We have waterproofed this dry and rotten basement in Contrecoeur, Qc when our clients started noticing some kind of water seepage in that area.
Water infiltration was actually starting to affect the foundation of the house, in addition to mold growth and mildew.
We started the waterproofing work by installing our interior drainage system ’The Waterguard’ which is installed inside the basement and won't clog with silt or plant roots.
Then the Waterguard was connected to the SuperSump pump that can pump a huge amount of water in the toughest rain periods.
PROBLEM
Our client Anna had water infiltration in her basement for 3 years. This had created mold on the concrete as well as on the stage floor. The infiltration was even more important in the spring when the snow melted and during heavy rains.
SOLUTION
Our team wanted to make sure that the problem was going to be fixed for good;
So we installed a SuperSump pump as well as a WaterGuard drainage system.
Our Waterguard system is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing.
As for the SuperSump pump, it has a built-in alarm alerts when water level rises too high, and a strong, airtight sump cover lid that is child-safe and keeps out insects, odors and radon gas.
The client can now use this space to its maximum capacity.
Our client wanted to fix his sump pump system. After listening to our commercial on the radio, he decided to call us.
An appointment has been set up with our specialist. He moved to the level of our client and took the time to explain the solutions we provide.
In this case, a TripleSafe pump system was proposed. There are three pumps, a primary which is the main pump of the system. A second pump that activates if the water level shows beyond a certain threshold. A third that works with a backup battery in case there is a power outage.
Our client benefits from a quality sump pump system that ensures a dry basement, whatever the conditions.
This Knowlton client has a basement that is half an unfinished basement and half a crawl space. One of these two parts is an extension which was added after the construction of the house. When our client contacted us, she told us that water was seeping at the joint of the two parts between the space where there is a floor and where there is none.
In order to resolve the problem, we sent our specialist Peter to perform a complete inspection of the basement and crawl space to assess the problem and recommend the best solution that will solve the problem.
So we installed the WaterGuard interior drain system where the foundation was affected by water infiltration. Thus, the water which infiltrates at the junction of the two parts of the basement is intercepted and evacuated before it harms the space. Subsequently, the SuperSump sump pump system is installed in the ground in order to evacuate the water collected by the drain and the water present in the soil which seeks to leave.
Finally, the CleanSpace membrane, which is an ultra-resistant vapor barrier, is installed where water moistens the walls. When the foundation is built using concrete blocks, water infiltrates through the joints between the blocks and the water vapors pass through the pores, which humidifies the space.
In Saint-Barnabé-Sud, QC, a homeowner faced a daunting crawl space dilemma— a mere 3 feet high with cracks menacing the walls above, threatening the very stability of their floor without any signs of water infiltration. Notice in the before photo the evident structural woes. Our solution was clear and effective: SmartJack installation. The after photo showcases a revitalized crawl space, securing the home's foundation and bringing peace of mind. A sturdy foundation for years to come, brought to you by our hands.
