Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Our customers were having problems with water infiltration in their basement and needed the interference of our company.
Our complete basement waterproofing system blocks water vapor, traps leaks, and redirects and pumps that water away from your home. We installed such a system at this Saint-Hyacinthe client.

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.

In this home in Frelighsburg, the basement was far from being a pleasant space. After every rain, water seeped in, moisture became trapped, and a lingering odor set in. Over time, this kind of situation can lead to mold, damage materials, and render the space unusable.

We therefore implemented a comprehensive basement waterproofing solution, proceeding step by step. First, we installed Drainage Matting and CleanSpace to protect surfaces and better manage moisture, followed by the WaterGuard system to capture water directly at the source. Next, we installed the SuperSump pump to ensure efficient and continuous drainage.

Structurally, PowerBrace was installed to anchor and stabilize the foundation walls, while SmartJack supports and reinforces the structure as needed. Finally, a gutter downspout extension was added to the end of the drainpipe to divert water away from the foundation and prevent future buildup.

Today, the results speak for themselves: a dry, healthy, and much more pleasant basement to live in. No more moisture, no more odors, and above all, no more worries every time it rains.

This is the type of work that truly protects the home in the long term, while providing immediate comfort.

Before our work started, our experts discovered several problems in this crawl space:

- A cold and wet crawl space

- Split wooden support beams

- Rusty support pillars

- Water infiltration

The danger was that the weight of the house split the wooden beams and the humidity in the crawl space caused the supporting pillars to rust. These factors threatened the support of the entire house.

In order to solve the foundation problem, our experts added 3 additional wooden beams to the existing ones in order to properly support and distribute the weight of the house. They dug in places in the crawl space to install a total of 10 SmartJack support pillars. They are made from galvanized steel and are used to stabilize and level beams and floor joists in the crawl space. Then, to remedy the water infiltration problem, the customer already had a working sump pump so our experts installed a stamped polyethylene drainage membrane that allows water to flow to the sump pump. . To finalize it, they laid our CleanSpace coating on top of the drainage membrane as an insulating layer. This coating has several functions, including preventing water from the floor from evaporating and creating humidity in the crawl space.

Our client will no longer have to worry about his crawl space or his foundation. His crawl space is now clean and dry and its foundation leveled and stabilized.

Our client had a damp crawl space with potential mold problems. To solve his problem for good he contacted our company.

To do this, we installed a Drainage Matting with the CleanSpace to block the moisture that emerges from the earth, as well as a SuperSump to clear the water that accumulates, and an IceGuard to prevent backflows during the winter.

Thanks to these solutions, our client benefits from a crawl space protected against moisture damages.
