Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Previously, this basement in St-Raymond suffered from persistent moisture, water infiltration, and constantly damp walls, conditions conducive to mold and deterioration of the house structure. To remedy these problems, we installed our SilverGlo™ wall insulation, which improves energy efficiency and protects against temperature fluctuations, added a vapor barrier to block moisture, and installed our WaterGuard® drainage system, which quickly drains water to prevent accumulation. Today, the basement is clean, dry, and healthy, providing a reliable, comfortable, and durable space while ensuring protection against moisture, mold, and structural damage.

To address persistent moisture issues in a basement located in Chesterville, Quebec our team implemented a tailored waterproofing solution: We installed our WaterGuard internal drainage system, a patented perimeter drainage channel engineered to intercept groundwater at the wall-floor joint and direct it efficiently toward a sump pump system or discharge lines. In addition, and to enhance the system’s performance and provide additional moisture protection, we installed the CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. This thick liner is designed to prevent humidity from passing through the foundation walls, while also improving the overall appearance of the basement with its clean, white finish. The installation was executed with minimal disruption. As a result, the basement is now fully protected against water infiltration and is in optimal condition for finishing.

Located in East Angus, QC, a homeowner contacted us due to persistent problems related to high humidity levels and unwanted water infiltration. You can see in the “before” photo the extent of the moisture and water affecting the basement. To remedy this problem, we installed our complete waterproofing solutions. The WaterGuard® system was strategically used to discreetly capture water infiltration and direct it straight to our robust TripleSafe™ sump pump. This system ensures effective removal of excess water, protecting the foundation and maintaining a dry environment. In addition, the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to regulate humidity levels, effectively preventing mold growth and musty odors, which improved the overall indoor air quality. The “after” photo illustrates the transformation, showing a basement that is not only dry but also ideal for a variety of uses. Our solutions work consistently to provide East Angus homeowners with peace of mind by protecting their property from water-related problems.

In Donnacona, QC, a homeowner faced a cold, damp room within their basement - a common recipe for discomfort and potential home issues. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the environment was far from ideal for any home. Jumping into action, our team introduced SilverGlo insulation panels, a leading-edge solution designed to tackle just these dilemmas. Notice in the 'after' photo how transformed the space is—warmer and remarkably drier. This transformation underscores our mission to deliver not just a fix, but a trustworthy, enduring resolution, upgrading our customer’s living experience right from their home’s foundation.

Mr. Dallaire has lived in his house since 2008. Over time, he noticed that the humidity level in his house was very high, a foul odor was present in the rooms of the house and there were traces of mold in some area of the place.He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, because he was no longer comfortable in his house and wanted to fix the situation quickly.

Mr. Dallaire had never been in his crawl space since he bought the house and yet it was the cause of all his problems.

Our experts went to the site to isolate the crawl space.

1. They first installed SilverGlo insulation panels on the crawl space walls.

2. Next they installed 3/4 inch TerraBlock insulation sheets. These sheets are installed on the ground and adjust according to the ground and will  insulate the crawl space. SilverGlo Panels and Terrablock Sheets combined together are the ideal option for achieving the best possible energy efficiency. You will keep the cold outside and the heat inside your crawl space!

3. To finalize the whole thing, they put our CleanSpace membrane to cover and protect the Terrablock and thus provide an isolated and dry environment.

With this solution, the customer was able to notice very quickly that the humidity in his house had decreased considerably and the unpleasant smell was gone. Not to mention that he now had a clean, dry crawl space!
