Turning a wet basement into a waterproofed area in Chateauguay, Qc
Water coming from rain, storms, melting snow and pooling groundwater is a common cause of long-lasting wet basement problems.
Waterproofing your basement is very important and will save you lots of problems in the future!
In this job executed in Chateauguay, we have installed our Interior basement system’ the Waterguard’ that is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor; a SuperSump pump system that is one of the most efficient pumps in the market; and finally a CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through.
Solidify foundation walls in Sainte-Mélanie, Qc
The problem
The foundation walls of Mr. Milette's house cannot endure the pressure of the soil. Two foundation walls were slightly arched towards the interior of the basement with a long horizontal crack in the middle of the walls.
The solution
Support and strengthen the walls!
The solution for our client was the installation of 8 PowerBrace beams as well as the Carbon Armor reinforcement device. PowerBrace beams are a patented device designed to support foundation walls and provide potential straightening over time. It is a permanent and reliable solution. And then the CarbonArmor device was applied in order to reinforce the two cracked and slightly arched walls.
With this solution, Mr. Millette has foundation walls that will not budge.
Insulation and encapsulation of a crawl space in Saint-Lin-Laurentides
We insulated and encapsulated the crawl space in Saint-Lin-Laurentides which was having many problems such as heat loss and wasted energy, water and water vapor infiltrations, moisture, mold, bloom, and more. Then, we eliminated the risks and worries of this resident of Saint-Lin-Laurentides by installing our products SilverGlo and CleanSpace specially designed for crawl spaces.
Crawl space encapsulation in Laval, Qc
Our client had a humidity problem in his crawl space. It was so strong that even the joists of the house began to weaken. In order to solve the problem at source, we installed two insulation membranes for the crawl space.
A Drainage Matting to evacuate the water that evaporates from the ground to a sump pump specially designed for crawl spaces. Another membrane (CleanSpace) is placed in order to insulate the crawl space and prevent water vapor from spreading. This membrane reduces humidity in the crawl space and protects the house from mold increasing.
Thanks to Système Sous-sol Québec, our client now benefits from a protected house and a well-insulated crawl space.
Encapsulating a crawl space and supporting it with our SmartJAcks system in Laval, Qc
Ms. Méndez contacted us to repair her crawl space. We had to support its floor because it was sagging and to encapsulate the crawl space because there was moisture. We installed SmartJack galvanized steel beams to reinforce the floor structure. Then, in order to properly isolate the crawl space from the outside air, we covered the walls with insulating panels. Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier membrane to prevent moisture from rising to the upper floors. The remaining moisture will drain into the sump pump system that we installed.
