Waterproofing of a wet basement in Knowlton, Qc

This Knowlton client has a basement that is half an unfinished basement and half a crawl space. One of these two parts is an extension which was added after the construction of the house. When our client contacted us, she told us that water was seeping at the joint of the two parts between the space where there is a floor and where there is none.

In order to resolve the problem, we sent our specialist Peter to perform a complete inspection of the basement and crawl space to assess the problem and recommend the best solution that will solve the problem.

So we installed the WaterGuard interior drain system where the foundation was affected by water infiltration. Thus, the water which infiltrates at the junction of the two parts of the basement is intercepted and evacuated before it harms the space. Subsequently, the SuperSump sump pump system is installed in the ground in order to evacuate the water collected by the drain and the water present in the soil which seeks to leave.

Finally, the CleanSpace membrane, which is an ultra-resistant vapor barrier, is installed where water moistens the walls. When the foundation is built using concrete blocks, water infiltrates through the joints between the blocks and the water vapors pass through the pores, which humidifies the space.
