Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

When you suffer from water infiltration in your basement, always check whether your sump pump is working efficiently.

This is what we advised our client who had contacted us asking for our advice!

The TripleSafe sump pump, such as the one installed in our client’s basement in Trois-Rives, is designed to protect you from any problems that might occur with standard sump pumps.  As well as an alarm to alert your attention to any problems, it also uses a specially designed Ultra Sump battery (not an automobile or marine battery) and another pump to backup the primary pump. This ensures the TripleSafe sump pump continues to work even in case of a power failure or pump malfunction.

Faced with persistent humidity and dampness in their Bromont basement, this homeowner dealt with ongoing water infiltration issues, affecting the space's utility and safety. The before photo clearly illustrates the extent of the moisture accumulation on the walls. To tackle this challenge, we implemented our specialized WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, complemented by the powerful TripleSafe Sump Pump System and the reliable IceGuard discharge line. This layered, all-encompassing approach successfully directs unwelcome water away, safeguarding the structure as shown in the after photo. The basement is now perfectly equipped to remain dry throughout the year, increasing the home's long-term usability and structural integrity.

Before diving into the depths of this Shawinigan, QC home's crawl space, notice in the before photo how exposed and chilly it appears. The homeowner reached out to us, worried about the cold affecting their floors and overall home comfort. Our solution? A wonderful trio of our best products. As you can see in the after photo, we transformed that frosty, forgotten space into a clean, insulated haven with CleanSpace vapor barrier, SilverGlo insulation, and supported the structure with robust SmartJack supports. Now, the once cold crawl space is a pillar of warmth and stability, showcasing our mission to not only solve our customer's problems but also offer them a remarkable and lasting solution.

In Shawinigan, one homeowner had been living with the constant challenges of a damp and uncomfortable basement. Over time, excess humidity had led to mold growth and unpleasant odors, while small cracks in the foundation walls began allowing water to seep in during heavy rains. The space felt cold, clammy, and unsafe,  far from the clean usable area the homeowner wanted it to be.

To bring the basement back to life, our team designed a complete waterproofing and stabilization plan. We installed the WaterGuard drainage system, which efficiently channels water away from the home to keep the area consistently dry. To improve insulation and moisture control, we applied SilverGlo wall panels, helping maintain a healthier environment and better energy efficiency. Finally, the PowerBrace system was added to reinforce the foundation walls, ensuring long-term structural stability.

With these upgrades, the basement was completely transformed into a clean, dry, and solid space and the homeowner can now use it with confidence for years to come.

We once received the following customer request: "I want to have an inspection of my basement, because I have a problem of water infiltration and an external drain is not a possibility for us". No problem, interior drains are our specialty! So we sent our basement waterproofing expert Andrew to do a complete assessment of this damaged basement and to recommend the most effective solution for dealing with this problem from the inside.

Then we sent a crew to start the installations. They started by sealing a crack with FlexiSpan. Next, they installed a 143-foot perimeter of WaterGuard interior drain and then added a CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane to the walls. Finally, to dehumidify and purify the air, we installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier!
