Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Discover how we transformed a damp dilemma into a dry dream in Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague, QC! Initially, as seen in the before photo, excessive humidity plagued this homeowner's basement, making it a less than ideal space. But fear not! With our expert installation of WaterGuard drainage and the TripleSafe Sump Pump, as evidenced in the after photo, we've turned tides against moisture. This basement is now snugly secured against water woes, showcasing our commitment to providing lasting solutions and unmatched customer experiences.

This basement in Salaberry-De-Valleyfield has been waterproofed thanks to our WaterGuard interior drain system and our SuperSump sump pump. Once connected, these two products form a highly efficient drainage system that intercepts water from the floor of this basement at the foundation and redirects it away from the foundation of the house. SilverGlow insulation has been added to insulate this space. SilverGlo is an expanded polystyrene insulation infused with graphite. The silver barrier also allows the reflection of heat towards the basement. 

This insulation and waterproofing system allow the basement space to block any water infiltration as well as preserve heat, which leads to a reduction in energy consumption costs. This basement is not comfortable and can be finished and used efficiently. 

This crawl space in Oka was flooded during springtime and there was the presence of mold that developed all over the Crawl Space.

Water and moisture were damaging the foundation and the concrete of the place.

We sent our specialist Eugene to perform a full inspection and recommend the best solution.

We started by decontaminating the entire crawl space to eliminate mold and fungi.

And since encapsulation will allow the crawl space to be protected at all times, our team encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane which is a membrane that insulates the house from the earth.

 The CleanSpace membrane is specially designed for crawl spaces: it is thick, sturdy, tear-resistant and contains an antibacterial additive.

And finally, we stabilized the foundations with our SmartJacks galvanized steel support beams. These beams support the joists and will be highly resistant to the hostile environment of the crawl space.

The spring of 2019 was very difficult for the residents of Oka. Several houses were flooded, causing major damages to basements throughout the city. We have waterproofed several residences, including this one, to prevent underground floods that could reach the next thaw.

We have installed a WaterGuard interior drain perimeter that intercepts water seeping through the joint between the foundation wall and the floor. Then we installed a TripleSafe sump pump system that contains 3 pumps in an airtight coating. One of the sump pumps in this coating is a battery-backed emergency pump that will start during a power outage to protect your basement.

After being flooded many times, our clients in Oka decided to waterproof their basement the best way, once and for all.  
Since one of the main problems was the inadequate sump pump system and their proximity to the Lake of Two Mountains, we installed 2 of our TripleSafe sump pump systems.

TripleSafe is the award winning sump pump system that comes with 2 main iron cast pumps as well as a backup Ultrasump pump which starts in cases such as an electrical outage.
