Problem

Our client Alexandre, living in Magog, called us as he was experiencing some issues with his sump pump. In fact, he noticed that it was inadequate, given the amount of water that consistently filled the sump pit, sometimes even causing water to escape and damage the basement floor. Our specialist Dan went on-site for a detailed inspection. After confirming Alexandre's observations, he emphasized that action should be taken as soon as possible to avoid additional damage, that could even reach the house's  foundation.

Solution

The optimal solution was to install our TripleSafe sump pump system to ensure basement safety. This system includes two highly efficient Zoeller pumps, with a third backup pump that operates on battery power. This allows the pump to continue working even in the event of an unexpected power outage. Moreover, the AlarmWatch system will provide advance warning to prevent any potential disasters.

With TripleSafe, Alexandre no longer has any concerns about problems in his basement.

Problem

Our client living in Saint-Remi-De-Tingwick was dissatisfied with the performance of his current sump pump. Indeed, water had repeatedly filled the sump pit before the pump could evacuate it. Our specialist, Nickolas, went to conduct a thorough inspection. The pump didn't stop working, which could cause its wear and tear in the near future, leading to other more serious structural damages.

Solution

Our team of workers, managed by Colin, proceeded to replace the sump pump with the SuperSump: It includes a Zoeller sump pump capable of pumping approximately 8,300 liters of water per hour out of the basement at a height of 8 feet. Furthermore, this system is equipped with a backup pump; an added UltraSump battery pump allowing the drainage system to operate in case of a power outage. The battery backup system will recharge automatically. Then, we installed the discharge pipe, allowing the water to be directed outside and away from the house.

Problem

Mr. Damien, who lives in Granby QC, had concerns regarding his crawlspace. Its floor was still dirt, and it was not waterproofed, causing moisture problems in his home. After filling out the free estimation form on our website, we quickly scheduled an appointment for a specialist to come and inspect his crawlspace. Our specialist Nickolas went to Granby to conduct the inspection. He deduced that the best plan would be to encapsulate the crawlspace to prevent moisture from entering and deteriorating the atmosphere in his home.

Solution

Our team of workers went to Mr. Damien's residence. They first laid down the CleanSpace crawlspace drainage membrane on the entire crawlspace floor. This drainage system is designed to collect water from the crawlspace floor and direct it towards the SmartDrain. The WaterWatch alarm, which is part of this drain, could help identify potential plumbing leaks. They then installed a layer of the CleanSpace vapor barrier over the drainage membrane. This product was created as a super durable plastic sheet that will permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from entering the crawlspace.

Our client can now enjoy living inside his home without the need to worry about the bad consequences of an unencapsulated crawlspace. Another job well done by our team at Basement Systems Quebec.

Problem:

Our client Mario, living in Laval, had a foundation crack causing water infiltration inside the basement. As a result, the basement was becoming increasingly humid, posing potential harmful consequences to the house's foundation. Client filled out the free estimate form on our website, and we promptly scheduled an appointment. Our specialist Roxane carefully examined the existing crack: It was vertical, visible from both the outside and inside. There were efflorescence traces along the crack, indicating excessive humidity resulting from water infiltration. Roxane proposed a solution using our patented FlexiSpan system to repair the crack.

Solution:

We began by injecting polyurethane into the crack. This resin reacts against the water to form a tight, flexible, and effective seal inside the wall.

Moreover, the FlexiSpan system is a revolutionary and permanent solution for repairing cracks with water infiltrations. In fact, the crack is sealed with a special flexible sealant that stops water flow through the crack. This sealant layer is applied from the top of the crack to the bottom, and exerting no pressure on the concrete wall.

Our client is relieved. His basement and house are protected from a serious issue now that we have taken action.

Facing water infiltration and excess humidity within a basement in Saint-Paul-De-L'ile-Aux-Noix, Quebec, we put in place our patented WaterGuard internal drainage, which will perfectly channel all the infiltrated water outside and far from the house's foundation. In addition, and to regulate the humidity levels, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls. Same will also channel the infiltrated water from the walls directly to the drainage system and will not allow it to evaporate, thus reducing the humidity.

Client was satisfied with the outcome, as he will be soon finishing the basement with peace of mind.
