Encapsulation of a crawl space with CleanSpace in Lachine, Qc
The problem: This Lachine client’s problem was that she had no protection and the humidity level in her crawl space was very high.
The solution: We installed a membrane called CleanSpace which acts as a vapor barrier and below it we installed a drainage membrane so that it redirects the water to the drain.
Sump pump installed in Saint-Rémi, QC
Before tackling their damp and dingy basement in Saint-Rémi, QC, the homeowner knew it was time for a change. They turned to us, craving a complete sump pump system that could guarantee a dry basement year-round. They were beginning with a wet, troublesome space. But with the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump, showcased in the after photo, their basement transformed. Today, they enjoy a permanently dry and comfortable space, all thanks to a solution as effective as it is reliable.
Changing of a sump pump in Sainte-Julienne, Qc
Having an open sump is one of the problems that will cause a high level of humidity in a basement.
This sump in Sainte-Julienne was not doing its job since at each great rain the water ended above the slab of this basement.
We have replaced this old pump with our TripleSafe pump and this basement is now completely waterproofed!
This pump has a hermetically closed system (no moisture that emerges), which installs with a floor drain and an alarm system.
Waterproofing a crawlspace in Sainte-Julienne, Quebec
Ms. Pépin discovered an important humidity problem in her crawlspace at her Saint-Julienne house, when she got it inspected after putting it up for sale. Her sump pump system turned out to be unreliable and caused a lot of water infiltration as well.
She contacted Systèmes Sous-sol to find a solution to her sump pump problem.
To solve Ms. Pépin's humidity and water problems, our team of basement experts installed a new SmartSump sump pump system featuring a ⅓ HP Zoeller cast iron main pump capable of pumping 9,465 liters of water per hour at a height of 5 feet.
In order to waterproof her crawlspace better, our team installed as well an EZ flow crawlspace drain after digging a trench all along her foundation walls. This drain similar to a French Drain installed on the inside of a crawlspace, captures the water that could accumulate or infiltrate away from the sump pump and then directs that water to the SmartSump sump pump when the water cannot flow by itself to the pump.
Finally, our team installed our CleanSpace membrane which insulates the house from the earth and blocks out moisture. Cleanspace also gives a clear and clean appearance to the crawl space.
Crawlspace encapsulation in Sainte-Julienne, QC
After a building inspector did a full house inspection on Ms. Pépin Sainte-Julienne property, he discovered an important humidity problem in her crawlspace. Since she wanted to sell her house, this could have prevented the sale from happening. Her sump pump was not reliable and the 6 mil membrane installed in her crawlspace was in a very bad shape.
She contacted Systèmes Sous-sol to find a solution to her humidity problem.
To solve our client's humidity and water infiltration problems, our team of basement experts installed a new SmartSump sump pump system, an EZ flow crawlspace drain along the foundation walls and covered the whole crawlspace with our CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation membrane.
This helped prevent water infiltration and cut off the crawlspace and house completely from the earth's humidity.
Ms. Pépin now enjoys a dry crawlspace and can sell her house without any issues.
