Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

When waterproofing your basement, your water heater can remain a threat. A preventative solution must be found to not have the problem of the water heater flooding and further damaging the basement.

Here's what to do to protect your place from leaking water from a water heater.

FloodRing is a product that is easily installed around the water heater. It is a 4-inch high ring sealed to the floor that will contain any leaking water and redirect it to the drain.

This product is not very expensive and easy to install when installing your indoor drain system. This is especially beneficial because the water heater must be changed often during the life of the house, and often when it starts to sink it can be time to change it.

In many cases, the damage has already been done... Preventing water damage is better than healing.

In Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, the owner's basement had significant moisture and insulation problems. Cold, damp air was coming through the concrete foundation walls, causing condensation, discomfort, and increased heating costs. The space was unusable due to odors and the risk of mold. After our intervention, we installed Foamax® insulation panels, a high-performance solution that seals walls against moisture, improves energy efficiency, and keeps the basement dry and comfortable year-round. Thanks to this transformation, the basement has become a healthy, better protected, and more valuable space.

Basements and floods sound like an unwelcome duo, but not in Saint-Flavien! Initially, our client faced daunting water infiltration challenges with heaps of soggy frustration visible in the 'before' snapshot. Enter Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, ready to redefine comfort. We installed a blend of our WaterGuard, SuperSump, and IceGuard systems, turning that petulant pool into a watertight basement dream. These smart solutions went to work beneath the surface, ejecting water woes and setting new dryness standards that laugh in the face of dime-store drainage systems. Witness the dramatic dry triangle victory in the 'after' photo. Bringing creativity to cavity solutions? Yes, we are.

A homeowner in Fortierville, Quebec was facing water infiltration in his basement due to hydrostatic pressure under his house pushing water through the joints. Our thorough inspection confirmed the issue. As a remedy, we installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture water before it reached the interior. The system was also connected to a SuperSump sump pump with a Zoeller pump and battery backup for optimal performance and reliability. Since the installation, the basement has remained completely dry, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind.

A client residing in Saint-Georges-De-Windsor, Quebec, was facing alarming issues within his basement. In fact, there were multiple cracks visible from the inside, as well as water infiltrations. Client had also an old sump pump which was clearly inadequate. In addition, the excess humidity has resulted in the joists being weakened, thus compromising the house's foundation. We combined our systems for basement waterproofing and foundation repair to tailor a perfect solution that will provide long term protection: Our patented WaterGuard internal drain was installed, linked to our SuperSump sump pump system. Next, we installed CleanSpace Wall to regulate the excess humidity. Lastly we installed our powerful galvanized steel PowerBrace beams to support the joists and thus to prevent any structural damage. Client was satisfied with this wonderful transformation in his basement, knowing he will have peace of mind as our system are protecting his house.
