A resident of Greenfield Park contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec’in order to have his basement inspected by a specialist. Due to hydro-static pressure, the water that accumulated around the foundation easily seeped through it and ended up on the basement walls and floors.
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.
To finish the basement without waterproofing it would have been a bad idea since the risk would have always been present and the water would have infiltrated again and ruined the place.
Those are the reasons why we recommend Mrs. Vanessa who lives in Anjou, to do waterproofing work in her new house that was having water seepage through the floor joists under the stairs, into a cold room and the nearby corridor
At the start, we installed the WaterGuard drain under the perimeter of the affected regions. This drain is specially designed to drain the water flowing from the walls, the wall-to-floor, and under-floor joints and redirects it to the pump.
And then we installed The TripleSafe sump pump which is the most efficient pump on the market with 3 existing pumps for more safety.
Finally, we completed this system by installing the IceGuard accessories and LawnScape. The first allows the water to drain even if the pipe freezes in winter and the second lets the water out of the foundation by hiding itself in the grass.
Before tackling this homeowner's challenge in Pike River, QC, their crawl space was barely recognizable: poorly insulated and lacking sturdy foundation support. As you can see in the photo, it was an area in dire need of intervention. But take a look at the after photo - our team transformed it with SmartJack for solid foundation reinforcement, wrapped it up with CleanSpace for a waterproof barrier, and insulated with SilverGlo to keep it energy-efficient. This isn't just a repair; it's a long-term solution ensuring comfort and stability for years to come.
When you have a sump pump that does not have a lid, it is highly likely that your pit is getting dirt and other contaminants in it, which can lead to clogs that will cause it to slow down or stop eventually.
So when we came to check this sump pump in Longueil, we knew right away that it needs to be replaced by a new one.
Our TripleSafe sump pump comes with a three-pump system that adjusts automatically to meet pumping requirements, in addition to a battery-powered pump to protect the place from flooding during power outages.
Ms. Perreault had a very wet crawl space that was not isolated. The humidity was felt all over the house so she was worried about the quality of the air in her home. She decided to call Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to solve her problems once and for all.
At start, our specialists installed our EZ Flow drainage system which was connected to our SuperSump sump pump system. This way, the water is directed down the drain and discharged by the sump pump. Then, in order to eliminate the humidity, our drainage membrane as well as our CleanSpace coating was installed. The membrane, among other things, allows surface water to flow into the sump pump system and create a thermal cushion. Our CleanSpace serves to insulate the house from the earthen floor and lock in moisture. It also gives a clear and clean appearance to the crawl space.
