Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Problem

Ms. Mitchell had problems with water infiltration in her basement, in addition to having several foundation cracks through which water had seeped.

Solution

In order to solve the problems of water infiltration and humidity in our client's basement, we installed our WaterGuard interior foundation drain system throughout the foundation walls. Then, we installed a SuperSump sump pump system.

Our client Ms. Brault had just moved into her home and she had an inspection that has identified several cracks in the foundation. So she wanted to deal with it quickly, since she had frequent water infiltration and was afraid this would affect the value of her investment. The water had already created damage to the floor. There was also a lot of efflorescence at the base of the concrete walls.

So our team suggested to her exactly what she chose. They did a nearly 2 hour assessments, indoor and outdoor, to make sure was there was no other problems.

The products used included a SuperSump pump, attached to an IceGuard and LawnScape. This pump includes 1 electric pump, 1 alarm, 1 drain and can pump 2200 gallons per hour, quietly and efficiently. The Iceguard and LawnScape allow a safe exit from the water without damaging the terrain. The client can now enjoy a dry basement and maintain the value of her home.

We have converted this space in Saint-Eustache from an earthen place with moist air into a waterless, healthy and bright space that can be used for useful purposes.

By installing a complete waterproofing system, you can no longer witness any humidity and mold growing in that area nor into your house.

Our WaterGuard interior drain will direct the water to our company’s SuperSump pump system.

The SuperSump allows evacuating the water that infiltrates. It is clean, clear and nothing can fall into it.

And finally we insulated the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane.

The CleanSpace blocks water vapor from the walls and redirects water to the WaterGuard indoor drain installed directly below. Once installed, we cover the concrete drain and it will not appear anymore.

Water was seeping into this house in Sainte-Geneviève at the foot of the foundation.

The sump pump was installed in a sump hole that was not sealed. Dirt penetrated and moisture escaped.

Our client could not install an outdoor French drain because there was landscaping and a stone deck on the outside perimeter of the house where the water was seeping.

We have solved the problem and made the basement dry at all times, thanks to our complete waterproofing solution.

In order to remove the water effectively, we installed the TripleSafe system which provides triple protection. Then we installed our WaterGuard indoor drain system to prevent water infiltration from entering the living space of the basement.

Our ThermalDry system was then installed to create a thermal break and spaces to drain water while preventing water vapor from entering the basement.

Water was seeping into our client’s basement during freeze and thaw cycles.

The land now is sloping towards the wall. And in winter there are puddles caused by the thaw near the foundations.

We went to this place after scheduling a free inspection day and solved our customer’s problem.

As a start, we installed our WaterGuard Indoor Drainage System. The WaterGuard Internal Drain is installed at the joint between the wall and the footing of the foundation and is covered with concrete to blend into the decor.

Then our SuperSump pump system is connected to the WaterGuard. The SuperSump system is a sump pump liner that is unobtrusive and not bulky. You can put your things on it without being afraid that something will fall in it.

Once completed, we have installed the ThermalDry floor system which is an inorganic mat resistant to water and moisture.
