We had a customer in Ottawa who had some concerns with their crawlspace and some sagging due to support loss. Our crew encapsulated the crawlspace and added supplemental beams and smart jacks to help stabilize the floors above and prevent sagging.
Cleanspace vapor barrier installed is an amazing reinforced liner system used to encapsulate crawlspaces and basements, acting as a durable, bright white barrier against moisture, outside air, pests, and mold, creating a healthier, cleaner, and more energy efficient foundation environment. It's installed on floors and walls, often with other components like drainage matting, turning damp, musty areas into sealed, usable spaces. Strong key features with Cleanspace is that it is
- durable and strong. 20mm thick liner designed to resist punctures, tears, and wear.
- Moisture control. It helps block out water and humidity from the ground and wall,s preventing rot and mold.
- Improved air quality. Keeps out musty odors and helps create a healthier indoor environment.
- Anti-Mold. Contains an ultra fresh additive to prevent mold growth.
- Passive radon mitigation. It can serve as a passive system to reduce radon entry.
- Integrated system. Works well with other products like drainage mats and vent covers for complete encapsulation.
Installing a supplemental beam is an added structural support, often steel, placed under a main beam in crawlspaces or basements to fix sagging floors, reduce bounce, and reinforce failing supports, using adjustable jacks like Smart Jacks to lift and stabilize the structure for long term stability and to prevent further damage. Key features of supplemental beams and smart jacks
- Fix sagging Floors. It addresses uneven or bouncy floors caused by failing main beams, preventing floor joists from deflecting.
- Add strength. It increases the load bearing capacity of a compromised floor system, handling heavier items like appliances or safes.
- Stabilizes structure. Provides lasting support, often lifting the main beam back to its original level.
- Supports weak beams. reinforces beams that can't handle current or increased loads, preventing cracks and potential collapse.
