Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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. 

This homeowner in Saint-Sylvere was dealing with water seepage in the basement, moisture buildup near the foundation walls, and an increased risk of flooding during heavy rains and snowmelt. To provide long-term protection for the foundation and keep the basement dry year-round, our team performed a complete basement waterproofing by installing the WaterGuard® interior drain, designed to capture water from the ground and around the foundation before it reaches the living space. We also installed a TripleSafe® sump pump system offering three levels of protection against water infiltration, even in the event of a power outage or heavy rainfall. To effectively manage surface water, a TrenchDrain® was added to vulnerable areas to collect and redirect water to the drainage system. Finally, a drain pipe equipped with the IceGuard® system was installed to allow for continuous water drainage even when the outdoor pipe freezes during the winter. Thanks to this combination of waterproofing, interior drainage, and flood protection solutions, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy basement that is protected against water issues in the long term.

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.

Our clients from Quebec City where having water infiltration problems in the basement of their residence. In addition to that, the high level of humidity in their basement was creating unpleasant odors.

After finding our company through the net, we sent one of our specialists to do a free inspection. On site, the owners were given a detailed offer on which they were advised to install: a CleanSpace Wall membrane, a WaterGuard interior foundation drain system, a Supersump sump pump system, and an Iceguard system.

Our Customers agreed on the solutions and the prices offered and they decided to bring the technicians from Basement Systems Quebec to proceed with the waterproofing of their basement.

The clients were very satisfied with the professionalism of our company’s team and they never had to face any water infiltration problem in their basement ever again.
