Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

PROBLEM

Our customer noticed a significant difference in his electricity bills; there appeared to be a major loss of heating. He contacted us and learned that this loss was from the uninsulated crawl space.

SOLUTION

The customer chose the SmartDrain combination, which protects the crawl space in case there was any flood, and is specially designed for crawl spaces.

 In addition the CleanSpace encapsulation was also installed to protect the area from moisture. The CleanSpace membrane is composed of several layers of plastic with different characteristics in terms of flexibility and resistance to punctures and tears.

The problem

Ms. Lauzé had problems with water infiltration in her basement that had entered through the joint between the footing and the foundation walls. This had created mold and completely damaged her floor.

The solution

Install a WaterGuard interior foundation drain all along the foundation walls. The WaterGuard sits directly on the footing and collects water from the joint and walls to direct it to the existing sump pump system. Once installed, it is covered with concrete, ready for the installation of the floor and the bottom of the drywall, services that Basement Systems can also offer Everlast and ThermalDry.

In the before photo, you can see water infiltration issues affecting the Saint-Hugues, QC basement, threatening damage to the home and its contents. The homeowner turned to us for an effective, quick solution. In the after photo, Notice our expertly installed SuperSump system standing firmly as the solution. Designed to keep basements dry, the SuperSump system employs a high-performance 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump, ensuring efficient water evacuation. This robust system not only resolves current issues but also offers peace of mind by protecting against future water damage.

Facing an old and bad sump pump in their basement, a homeowner in Sainte-Madeleine sought our assistance. During the free inspection, our specialist Jorge explained the bad consequences of having a malfunctioning sump pump. In fact, water will infiltrate the basement, deteriorate the quality of the air inside the house, and the excess humidity might cause structural problems on a long term. The suitable solution was to replace the old sump pump with our SuperSump system including a powerful Zoeller as well as and additional backup pump that will save the day in case of power outage. 

Client was satisfied with the overall experience, knowing that his basement will be safe even with extreme weather circumstances.

Our clients from Sorel-Tracy had water infiltration in the basement. After many research on the internet they found Basement Systems Quebec and contacted us for a free evaluation.
