Before & After Photos

Having an open sump is one of the problems that will cause a high level of humidity in a basement.

This sump in Sainte-Julienne was not doing its job since at each great rain the water ended above the slab of this basement.

We have replaced this old pump with our TripleSafe pump and this basement is now completely waterproofed!

This pump has a hermetically closed system (no moisture that emerges), which installs with a floor drain and an alarm system.

The problem

Ms. Lauzé had problems with water infiltration in her basement that had entered through the joint between the footing and the foundation walls. This had created mold and completely damaged her floor.

The solution

Install a WaterGuard interior foundation drain all along the foundation walls. The WaterGuard sits directly on the footing and collects water from the joint and walls to direct it to the existing sump pump system. Once installed, it is covered with concrete, ready for the installation of the floor and the bottom of the drywall, services that Basement Systems can also offer Everlast and ThermalDry.

Water in a crawl space is not a good thing, since it makes the air humid, the air of the whole house is affected by this moisture, and building materials will deteriorate more quickly.

After contacting us, we sent one of our specialists to this crawl space in Marieville  to make an assessment for the waterproofing and encapsulation of this crawl space.

We installed our CleanSpace Liner which is a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting into your crawl space.

Problem

Mr Achachi had moisture problems in his basement. He could see in some places of his basement walls traces of water and this meant that there was water seeping through the foundation walls in his basement.

One of the causes was the presence of cracks in the foundation walls that allowed water and moisture to seep into the basement.

Solution

We first sealed these cracks with our FlexiSpan solution. Next, we installed a SuperSump sump pump system which includes a 1 / 2HP cast iron Zoeller pump. This way the soil water is drained outside away from the house and it can reduce the humidity in the basement. And then a WaterGuard foundation interior drain was laid on the foundation footing. This collects the water coming from the walls and which may be on the surface of the ground to direct it towards the SuperSump to evacuate it.

Today’s sump equipment is better than ever and very reliable.

We at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec have the best sump pumps in the market!

In this basement in McMasterville, we have installed our SuperSump pump system, and waterproofed the place.

The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.
