Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement in Saint-Constant was dealing with serious flooding problems . Water was seeping especially during every thaw season, and cracks had started to increase in its foundation wall.

We have solved this basement problems after being contacted by our client.

After her approval, our team installed a WaterGuard interior drain system. It is a drainage system that is placed under the floor slab on the perimeter of the foundation. Then, in order to direct the water from the cracks to the WaterGuard, our team encapsulated part of the walls with our CleanSpace membrane. At last we installed a SuperSump sump pump system to pump water out of the house. Eventually, our plumber connected the drains to the city sewers.

Our client had previously installed only a partial WaterGuard system because he had water seepage from only one side. Over time, new leaks had appeared and it was necessary to run the rest of the perimeter of the basement with the WaterGuard system.

Our specialist therefore proceeded to install the rest of the WaterGuard in order to provide optimal protection against water infiltration.

Thanks to our intervention, our client benefits from a basement protected against any type of water infiltration.

Our company’s sump pump systems have the following features: a good cast iron pump, a tight-fitting lid to keep the moisture from entering the basement, an alarm system that sounds when the water level is close to the overflow point, a floor drain in case a plumbing leak occurs, and finally a booster pump system which operates on a direct current battery.

Our customer a resident of Montreal bought his house several years ago and everything seemed great   until his basement had problems of water infiltration and constant humidity. The owner had every intention of finishing the basement in order to benefit from all the space, but it was impossible with a basement that is not dry.

Our specialist recommended a complete drainage system to protect her entire basement, all the time!

The floor of Mr. Hudson's house had been sagging for a long time. It was no longer straight and our client was having too much difficulty closing the doors and windows. There was high humidity in the crawl space.

Solution

Reinforce the structure of the house with our galvanized steel SmartJack pillars. Insulate and encapsulate the crawl space to reduce humidity and make it a storage space. The space will be drier and the air healthier.
