Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Before our intervention, the owner was dealing with water infiltration from the garage drain, causing high humidity, condensation, unpleasant odors, and poor insulation in the crawl space. These problems caused discomfort, increased energy bills, and the risk of structural damage. To remedy this, the Systèmes Sous-sol Québec team installed CleanSpace™ drainage membrane and vapor barrier, along with SilverGlo™ wall insulation. The drainage matting facilitates water flow to the perimeter drainage or sump pump thanks to its honeycomb surface, while improving the durability of the encapsulation system. The CleanSpace™ vapor barrier, composed of seven layers and an UltraFresh antimicrobial additive, blocks moisture and prevents mold growth, wood rot, and groundwater infiltration. Combined with SilverGlo™ insulation, these solutions have transformed the crawl space into a dry, well-insulated, and durable space, ensuring a healthier, more energy-efficient, and moisture-protected home, illustrating Systèmes Sous-sol Québec's expertise in crawl space encapsulation and repair throughout the province.

If your foundation is disposed to to condensation or general sogginess such as this basement in Grenville-Sur-La Rouge, we recommend our vapor barrier liner to be installed on your basement walls with our waterproofing system.

The durable liner will work along with our waterproofing system by pushing water along the foundation down into the interior drainage system ‘the Waterguard’ instead of seeping onto the floor.

Problem

Mr. Lincourt wanted to have the block foundation walls of a house he needed to buy inspected, as one of the walls were sloping inward into the basement and some blocks were also pushed inward due to external ground pressure.

Solution

In order to stabilize and reinforce problematic walls, our team of experts installed our galvanized steel PowerBrace beams on the foundation walls. Attached to the floor and joists, the walls got stabilized. There is a clamping device on the PowerBraces to tighten them and slightly straighten the walls over time in order to return them to their original position.

Our client from Saint-Urban-Premier called us regarding his damp crawl space.

This crawl space was so damp; the main beam was so wet and rotting so badly and became so loose due to moisture presence. It also had large mold growing all over it.

We knew right away that his place needs to be stabilized, so we suggested installing our SmartJack system which is a high-capacity, fully-adjustable steel pier, designed to stop settling and can raise your sagging floor back to the proper level.

In addition we suggested the installation of our CleanSpace vapor barrier that prevent moisture elevation and mold growth.

After the installation, this crawl space couldn’t be healthier and our client was very satisfied with the results.

This basement in Saint-Urban-Premier had water leaks on several walls.

After contacting our company, our team inspected his place and installed a WaterGuard drainage system and connected it to the SuperSump System. This SuperSump includes an UltraSump battery back-up which runs on a high-capacity 120 amp power pack. If you lose power, the UltraSump turns on automatically and an alarm sounds to alert you that you are on backup. With a new, fully charged power pack, the UltraSump is capable of pumping out 12,000 total gallons at 2,018 gallons per hour.
