When our client purchased this house, he knew of the existence of the water table. What he didn't know was the problems with this location. Indeed, a house located on a water table can lead to significant water infiltration in the basement. The client wanted to avoid this.
Mr. Savard therefore wanted a solution that would not only collect the infiltrating water, but also eliminate it from his basement. The chosen combination was therefore our WaterGuard and our SuperSump pump system.
Our SuperSump can help keep the basement dry by discharging the internal drain, and lowering the water level in the soil under the slab.
The WaterGuard Drain is specifically designed to be placed above the base on a bed of rocks, slowing down the flow of water and preventing the drain from clogging. In addition, it is important that it contains a 3/8 inch built-in space between the floor and the wall to drain infiltrations from the wall. Spacers visible along the wall allow water to be collected in the drain while blocking dirt and debris. Once covered with concrete, the drain merges into the decor without damaging the structure of the foundation. In order to perform system checks, we also install an inspection port that allows access to the drain and ensures its smooth operation over the years. The WaterGuard drain is the new technology in drainage and its effectiveness is proven!
There was a very high level of humidity in this basement in Sutton. The problem with stone walls is that they are more conducive to water infiltration, as there are many cracks and spaces between the stones which allow water, humidity and cold to enter the basement.
To remedy this situation, we installed our patented TripleSafe sump pump system which removes water from the ground. It is our most efficient system and is equipped with 3 pumps; a main pump, an alternative and a battery. Next, we installed our patented WaterGuard interior drainage system. In this way the water which passes through the wall or which comes from the ground is directed directly towards the TripleSafe pump which will expel it outside the house. Finally, we insulated the walls with our superior Foamax insulation which gives a clear and clean appearance to the basement.
Before diving into our basement transformation in Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieu, QC, the basement was showing visible signs of water infiltration, a common issue magnified by an outdated sump pump. We installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump, not just upgrading the homeowner's sump system, but revitalizing their space into a drier, safer environment. This is how we turn basement woes into wins, providing peace of mind with every installation.
Before our team stepped in, the basement in this Saint Paul home faced moisture issues due to the absence of a sump pump, as you can see in the left photo. Mid-dampness and concerns of potential water damage loomed large over the homeowner's peace of mind. After assessing the situation, we introduced our TripleSafe Sump Pump, a robust solution for their basement woes. Notice in the right photo how the space is now secure, dry, and comfortable. We transformed a pressing problem into a reliable, long-lasting solution, once again underlining our commitment to delivering a remarkable customer experience with every job we undertake.
