Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Problem

Water was still to seep into our client's basement, despite him redoing his french drain recently. During the free inspection, our specialist Jorge explained that the French drain, despite its popularity, can have certain limitations. It can get clogged due to the accumulation of soil inside. Besides, its maintenance is costly and time-consuming, which requires excavation.

Solution

- We installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system around the perimeter of the basement, on the foundation footing. The WaterGuard pipes have a 3/8-inch protruding flange to channel water from the walls directly into the system. Additionally, the WaterGuard system features a series of openings for easy access to the drains for cleaning, inspection, or repairs.

- We connected the drain to our revolutionary SuperSump sump pump, which, thanks to the Zoeller pump, can absorb up to approximately 14,500 liters of water per hour.

- We installed a discharge line with our IceGuard system to prevent any flooding in case of freezing of the discharge line.

Before, this Granby homeowner faced a common but frustrating issue: a cold, damp basement plagued with excess humidity. Notice in the before photo the signs of moisture along the walls, a problem many in our region can relate to. Fast forward - our team installed WaterGuard and SuperSump systems, revolutionizing the space into a dry, comfortable haven. In addition, our SilverGlo pannels installed on the wall serve as thermal insulation in order to keep a warm temparture. As you can see in the after photo, the transformation is remarkable. Our solutions not only solved their immediate concerns but also secured their basement against future water issues, ensuring a reliable and lasting fix to make their home feel whole again.

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.

Here, the problem was obvious from the very first rains: water seeping in at the base of the walls, a floor that was often damp, and a lingering odor throughout the basement. Over time, the moisture also began to leave visible marks, making the space unpleasant and difficult to use.

The solution was designed to manage water directly at the source. A WaterGuard system was installed along the foundation to intercept water before it spreads into the basement. The entire system is connected to a SuperSump sump pump, which ensures continuous and efficient drainage to the outside.

Today, the space is completely dry and much healthier. A reliable solution that prevents water accumulation, controls humidity, and protects the basement in the long term.
