This client contacted us the first time in 2013 to request a bid to waterproof his basement which was suffering from water infiltration. Having decided that he was in no hurry to carry out the work, he dropped the project but contacted us again in 2019 to resume the project, as the problems worsened.
Our team installed a WaterGuard interior drain perimeter that intercepts water that seeps into the foundation, floor, and walls. This internal drain is connected to a sump pump system to evacuate water away from home.
Once the drain was installed around the foundation, our team covered the walls with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane that blocks the water vapor so that it does not wick the space. This membrane also redirects the infiltrations of water if there are some towards the drain. The vapor barrier prevents mold and bloom from appearing and proliferating.
Problem: This Morin-Heights client had an uninsulated crawl space that was wet and left an unpleasant odor through the floor of the first floor. This is why he decided to contact us to receive a free quote.
Solution: The solution chosen during this project was to install our CleanSpace system throughout the crawl space. So to start, our foreman sealed all possible air leaks in the crawl space with expandable foam. Subsequently to redirect the water to the sump pump, a drainage membrane was installed over the entire floor of the crawl space and following it we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane on top to waterproof everything. Finally, we also installed the SilverGlow, our insulation type EPS laminated with aluminum foil, to insulate this crawl space.
Since our intervention, the humidity of this crawl space has been reduced and the customer now benefits from a better insulated crawl space.
The problem: This Pierrefonds client had a crack in his foundation wall. As we can see in the photo, it was still quite important.
The solution: We injected the crack with a polyurethane and then we covered it with our product called Flexispan. At the crack, we dug a small hole to put a drainage membrane to redirect the water.
In Mr. Birks' basement, there were 2 cracks on the walls of his foundation. When it rained or simply when he turned on his garden hose, water would pass through these cracks and create water infiltration inside. Our client wanted to finish his basement and in order to do that he had to repair these cracks. He therefore contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a quick solution to eliminate this water infiltration.
Our experts started by injecting polyurethane into the cracks. This resin goes deep into the cracked wall, unlike methods that simply repair the surface, and goes down to the ground outside. Following the injection, they installed our FlexiSpan wall crack repair system to stop water from coming in.
Polyurethane injection combined with FlexiSpan is a permanent solution to keep wall cracks dry.
Issue:
Mr. Anderson had an old faulty pump that needed to be replaced.
Solution:
Our team replaced his old pump with a more powerful SuperSump. Then the plumber connected the pump to the city sewer.
