Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Mr. Boivin discovered this year that he had a problem with his house foundation. One of its walls was curved in the center about 3 ”towards the interior of the basement. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a reliable and permanent solution.

The solution for our client was the installation of 5 ArmorLock Carbon straps linked and attached to the joists using our ArmorLock system. CarbonArmor is made of carbon fibers and epoxy and it helps solidify and stabilize cracked or arched foundation walls. When ground pressure forces foundation walls to bend or tilt inward, this is where the ArmorLock system comes in to help. It serves as additional reinforcement as the straps are attached to the ArmorLock system which is attached to the joist. Holding the foundation wall to the ledge joist will prevent soil pressure from pushing the wall inward.

With this system, Mr. Rousseau can have the peace of mind as his foundation wall will not budge.

Our client, a homeowner in Saint-Fortunat, Quebec, was worried about the situation within his basement. Humidity was high and moisture smells were making things uncomfortable. Upon the visit of our specialist, he explained that the absence of a drainage system is resulting in water seeping inside the basement and thus increasing moisture. If things remained that way, mold will most probably grow, and we might face structural damages. As a solution, we installed our patented WaterGuard drainage system along the footing of the basement. The installation was quick and smooth, with minimal disturbance. In addition, and to maximize the good results, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barriers on the wall. This membrane will limit the moisture coming from the basement walls.

At our client's home in Inverness, the basement had a combination of problems including moisture, water infiltration, damp walls, wet floors, condensation, mold odors, stale air, and material degradation, affecting comfort, indoor air quality, and home performance. To eliminate these risks, we installed the WaterGuard® drainage system, designed to effectively intercept and channel infiltrated water, the SuperSump™ sump pump, a high-end system offering reliable, quiet, and durable drainage, and the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, known for its high-performance humidity control, allergen reduction, mold prevention, and overall air quality improvement. The result: a basement that is now dry, waterproof, clean, protected against infiltration, free from excessive moisture, odors, and mold, offering enhanced structural stability and a healthy and safe space for the home.
