Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Due to his house located near the lake in Quebec City, our client’s basement was left exposed to floods and water has been penetrating his basement causing severe humidity problems and molds all over the walls.

Furthermore, our professionals have opted for WaterGuard drainage system which is the ideal choice for waterproofing and designed to sit on top of the footing, so that it will never clog, unlike the usual French drain system that might catch all the dirt from the floor.

The client had water infiltration problems around his basement, accentuated by the water seaping in around the chimney, due to the hydrostatic water pressure under his slab.

This type of problem cannot be resolved by an outside french drain system. We used our WaterGuard to collect any water seaping around the chimney as well as at the foundation wall joints, and drain this water to an installed TripleSafe sump pump, the best sump pump in Quebec.

Once the Waterguard was installed in the basement, a layer of cement was layed over and smoothed out.
 

Recently in Québec City, a homeowner was dealing with the stress of water infiltration in their basement. During the inspection, our specialist noticed the excess humidity within the basement. He explained that this situation could lead to serious structural problems. Our team quickly jumped into action, installing our WaterGuard system and SuperSump Pump. As shown in the after photo, these state-of-the-art solutions restored peace of mind, tackling the issue head-on and ensuring a dry, comfortable space. Our commitment to providing a seamless customer experience transformed a once damp basement into a secure, truly remarkable home environment.

In the city of St-Jacques-De-Leeds, this basement was severely affected by dampness, water infiltration, mold growth and foundation deterioration. To solve these waterproofing problems, we installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system, which effectively captures water before it enters the basement. To reinforce insulation and create a barrier against cold, damp air, we installed our SilverGlo insulation panels, well-known for their thermal performance. The result is a dry, well-insulated, energy-efficient basement that's suitable for moving into. 

Problem

Damp basement, wet floor with water infiltration during the spring thaw and during heavy rains. The client does not have a sump system.

Solution

Install a drainage perimeter with our WaterGuard interior French drain and then a SuperSump sump pump system. The WaterGuard intercepts the infiltration of water and routes it into the sump, which will push the water outside the house and away from the foundation. This solution will help against water infiltration and will reduce humidity in the basement. We also recommend the installation of our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.
