Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Before the installation, the homeowner in L'Orignal, ON was struggling with a sump pump that could no longer keep up with rising groundwater. The existing system lacked a reliable backup and left the basement vulnerable during heavy rainfall and power outages. Water management outside the home was also a concern, as discharge was not being directed far enough away from the foundation, increasing the risk of recurring moisture issues.

After the installation, the basement was fully protected with a TripleSafe Sump Pump system designed to handle high water volumes and provide continuous protection. With a primary pump, secondary pump, and battery-powered backup, the system now keeps the basement dry even during severe weather or power failures. The addition of IceGuard prevents discharge line freezing, while the LawnScape outlet safely directs water away from the foundation and blends neatly into the landscape. The homeowner now has a dependable, long-term solution and peace of mind knowing their basement is well protected.

In Namur, a homeowner was dealing with moisture issues in their basement, water infiltration, and flood risk, made worse by a faulty sump pump, as shown in the “Before” photo. These problems threatened the comfort, safety, and structural integrity of the property. Our team of experts at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec stepped in to replace the faulty equipment with our TripleSafe sump pump system, providing reliable drainage, flood protection, and a dry, healthy basement, even during heavy rains. The “After” photo shows how this comprehensive solution restored a safe, moisture-free environment while strengthening the structural protection of the home, illustrating our expertise in sustainable repair and water management for basements.

This client contacted us initially to fix his humidity problem in his crawlspace, but while we were there, we noticed that there was a very large crack in the foundation wall of the crawl space.

We fixed this issue by installing the PowerBrace system. It consists of zinc coated beams and components. PowerBraces utilize a joist reinforcement that distributes the load evenly. The crawl space is now stable and sealed.

Mr. Galarneau from Boileau, Quebec, faced a persistent humidity problem at home for five years. After extensive internet searches, he discovered our website and reached out for help. Upon receiving his request, we promptly conducted a free inspection and provided a quote. Our specialist assessed the situation and recommended a comprehensive solution, including full encapsulation of the dirt crawl space using CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier and CleanSpace® Crawl Space Drainage Matting System. Three SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer piers were installed to reinforce the floor, along with a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system, and IceGuard® and LawnScape discharge systems.

Foreman Felix executed the installation, addressing structural issues by installing SmartJack® piers. The dirt crawl space was encapsulated to reduce humidity, and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System was added for efficient water drainage. To prevent freezing and ensure proper water disposal, two IceGuard® and one LawnScape™ Discharge Line Outlet Systems were installed. Thanks to the expertise of our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, Mr. Galarneau's long-standing issues are now permanently resolved, saving him time and money.

In Amherst, our client was facing an increasingly worrying problem: a sagging crawl space, warped floor joists, and visible cracks in the walls and ceilings on the ground floor. These signs revealed a weakening of the load-bearing structure, a very common problem in old crawl spaces where moisture, wood rot, and unstable support pillars compromise the solidity of the house.

To permanently correct the situation, the Systèmes Sous-sol Québec team installed the SmartJack™ system, an adjustable galvanized steel structural reinforcement solution designed to support and straighten floor beams and joists. This system offers high load capacity and can be adjusted over time to ensure the home's long-term stability.

Thanks to this installation, the crawl space is now solid, secure, and compliant with modern structural standards. The ground floor has been restored to its original level, eliminating sagging and vibrations caused by lack of support. This transformation demonstrates how Systèmes Sous-sol Québec helps homeowners in Amherst and across Quebec correct floor sagging, prevent structural damage, and reinforce the durability of their homes with solutions such as SmartJack™.
