Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

In Saint-Guillaume, QC, an uninsulated crawl space was causing floor movement and instability in the support beams, due to moisture infiltration clearly visible in the first photo. The excess humidity had begun to compromise both comfort and structural integrity.

To resolve the issue, Systèmes Sous-sol Québec installed a complete CleanSpace® Encapsulation System, paired with CleanSpace™ Drainage Matting. As shown in the ‘after’ photo, this custom solution created a sealed, durable environment that prevents moisture from entering and damaging the space.

To further enhance protection, we added the SmartDrain™ system, designed to detect plumbing leaks beneath the liner. If a leak occurs, it redirects water safely while sounding an alert—providing early warning and peace of mind for the homeowner.

This tailored approach not only stabilized the crawl space structure but also safeguarded the area against long-term moisture issues. The result is a clean, dry, and resilient foundation that helps preserve the home’s value and comfort for years to come.

Problem

Water was still to seep into our client's basement, despite him redoing his french drain recently. During the free inspection, our specialist Jorge explained that the French drain, despite its popularity, can have certain limitations. It can get clogged due to the accumulation of soil inside. Besides, its maintenance is costly and time-consuming, which requires excavation.

Solution

- We installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system around the perimeter of the basement, on the foundation footing. The WaterGuard pipes have a 3/8-inch protruding flange to channel water from the walls directly into the system. Additionally, the WaterGuard system features a series of openings for easy access to the drains for cleaning, inspection, or repairs.

- We connected the drain to our revolutionary SuperSump sump pump, which, thanks to the Zoeller pump, can absorb up to approximately 14,500 liters of water per hour.

- We installed a discharge line with our IceGuard system to prevent any flooding in case of freezing of the discharge line.

Before, this Granby homeowner faced a common but frustrating issue: a cold, damp basement plagued with excess humidity. Notice in the before photo the signs of moisture along the walls, a problem many in our region can relate to. Fast forward - our team installed WaterGuard and SuperSump systems, revolutionizing the space into a dry, comfortable haven. In addition, our SilverGlo pannels installed on the wall serve as thermal insulation in order to keep a warm temparture. As you can see in the after photo, the transformation is remarkable. Our solutions not only solved their immediate concerns but also secured their basement against future water issues, ensuring a reliable and lasting fix to make their home feel whole again.

A vented dirt crawl space is not a good thing. Damp exposed soils contribute to a lot of water vapor into the air and humid air fosters the proliferation of bacteria such as mold and allergens. Moreover, groundwater seeps and leaks rush from under the footing, between the footing and walls, right through block walls and through cracks in poured walls. Once inside, the water stays there slowly evaporating into the air. It is very difficult to completely dry damp earth but when it does dry a little, water vapors move upward into the house towards your bedrooms and living rooms.

To fix this problem, we completely encapsulated this crawlspace using our heavy duty CleanSpace drainage matting and CleanSpace liner and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifying system. The Sedona eliminates damp, musty odors in your crawlspace by drying and filtering the air. It's a high performance and high-efficiency systems. You will save on electricity while keeping your space dry and healthy for many years to come.
