Transformed Basement: Complete Waterproofing in Saint-Ludger, Quebec
At the beginning, the basement showed clear signs of water-related deterioration: constant humidity, water infiltration at the base of the foundation walls, condensation, persistent odors, and visible water marks on the concrete. The space had no groundwater management system, which led to moisture accumulation and accelerated surface deterioration as well as a decline in indoor air quality.
To address the issue, a complete waterproofing intervention was carried out with the installation of a WaterGuard interior drainage system designed to capture water at the base of the walls and efficiently redirect it to a collection point. A SuperSump sump pump was also integrated to ensure continuous removal of groundwater, significantly reducing the risk of water buildup. The system was completed with a CleanSpace encapsulation, acting as a barrier against water vapor, humidity, and lateral moisture intrusion.
In the end, the basement was fully restored in terms of water management and foundation protection, now providing a much more stable, controlled environment ready for use without the constraints of chronic moisture issues.
