Everything you need to know about basement waterproofing!

Moisture, water infiltration and flooding are the worst enemies of basements. But there is an effective solution to protect your home from these problems. In this text, we present our complete basement waterproofing solution, which is both effective and reliable.

It includes an interior French drain like WaterGuard, designed to prevent blockage, a top-of-the-range sump pump like TripleSafe or SuperSump, and finally the discharge line including an IceGuard, which offers essential protection against water backflow caused by freezing of the discharge line.

This integrated system will help prevent water damage and keep your home safe.

Why should you waterproof your basement?

An unprotected basement can quickly become a real nightmare. Here's what you can expect:

• Water infiltration through walls or slab
• Appearance of mold and unpleasant odors
• Damage to foundations or finishing materials
• Damage to electrical appliances or stored goods
• Substantial renovation costs following water damage

Solution?

To avoid these problems, there's a complete solution. Here's how our integrated system works at every stage to give you total peace of mind:

1- Installation of WaterGuard Interior French Drain: Unobstructed interior drainage:

•  Installed inside the perimeter of the basement, at the foot of the walls.
• Captures water before it enters the room.
• Unlike traditional exterior drains, it is protected against obstruction by soil or roots.
• Easy to inspect and maintain, without digging into the house.

2- Installation of TripleSafe or SuperSump sump pumps:

• SuperSump: High-performance pump, ideal for residential homes. Its hermetically sealed cover prevents debris, odors and moisture from rising.
• TripleSafe: Three-pump system, including a battery-powered back-up pump. It operates even in the event of a power failure or pump malfunction and includes a built-in alarm to warn if the water level is too high.

3- IceGuard frost protection:

• The IceGuard system evacuates water in the event of freezing. 
• If the discharge line is blocked by frost, water automatically flows out through the holes provided.

A damp or flooded basement isn't just a problem, it's a real risk to the structure of your home, your health and your possessions. Rather than waiting for the first signs of damage, it's better to take preventive action with a proven waterproofing system.

With our integrated solution, you benefit from complete protection, designed to last and adapt to all conditions.
