Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Problem: For this Beaulac-Garthby customer, the problem is that she often lost the electricity in her place and when there was heavy rainfall, the original sump pump was not delivering enough.

Solution: Our certified specialist suggested that this client installs a suitable pump for her needs. She opted for the TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is equipped with a back-up battery when there is a power failure and in addition it is equipped with two levels in order to remove the water at two different rates, with one being more powerful than the other.

In Saint-Elzéar, our client was looking for a solution to address the problematic conditions in their crawl space. The area was affected by excessive moisture, which could lead to persistent odors, condensation, a feeling of damp air, and conditions conducive to mold growth. Since the crawl space plays a significant role in a home’s comfort and air quality, it was essential to implement a long-term solution rather than a mere temporary fix. Our solution involved creating a better-controlled environment by installing a drainage matting, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a SmartSump® sump pump. The membrane manages water beneath the structure, while the CleanSpace® system seals the crawl space to limit vapor infiltration from the ground. The SmartSump® pump completes the installation by ensuring the efficient removal of collected water.

With this new setup, the crawl space now benefits from better protection against moisture and water infiltration, while helping to preserve the foundation, improve the home’s comfort, and maintain better indoor air quality.

A homeowner in Saint-Zacharie was dealing with persistent flooding in his basement, caused by an outdated and inefficient sump pump system. The existing system lacked both the capacity and discharge pressure needed to handle the influx of groundwater, resulting in repeated water infiltration, high humidity levels, and increasing risks to both the foundation and stored property.

Our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec performed a complete upgrade by installing the high-performance SuperSump system. This solution is specifically designed to effectively manage large volumes of water, even during periods of peak flow. The system includes a durable pump, an airtight cover to reduce humidity and odors, and a built-in alarm system that alerts the homeowner in the event of high water levels or potential issues.

Additionally, the improved configuration ensures better pressure management and faster drainage of water away from the property, significantly reducing the risk of future flooding. This solution not only stabilizes the basement environment but also helps preserve the structural integrity of the home.

Thanks to this reliable and modern solution, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, safe, and well-protected basement, along with lasting peace of mind.

We isolated from this foundation from the outside, since it was under a lot of pressure from the earth because of the movement of soil, water, and moisture.

The SentrySeal system and SilverGlo are a combination of products that we use to protect the foundation by isolating it from moisture and excessive heat transfer.

The SentrySeal waterproof membrane is 60 mils thick and is specifically designed to be a complete and consistent barrier to block water vapor.

The SilverGlo insulation is waterproof and offers a thermal resistance value of R-11 thanks to the graphite particles infused into the insulation. In addition, the reflective barrier that covers this insulation allows the heat to be reflected and stored inside to reduce the cost of heating humid air.

When the crawl space is not isolated from the house and the soil of the area where the house is located is filled with water, the water vapor emerges and humidifies much of the crawl space air.

The best thing to do in order to solve this problem is to contact experts such as our company and encapsulate the whole area.

The process used in this crawl space in Saint-Jacques-Le-Majeur is composed from a CleanSpace liner to lock out any moisture coming in, a SmartDrain to collect water both from plumbing leaks in the home as well as sudden groundwater problems beneath the liner, and SaniDry Cx dehumidifier which is a self-draining system that eliminates the chore of emptying collection trays, while an air filter eliminates particles from the air as small as 2 microns!
