Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Cellars areas are sometimes used by the owners to store several objects and products as is the case of our client in Sainte-Adèle. This family contacted us to isolate their cellar area because infiltration of water and moisture threatened their property. To stop their worries, we recommended insulating the stone walls with our Foamax wall insulation that holds the heat inside. Then we insulated the floor with TerraBlock which is a product specially designed for crawl space floors. We also installed our CleanSpace Drain Mat and Vapor Barrier and SuperSump Sump Pump System to evacuate all intercepted water away from home.

Problem

Water infiltration under the concrete slab in the basement.

 Mr. Francoeur wants to prevent future damage related to water infiltration and humidity.

Solution

Installation of a WaterGuard interior foundation drain and a SuperSump sump pump system.

Problem: Our client who lives in the city of Sainte-Adèle had an odor and humidity problem in her crawl space. Being uninsulated and having high humidity level created the odor. One day our client decided to call us to change this situation and we went to this lady's residence to assess what could be done.

Solution: Our certified specialist installed our CleanSpace membrane made for crawl spaces all over it. Also, below it, there is a drainage membrane, which redirects water to our SmartSump pump, which draws water out of your home. Moreover, we have installed a product called the SilverGlow, in order to isolate the crawl space.

So to sum it up you will have protection, with a membrane that directs water to the pump located under the CleanSpace, which sends water to the pump and you will have thermal insulation that insulates the crawl space in a very efficient way.

After our intervention, this client never felt an odor and now can enjoy her dry crawl space.

If you're buying a home, it's important to have your home inspector check out the crawl space before you finalize the sale.

Our client has bought his house in Saint-Colomban several years ago, and started having sagging floors in his house and knew that he needed to find specialists to solve this situation.

After finding our company, we sent our team to inspect the area and so we suggested a full encapsulation of the crawl space.

We installed our Drainage Mat to redirect the water to one of our best sump pump systems known as ‘The SuperSump’ pump system. The SuperSump pump is one of the best pumps in the market with more than 100 holes to drain the water under the slab.

Then we installed our CleanSpace waterproofing membrane to prevent the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air.

And finally, and in order to stabilize the floors in the house, we installed 2 SmartJacks supports. The SmartJack is a support beam designed by engineers that adjusts to the exact height between the solid base and the support beam at the top.

Our customer from Saint-Colomban was so happy that we have turned his basement from a damp area into a livable place that his entire family can use as a living space and as a storage place as well.

We have used one of the best waterproofing products available in the market:

We started by installing our interior drain system: ‘The WaterGuard’. This interior drain will direct all the water seeping into the sump pump.

And since damp basement conditions can easily ruin certain flooring materials –like plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) and carpeting installed directly over a basement slab floor, we have installed basement flooring that couldn’t ever be damaged by mold or moisture’ The ThermalDry floor tiles’.
