Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Mr. Moran over time noticed  that there was a high level of humidity in his house, his wooden floors began to warp and an unpleasant smell of mold was circulating in the house. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a permanent and reliable solution!

The problem

Well this is the crawl space!

- Water infiltration

- Lack of insulation

This made the crawl space very humid. The humidity affected the wooden floor causing it to curl slightly, causing this foul odor and affecting our client's comfort in their home.

The solution

- Insulate the walls of the crawl space with our SilverGlo insulating panels.

- Lay our drainage mat on the ground in order to drain the water from the surface to the SmartSump sump pump system that was in place.

- Install our CleanSpace coating designed to block humidity and thus insulate the floor of the house. It also gives a clean and bright appearance to the crawl space.

- Add our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. It filters the air and eliminates moisture.

With this encapsulation solution, Mr. Moran will no longer have a problem with humidity and foul odor. It now has a dry crawl space!

Our client from Lasalle informed us that she'd been having problems in her basement since the day she moved into the home. 

There were cracks in the Foundation that were allowing water to infiltrate the basement space, allowing too much moisture and mold in the basement.

We have solved her problems by installing a WaterGuard interior that will direct the water to the SuperSump pump system.

The SuperSump pump will intercept all water seepage and pushes it away from her house.

Then our CleanSpace was installed on the walls to insulate the ground and block water vapor.

Our team has picked the best solution to protect our client’s basement in Hemmingford and solved all water infiltration problems in the place by connecting our Waterguard System 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.

This place is now completely waterproofed!

At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, our specialists are well equipped at keeping water and moisture out of your home.

Our years of experience can help to assess your situation and offer you a solution that is guaranteed to remain water and moisture-free.

An example of our work is this house in Hemmingford; we have totally waterproofed the basement thanks to our products, starting from an interior drainage system called the ‘WaterGuard’ that will capture all the water from the walls or from the floors, then our TrispleSafe sump pump will do its job by pumping the water out, and finally our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is installed to eliminate muggy feeling caused by high humidity.

This crawl space in Hemmingford was not insulated and there was a lot of water leakage and humidity in the area, which was leading to rot and decay that, might eventually weaken structural members and make major architectural repairs necessary.

When we went to check this area, our specialist, therefore, recommended a complete solution to waterproof, isolate, and encapsulate the place.

As a start, we have installed a SmartDrain to collect run-off water at this location and evacuate to the sump pump.

Then we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace membrane which a vapor barrier and contains an antibacterial additive that prevents the proliferation of bacteria and molds.

And finally, we have installed our SaniDry Cx dehumidifier. This innovative system is small enough to fit into most crawl spaces, while its powerful blowing motor and efficient design allow it to effectively dry a basement.
