Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Faced with the challenge of excess moisture in their basement, a homeowner in Montreal, QC turned to us for help. Notice in the before picture the clear signs of moisture issues that plagued their basement. Our team provided a transformation by installing a WaterGuard drainage system, a SuperSump sump pump, and CleanSpace wall membrane. The after photo shows a dry, clean, and revitalized space. We're proud to have delivered a durable solution, and an exceptional experience for this homeowner.

Like most basements, this one had water intrusions at the entrances. The owner contacted us to find out what we could do to resolve this problem. Our waterproofing system is installed above the footing, under the concrete. It thus captures all the water that rises from the ground before it reaches the surface and directs it to the water pump that we have installed at the lowest point. In order to prevent moisture from escaping into the house, we also installed a vapor barrier membrane on the walls.

Problem

Mr. Boerr's building sank into the ground. Several external and internal signs were apparent including cracks on the corners of the doors and windows, in addition to  cracks on the stairs.

Solution

Pile up the building. Our team installed the push piers under the footing to stabilize it and prevent any future subsidence.

Without helical fins, Push Piers can be driven to greater depths without bending, providing support for heavier structures.

Our customer in Montreal contacted our company after having many failures in his existing pump system.

Our team has replaced it with the SuperSump sump pump system which is one of the best sump pump systems that come with an alarm system, a waterproof drain and a Zoeller pump.

Many homeowners in Saint-Constant suffer from Foundation cracks in their houses. Patching repairs are not always the best solution.

We opted to install SmartJack poles in order to stabilize the floors, and a vapor barrier to drain the water to the inner drain and have a permanent solution.

ThermalDry waterproofing membrane does not only stop humidity from dissipating into the basement but also could lead any water infiltration down to the WaterGuard. ThermalDry also reflects the heat back into the basement.
