Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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!

Our client, a homeowner in Saint-Fortunat, Quebec, was worried about the situation within his basement. Humidity was high and moisture smells were making things uncomfortable. Upon the visit of our specialist, he explained that the absence of a drainage system is resulting in water seeping inside the basement and thus increasing moisture. If things remained that way, mold will most probably grow, and we might face structural damages. As a solution, we installed our patented WaterGuard drainage system along the footing of the basement. The installation was quick and smooth, with minimal disturbance. In addition, and to maximize the good results, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barriers on the wall. This membrane will limit the moisture coming from the basement walls.

At our client's home in Inverness, the basement had a combination of problems including moisture, water infiltration, damp walls, wet floors, condensation, mold odors, stale air, and material degradation, affecting comfort, indoor air quality, and home performance. To eliminate these risks, we installed the WaterGuard® drainage system, designed to effectively intercept and channel infiltrated water, the SuperSump™ sump pump, a high-end system offering reliable, quiet, and durable drainage, and the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, known for its high-performance humidity control, allergen reduction, mold prevention, and overall air quality improvement. The result: a basement that is now dry, waterproof, clean, protected against infiltration, free from excessive moisture, odors, and mold, offering enhanced structural stability and a healthy and safe space for the home.
