Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Hemmingford was not insulated and there was a lot of water leakage and humidity in the area, which was leading to rot and decay that, might eventually weaken structural members and make major architectural repairs necessary.

When we went to check this area, our specialist, therefore, recommended a complete solution to waterproof, isolate, and encapsulate the place.

As a start, we have installed a SmartDrain to collect run-off water at this location and evacuate to the sump pump.

Then we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace membrane which a vapor barrier and contains an antibacterial additive that prevents the proliferation of bacteria and molds.

And finally, we have installed our SaniDry Cx dehumidifier. This innovative system is small enough to fit into most crawl spaces, while its powerful blowing motor and efficient design allow it to effectively dry a basement.

A wet crawl space might be dangerous for the house, for it might affect the whole structure of the place.

Also, mud floors are filled with water and transmit water vapors filled with moisture, bacteria, and mold. As the air flows upwards, the air in the crawl space goes to the upper floors of your home, causing you to breathe infected air.

We have encapsulated and stabilized this crawl space in Hemmingford, by installing our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane. The CleanSpace membrane is composed of 7 layers of treated polyethylene in which an antibacterial additive is added. The membrane is finally treated with an ultra-violet additive in order to extend its resistance and its life span as long as possible. In addition, we installed our SmartJacks that are specially designed for crawl spaces. They support and stabilize your foundations and are adjustable to adapt to the movement of the ground.

Crawl space encapsulation allows this space to be healthier and more useful!

At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, our specialists are well equipped at keeping water and moisture out of your home.

Our years of experience can help to assess your situation and offer you a solution that is guaranteed to remain water and moisture-free.

An example of our work is this house in Hemmingford; we have totally waterproofed the basement thanks to our products, starting from an interior drainage system called the ‘WaterGuard’ that will capture all the water from the walls or from the floors, then our TrispleSafe sump pump will do its job by pumping the water out, and finally our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is installed to eliminate muggy feeling caused by high humidity.

Whatever is in your basement air is in your house and affecting you, whether you spend much time in the basement or not. If there is high humidity downstairs, there is higher humidity upstairs than there would be otherwise. 

If there is mold in the basement, there are mold spores upstairs. If there are damp odors downstairs, you get the idea!

Those are the reasons why waterproofing the basement is very important, for your health as well as the house’s state as well.

The interior drain ‘The WaterGuard’ system will capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor.

As for our Supersump pump system, it is considered one of the best pumps in the market; it has an airtight lid on it to prevent water from evaporating out of the sump hole into your basement, to stop stuff from falling in, that can clog the pump or switch, and to quiet the system.

We are pleased to have installed our Sump pump systems in Outremont city.

Sump pump system’s job is to get rid of all water before it gets into your basement and causes flooding and damage. All the water intercepted is evacuated far from the house.

The SuperSump pump is considered one of the finest sump pumps on the market; our Supersump pump includes a reliable pump, a ‘Water Watch’ alarm system and a patented super liner with an airtight lid. This pump has proven itself time and time again over the years.

Our SuperSump will smoothly and quietly pump 2220 gallons per hour at an 8-foot discharge head (43gpm). It resists clogging and can pump up to 12mm in solids.
