Effective drainage solution in Beaupre, Quebec

Challenge

In Beaupre, our client was facing a significant water infiltration problem in his basement, caused by a high water table and poor drainage around the foundation. Water frequently accumulated after heavy rains or snowmelt, creating excessive moisture, water stains on the concrete walls, and a persistent musty odor. This situation not only compromised the comfort and healthiness of the basement, but also the durability of the house's structure. The owner was looking for a durable, reliable, and effective solution to keep his basement dry at all times, even in the event of a power outage or extreme weather conditions.

Solution

To eliminate the risk of infiltration and protect the foundation, our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec installed a complete, high-performance sump pump system:

• SuperSump® sump pump: a robust, watertight main pump that efficiently collects and removes water from the basement.
• UltraSump® backup pump: battery-powered, it automatically takes over during a power outage to keep the basement dry.
• IceGuard® freeze protection system:allows water to drain even if the outdoor pipe freezes during the winter, preventing backflow.
• Outdoor discharge line : designed to effectively divert water away from the foundation and prevent future infiltration.

Thanks to this combination of products, the customer's basement is now completely waterproof, protected against moisture and water infiltration, and ready to withstand the harshest weather conditions in Quebec.
