Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

In this crawl space in Sainte Julienne, moisture, odors, and mold growth were already causing damage. We applied a comprehensive solution to clean up and protect the space for the long term.

We treated the surfaces with MoldX2, a product designed to eliminate mold and prevent its return. Next, we installed CleanSpace membrane, a durable vapor barrier that blocks moisture from the floor and walls. Under the membrane, drainage mats were laid to facilitate water drainage and prevent accumulation. A SmartDrain was also added to detect and drain any water infiltration. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona reduced ambient humidity, purified the air, and prevented odors and deterioration.

Thanks to this comprehensive system, MoldX2, CleanSpace, drainage, SmartDrain, and SaniDry Sedona, the crawl space is now clean, dry, better protected, and healthier for the entire home.

This Côte-Saint-Luc customer needed an assessment from our company for a mold-to-crawl problem. When you see traces of mold in the crawl space, this is a sign that you need to dehumidify the space efficiently and permanently. As the crawl space is a space built in a hole in the ground, the water pressurizes and infiltrates through the ground and pores of the concrete.

Our waterproofing solutions solve these problems at the source. The CleanSpace drainage mat and vapor barrier membrane are installed on the floor to prevent water vapor from escaping into the air. We install on the walls the SilverGlo insulation which is an insulation board composed of graphite particles and which is covered with a radiant barrier to preserve the heat inside. It is a product that saves you a lot of energy consumption. Finally, the SaniDry dehumidifier keeps the space at an optimal relative humidity level. It is a system that empties automatically through a water drain pipe.

If you have a vented crawl space, especially in a humid climate, it most likely has moisture problems.

Moisture might come from several sources, such as uncovered soil, foundation walls, foundation vents and more.

Encapsulating your crawl space with quality products engineered for this space is the best way to keep it dry and clean.

Sump pump systems will evacuate water before it seeps into the basement and causes flooding and damage. All the water intercepted is evacuated far from the house.

Our SuperSump pump system is a full-featured system that includes the best components available.

It has a superliner: the liner's airtight lid keeps out pests and debris, while also eliminating the safety hazard of an open sump pit. The WaterWatch alarm will ring when the water rises above the operating range of the pumps to warn you of a potential problem. 

In addition, it is equipped with a powerful, top-quality Zoeller sump pump.

There has recently been water infiltration in this basement in Montreal. Stone walls like these are very conducive to water infiltration because of the spaces between the stones. The owner did not have a very efficient drainage system so he contacted Système Sous-sol Québec to waterproof his basement so that it remains dry at all times!

Our solution to waterproof our client's basement:

- A WaterGuard interior drain system. This is a network of conduits that runs along the perimeter of your basement floor, at the base of the foundation walls. This system collects the water and conveys it to the SuperSump sump pump system that we have installed.

- Install our SuperSump sump pump system. It expels the water that comes from the soil and the WaterGuard out and away from the foundation.

To finish it off, our experts installed our panels for EverLast walls. They are designed to resist mold and cannot be damaged by moisture.

With this solution, our client will have nothing to worry about and his basement will be permanently dry.
