Before & After Photos

Problem: The client who lives in Lantier had a French drain which was often blocked, the water was not draining properly and moreover, he had no insulation in the basement.

 Solution: We installed our Waterguard interior drainage system to facilitate drainage to the sump pump. In addition we have added Foamax on the walls with a membrane to help the water drainage towards the WaterGuard.

The problem

Mr. Yang had a sump pump system that was not working very well and was unreliable because it often stoped. On top of that, his pump system stops working during power outages and he does not have a "back up" pump. This worried him, because 2 years ago, he experienced a flood in his basement. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a free estimate to install a reliable and efficient sump pump system in order to prevent another flood.

The solution

Replacing our customer's sump pump system that no longer worked well for our TripleSafe system. This is our most efficient solution, because this system includes 3 pumps; a Zoeller 1/3 HP cast iron main pump, a second Zoeller 1/2 HP pump which engages if the quantity of water to be evacuated becomes important and then a third UltraSump battery backup pump which activates during power outages. In addition to this, a WaterWatch alarm sounds to alert you when the water level exceeds the limit where the pump should have been running. An external discharge line to evacuate water away from the house has been installed. It includes our IceGuard emergency water drainage system which allows water to be drained in the event of freezing or blocked discharge line. This prevents water from backing up into the basement.

With the TripleSafe system, Mr. Yang will have the peace of mind, because in case of a power failure or not, he has a reliable and efficient system.

Our client, Lee, had water infiltration during every season in his basement. Having done the finishing of the entire place, he would run the risk of developing mold.

To solve the problem, we installed an ElitePlank floor that resists mold. At the same time, an interior drainage system evacuates water that may infiltrate during periods of rain and thaw.

Thanks to our solutions, our client benefits from a basement protected against water infiltration and mold.

Here is one of our worksites in Saint-Lambert, where we changed the open and poorly performing pedestal pump with our company’s best sump pump systems, the TripleSafe.

Pumps on pedestals overheat and usually make more noise since they are installed outside the sump!

The TripleSafe system, as you see in the photo, has 3 pumps including a battery-operated backup pump to continuously operate and minimize the risk of water infiltration into the basement.

A resident of Saint-Lambert contacted Basement Systems Quebec in order to have his basement inspected by a specialist. Due to hydrostatic pressure, the water that accumulated around the foundation easily seeped through it and ended up on the basement floor. Our technicians recommended the installation of the WaterGuard interior foundation drain system and the SuperSump sump pump system. Once the installation was complete, our client’s basement was completely waterproofed.
