Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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!

In Acton Vale, a residential basement was suffering from recurring problems with water infiltration, high humidity, and structural risks, a common scenario among our customers in the region, especially during heavy rains or snowmelt, leading to mold, odors, and foundation deterioration. To resolve this situation, the Systèmes Sous-sol Québec team installed a complete waterproofing system, including WaterGuard™ to drain interior water, TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to safely remove water even in the event of a power failure, and IceGuard™ to prevent freezing and protect the area around the house. Thanks to these solutions, the basement is now dry, protected, and durable, providing effective prevention against water infiltration and perfectly illustrating our expertise in basement waterproofing and flood protection throughout the province.

Caught in the damp clutches of excess moisture, this Waterloo basement was far from the safe, dry space the homeowner hoped for. Our team was quick to get the necessary renovations. By expertly installing our robust WaterGuard and SuperSump systems, we not only reclaimed this space from moisture's grip but also secured its dryness for the future. Glance at the after photo to see the remarkable transformation—a true testament to our mission of providing durable solutions and exceptional customer experiences.
