Waterproofing a cold room in a basement in Dorval, Qc

Mr. Dauphin has a cold room in his basement with concrete walls and floors. When there are heavy rains, water seeps into it. He's already had up to 1 inch of water in that room. Knowing that this could happen again, he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to fix the situation.

The solution for our client is to waterproof the cold room. For this, our experts installed our WaterGuard internal drain system on the footing of the foundation and connected it to our TripleSafe sump pump system. In this way, the water from the walls flows into the WaterGuard and then is directed into the sump pump system to be ejected outside. Then, in order to remove the humidity, they put a drainage membrane on the walls and our CleanSpace membrane on top. The CleanSpace provides a barrier against water vapor and makes the room brighter.

With this solution, Mr. Dauphin has a dry cold room at all times!
