Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Problem

Our client in Delson, QC, had persistent water infiltrations within their basement, despite the presence of a sump pump. Following a detailed and free inspection, our specialist Patrick noticed that the existing drainage system faced major issues. Firstly, the discharge lines were obstructed by the soil. Secondly, the pump was constantly functional, indicating its inadequacy in dealing with the infiltrated water.

Solution

Our team installed the WaterGuard interior drain system along the perimeter of the basement. This patented system is designed to prevent clogging. Moreover, it is straightforward and quick to install, unlike French drains that require excavation.

Next, we implemented the SuperSump sump pump system, including two distinct pumps. These pumps will evacuate any infiltrated water, even during a power outage, as the second pump operates on battery power. Finally, we installed a new discharge line, connected to the pump, to direct the water outside.

Our clients in Gatineau were suffering from water infiltration problems in their home's basement which caused humidity in the area and has also lead to severe coldness in the basement that has reached the whole house as well.

As you can see in the first picture, the water has penetrated the floors and structural paint damages have occurred on the walls.

Furthermore, our professionals have installed a WaterGuard system, our SuperSump sump pump, as well as our SaniDry and IceGuard systems and finished it with the EverLast wall restoration systems.

Our clients are now very happy since they did not face any humidity problems again and can enjoy their new warm, dry and beautiful basement.

Problem

Ms. Forster recently purchased a property with a few crawl space issues:

• Damp, moldy smell in the house

• High level of humidity in the house

• Cold main floor during winter

Solution

• Encapsulation of the crawl space with our drainage membrane and CleanSpace coating

• Wall insulation with our SilverGlo panels

This is another crawl space that was suffering from water infiltration.

When water had invaded the place, it had affected badly on the floors in too many areas, causing it to sag. 

We have solved this crawl space problems by installing a drainage membrane on the floor to help water find its way to the drainage system. Then, we covered the floor with a CleanSpace membrane, which mainly serves to prevent water vapor from leaving the floor and rising to the upper floors. Next, we installed SmartJack systems, which are galvanized steel beams used to support the sagging floor. Finally,we had installed SmartDrain drainage systems, which are used to get rid of infiltrating water.

Now that our work is done, the place is completely encapsulated!

Mr. Alex S and his wife owned a house in Gatineau and they were having severe water infiltration problems in their basement every year during spring time, due to the failure of the usual French drain and their old sump pump system.

After contacting many companies that failed to fix their problem, our customers decided to call our company for a free inspection. Following that call, our team estimated their basement and had the perfect solution to solve their problem.

Our professionals suggested the installation of a WaterGuard interior foundation drain and a TripleSafe sump pump. You can see the difference between the existing pump and the one we installed in the picture above.

Now the homeowners are very happy and relaxed since they did not face anymore leaking problems in their basement again.
