A Renovated and Insulated Basement in Saint-Felix-De-Kingsey, Quebec

Water infiltration, cracked or leaning foundation walls, excessive moisture, and cold basements are common problems that can compromise a property’s comfort and value. For this home in Saint-Felix-De-Kingsey, our team carried out a comprehensive project to provide a lasting solution to these issues.

First, we installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system, designed to capture water from around the foundation before it reaches the basement floor. The water is then efficiently drained away by the SuperSump® sump pump system, while the IceGuard® pipe ensures continuous drainage even when winter temperatures cause the exterior outlet to freeze.

To improve basement comfort and minimize heat loss, the walls were insulated with Foamax® panels. Made of high-performance polyisocyanurate foam, they reduce condensation, resist moisture thanks to their built-in vapor barrier, and provide a clean, bright finish. In addition, any moisture seeping in through the walls is discreetly channeled behind the panels to the drainage system, helping to keep the basement dry at all times.

The foundation walls were also reinforced using the PowerBrace™ system. This solution strengthens walls affected by soil pressure, stops them from shifting, and, in many cases, allows for gradual straightening over time.

Thanks to this work carried out in Saint-Felix-De-Kingsey, homeowners now have a basement that is better protected against water infiltration, moisture, foundation cracks, leaning walls, mold risks, and energy loss, while enjoying a more comfortable, healthier, and sustainable living space.
