Dealing with a flooded basement in Laval, QC, was far from what this homeowner wanted. But as you can see in the before photo, that's exactly what they faced – a real nightmare. The solution? Our trusted SuperSump system, designed for just such a predicament. Notice in the after photo how everything has been transformed. Now, the basement is dry, secure, and ready to withstand the test of time. It's more than just a job well done; it's peace of mind and reliability encapsulated.
A customer from Sainte-Rose contacted us to talk about his concern about the crawl space ceiling of her small commercial building. This one seemed to lack support because we saw a start of wedging between 2 piers of bricks in this cellar of service. To solve this problem, a simple solution was offered to him. Our specialist recommended the installation of SmartJacks support pillars and three PowerBrace steel support beams. These products are specially designed to reinforce the foundation and ceiling of a crawl space. Thus, this system stabilizes the crawl space, gain back the floors to their original position, transfers the weight
Our team has waterproofed this house in Sainte-Rose.
We have first sealed the wall cracks with polyurethane and FlexiSpan injection. Then, our team dug a trench all around the perimeter of the walls to install the WaterGuard interior drain that intercepts water from the floor and walls. A TrenchDrain has also been installed to intercept water coming through doors and stairs.
To evacuate the water in the drain, we installed a SuperSump sump pump system combined with an UltraSump booster pump system. So there is no risk that the basement will be flooded during storms that cause power outages because the UltraSump pump will start automatically and the alarm will indicate that this pump is running.
The replacement of 2 old and defective pumps with a discharge pipe got blocked over time and destroyed Mr. Guy's pumps.
We had to change the pumps and the entire water pipe and protected the pipe with an IceGuard and a LawnScape Outlet as a guaranteed finish.
An Ultra-Sump battery-powered pumping system was installed with charger/controller box and alarm, a sealed, maintenance-free 120AmpHr battery and new conduit were installed so that the water was discharged through an independent discharge line at the exterior of the house.
Guy enjoys a dry and healthy basement.
Water will permanently damage most porous materials by shrinking or warping them, and mildew will damage them even further.
This is why you always need to waterproof your basement before finishing it.
This house in Vimont had been waterproofed by our team last year.
We have installed 37 feet of WaterGuard interior drain, a SuperSump sump pump system and the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane to block moisture and redirect the water to the drain.
Thanks to our products, this basement was always dry and healthy!
