Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Ms. Lauzon had a problem with water infiltration in a room in her basement. Wall efflorescence means that there is water and moisture seeping into the walls and this causes a white powdery substance (mineral salts) to appear on the concrete walls. .

The solution

Install a sump pump system as well as a WaterGuard interior drain. First, a hole was dug to install our SuperSump sump pump system. It features a powerful ⅓ HP Zoeller cast iron sump pump capable of pumping 8,300 gallons of water per hour out of your basement to a height of 8 feet. Then a trench is dug all along the foundation walls to reach the foundation footing and the WaterGuard is laid in it. It collects water from the walls and the floor.

With this solution, Ms. Lauzon now has a permanently dry basement.

Problem:

Ms. Léger's house is cracked in several places:

- Cracks at the corners of the interior door frames

- Cracks in the foundation

- 1 '' wide horizontal crack on exterior brick wall

- Nearly 2 '' wide vertical crack on the corner of an exterior foundation wall.

- Floor of the second floor is no longer level

The cause of these problems is the sagging foundation of the house. When the foundation sags, cracks on the foundation and walls are created, it can also have a detachment of part of the foundation from the rest of the house.

The solution

Install PushPiers hydraulic pillars under the footing of the house. They can straighten the house slightly, and the weight of the house is supported solidly. Then, some cracks in the foundation were sealed using our FlexiSpan solution. It is a high viscosity polyurethane polymer. The sealant penetrates deeply into the crack to form a flexible and durable seal. CarbonArmor strips were laid on the corner of an exterior foundation wall to reinforce it as it began to pull away from the house. Finally, in order to straighten the main floor and support it, our SmartJack beams were laid.

With these solutions, Mrs. Léger has nothing more to fear as the foundation of her house is supported solidly and the cracks are sealed.

Our client wanted to protect his basement from water infiltration.

To do this, our specialist recommended the installation of a TripleSafe sump pump system with a WaterGuard drain. This combination helps to evacuate the water that can infiltrate in an effective way. In order to give a finished look to the basement wall, we installed BrightWall walls. They protect the Basement and give it a finished look.

Thanks to these solutions, our client's basement is protected against infiltration.

By installing a drainage system around the inside of the basement along the wall, you can capture water at the most common point of entry-the floor/ wall joint.

You can also capture water from the walls and prevent the center of the floor from leaking by intercepting the water at the perimeter of the floor before it gets to the center.

We applied this system in our client’s basement in Outremont and waterproofed the whole area.
