ENCAPSULATION & DEHUMIDIFICATION
CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION & DEHUMIDICFICATION SERVICES IN GREATER MONTREAL AREA
Moisture in your crawl space is not something to ignore, it’s a hidden problem that can affect your home’s structure, your indoor air quality, and your overall comfort. At Akton Injection, we specialize in professional crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification services in Montreal, Laval, and North Shore of Montreal, delivering durable, high-performance solutions tailored to your property.
Across Quebec, many homes and cottages are built on crawl spaces, making them especially vulnerable to excess humidity. When left untreated, moisture can seep in through the ground, plumbing leaks, or heavy rainfall. This creates the perfect environment for mold growth, wood rot, pest infestations, and long-term structural damage.
​
​Even more concerning, mold spores naturally present in the soil can easily enter your home through the crawl space. Once airborne, they can contribute to allergies, respiratory issues, skin irritation, and other health concerns. A damp crawl space doesn’t just stay below your home—it impacts the air you breathe every day.
COMMON SIGNS OF CRAWL SPACE MOISTURE ISSUES
Mold growth on wood or surfaces
Rotting beams and structural weakening
Termite or pest damage
Buckling or warping hardwood floors
Musty odors and high humidity indoors
An unsealed dirt crawl space allows ground moisture to rise freely, increasing humidity levels throughout your home. This can lead to discomfort, higher energy bills, and worsening asthma or allergy symptoms.
A COMPLETE SOLUTION FOR A DRY, HEALTHY CRAWL SPACE
Our approach focuses on eliminating moisture at the source and creating a controlled, sealed environment under your home.
Drainage Membrane System
Installed beneath the vapor barrier, our advanced drainage membrane improves water flow and directs it toward a perimeter drainage system or sump pump. Its dimpled surface helps channel water efficiently while increasing the durability of the encapsulation system.
​
High-Performance Vapor Barrier
Our premium vapor barrier is made of a thick, multi-layer polyethylene material (20 mil) reinforced for maximum strength and durability. Installed across the crawl space floor, it creates a sealed barrier that prevents moisture, soil gases, and contaminants from entering your home. It also includes antimicrobial properties to resist mold growth.
​
Sump Pump System
When water infiltration is present, we install a powerful sump pump system designed specifically for crawl spaces. Water collected by the drainage system is safely discharged away from your home. We also offer battery backup systems to ensure continuous protection—even during power outages.
​
High-Efficiency Dehumidifier
Our advanced dehumidification systems maintain optimal humidity levels (below 55%) automatically. With the ability to remove up to 9 gallons of water per day while consuming minimal energy, these systems prevent mold, musty odors, wood decay, and pest infestations—without the need for manual draining.
THOROUGHT PREPARATION & PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
Before installing any system, our team ensures your crawl space is properly prepared. We remove organic materials such as wood debris and contaminants that can promote mold growth. If mold is present, we perform a thorough cleaning using specialized products to eliminate contamination at the source. This ensures a clean foundation for long-lasting results.
