Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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!

When water seeps into a stairwell and you already have a sump pump system in another basement room that is draining water, we can help you fix the problem with an interior waterproofing system.

Our solution: install an internal foundation drain that catches water from the ground under the stairs and on the walls of the staircase and discharges it through a pipe connected to the sump pump a little further.

It is an effective and discreet solution and once the drain is covered, you will not even see it anymore.

Here is a photo during the inspection that contains the annotations of the basement waterproofing specialist and a photo of the result once the system is installed. Once the concrete has dried, you do not notice any difference other than the fact that your basement will be dry!

It's never a good thing to have a crack that serves as a gateway to the water in your basement. This is why you must seal this crack permanently and waterproof the basement. We installed the following products: CleanSpace Membrane, CleanSpace Drain Mat, CleanSpace Wall, WaterGuard Internal Drain, SuperSump Sump Pump, IceGuard Discharge Hose, and LawnScape Discharge Hose.

In Laval, QC, a homeowner faced a daunting challenge—a big crack in their basement allowing water inside, as seen in the 'before' photo. We stepped in to transform their anxiety into assurance.

Our client wanted to protect his basement against water infiltration. After doing some research on the internet, he chose to do business with Système Sous-sol Québec.

Our specialist went to his home and offered him a WaterGuard interior drain system. We install it indoors, because it will be located far away from mud sediment. These sediments always end up clogging the external French drains.

This drainage system dumps the collected water into a system of sump pumps. It has three pumps, one of which is battery operated.

Thanks to these top solutions, our client benefits from a basement protected against water infiltration.
