Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Our client’s old sump pump had an open lid, was not powerful and failed to pump out large amount of water during thaw days.

Those are the reasons why Mrs. Valerie from La Prairie called us, and needed to learn more about our waterproofing systems. So our team recommended her to replace her pump with a new sump pump system and to install our WaterGuard interior drain.

Our SuperSump pump system evacuates water intercepted away from home and includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.

When you are having problems with water leakage in your basement, do not hesitate to contact experts to help you find a permanent solution ASAP!

A wet basement would not only ruin the place, and the belongings displayed inside, but it will also affect the health of the people who live in the upper house.

The air will become moldy, humid and very cold, and it will spread into the bottom ‘your home’.

This waterproofing job was done by Systèmes Sous-sol Québec’s team in Sainte-Anne-Des-Plaines.

We have waterproofed the entire basement permanently thanks to our products: The ‘WaterGuard’ interior drain to capture all water coming from the walls and joints; A SuperSump pump which is linked to our interior drain, and is able to pump a huge amount of water per hour, it has also an airtight lid on it to prevent water from evaporating out of the sump hole, and a IceGuard outlet to prevent freezing of water coming out from the pipes during winter time.

We have picked the best solution to protect our client’s basement in Chénéville, Qc  and solved all water infiltration problems in the place by connecting our interior drainage system ‘the Waterguard’ that is installed at the base of the foundation, with our company’s SuperSump that has more than 100 holes to drain the water under the slab.

And finished our work by installing our SilverGlo wall panels, that insulate the basement and improve the comfort and energy efficiency of any home.

This place is now completely waterproofed!

Mr. Serge who lives in Saint-Basile-le-Grand was having some water infiltration in his basement and called us directly to solve this issue!

Once our team completed their assessment, they found that there was a real need to add a WaterGuard drainage system to the majority of the perimeter, including in front of the exterior basement door. This place was one of the sources of water entry according to the client. The team also went with a TrenchDrain and a Drainage Matting. The TrenchDrain is able to collect surface water in front of doors and down stairs among others. Drainage Matting helps direct water to the WaterGuard.

Mr. Serge and his family can now be reassured that they are protected if another water infiltration occurs.

Problem

Following a snowstorm, our client from Lery, QC contacted us after his basement had experienced a terrible flooding. Our specialist, Roxane, conducted a free inspection and estimation. While examining the basement, Roxane noticed that the infiltrated water was not being evacuated outside properly thus causing the flooding after the storm. The proposed solution was to install a complete drainage and evacuation system, equipped with a sump pump.

Solution

Upon receiving approval from our client, our team of workers began the work. They installed our WaterGuard internal drainage system. This system functions similarly to the French drain, but its installation is simpler, faster, and more cost-effective since there is no need for exterior excavation. Several add-ins were included in this system:

- The WaterGuard inspection port: Allows for quick inspection of the drain at any time.

- Our excellent TripleSafe sump pump system: Includes two alternating current pumps and a third battery-powered backup pump for use in case of power outage.

- The patented IceGuard system connected to the discharge pipe, which prevents flooding in case of freezing of the pipe.

- The LawnScape outlet at the end of the discharge pipe with a removable cover for easy cleaning.
