjoy a secure crawlspace. At our company, we place great importance on structural safety issues and are proud to have provided an effective solution to address our client's problems. Our team of specialists is always ready to provide expert advice and tailored solutions for every situation to ensure the safety of our clients.
