Problem

- Bad odors were spreading from the crawlspace.

- Excessive moisture had led to the formation of mold spots, making the air unhealthy.

- The existing pump was not in a sump pit, and struggled to remove infiltrated water.

Solution

- Installation of the SmartSump system: We dug into the ground to install the pump system's receptacle. In addition to the powerful Zoeller pump, the SmartSump system includes a lid and a sealed drain, as well as an alarm to warn in case of potential flooding danger.

- Implementing our perimeter drainage, along with our CleanSpace vapor barrier on top: The perimeter drainage has an alveolus surface that helps transporting infiltrated water to the sump pump. Furthermore, our vapor barrier prevents water from evaporating into the air and inhibits mold growth.

- Installing the SilverGlo thermal insulation on the crawl space walls. It has a radiant barrier that reflects heat inside the crawl space for energy savings.

In Saint-Pierre-De-Broughton, Quebec, a homeowner faced the challenge of a basement without the existence sump pump. As a proactive measure, our client interested in installing a Sump Pump system after they met with our specialist during the Home Show in Quebec City. In response, we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, included three pumps with one of them being a backup battery pump. The TripleSafe offers three levels of protection to manage and redirect water effectively, ensuring the basement remains dry and the homeowner gains peace of mind.

In Notre-Dame-Des-Bois, a homeowner was facing a serious problem with his crawl space. The area was damp all year round, and the constant moisture had created an environment conducive to the spread of mold and foul odors throughout the house. The wooden joists supporting the floor were softening and beginning to rot, causing the floor above to sag and become uneven. The moisture also attracted pests and insects, while the cold, damp air made the upper floors cold and uncomfortable in winter. In addition, the crawl space was unusable for storage due to water damage and rust on metal components.

To put an end to these problems, our team installed our CleanSpace® encapsulation system, a thick, durable vapor barrier that completely seals the crawl space. To remedy the weakening of the floor structure, we added the SmartJack® support system. These adjustable steel supports were installed on a stable base to raise the sagging floors and permanently reinforce the joists against further damage.

Now the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected, with no risk of mold, pests, or wood rot.

In Sainte-Marie, the owner was facing a persistent moisture problem in his crawl space, a situation that was causing mold, unpleasant odors, and concerns about the structural integrity of his home. The humid air was spreading throughout the rooms, affecting comfort and quality of life inside. To permanently solve this problem, our team intervened with our CleanSpace system, a comprehensive and durable solution. We installed a CleanSpace membrane to effectively seal the floor and walls against moisture, added SilverGlo insulation to improve energy efficiency, and integrated the CleanSpace drainage matting to redirect water and prevent future accumulation. The result has literally transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and well-insulated area, protected from leaks and odors. Thanks to this intervention, the house is healthier, more comfortable, and better protected for years to come.

In Saint-Honoré-De-Shenley, a homeowner was dealing with water seeping into their basement. Their aging French drain had stopped doing its job, allowing moisture to collect and linger. Each rainfall brought more stress, and the basement was no longer a reliable, usable part of their home. After contacting Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, the homeowner received a customized waterproofing solution featuring WaterGuard, SuperSump, and IceGuard. Our team installed a system designed to discreetly capture and remove water, even during freezing temperatures. The basement is now clean, dry, and protected year-round—restored as a valuable part of the home and no longer a source of worry.
