Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water infiltration is a problem for many homeowners. Water can drive up under the foundation at the joints between the floor and the wall or through cracks in the walls as well. These situations are often due to a high water table, hydrostatic pressure, and the normal shrinkage of concrete.

This is what happened in this basement in Lasalle, and when we went to check up the area Mr. Neil informed us that it had been this way for years and he tried to fix it many times but it was all in vain.

We informed Mr. Neil then that the best thing to do is to waterproof the entire basement.

The waterproofing consists of the following:

An interior Drain called ‘The WaterGuard’ to capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor; a ‘TripleSafe’ sump pump to pump the water out, and finally an ‘IceGuard’ accessory that prevents pipe freezing.

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!
