Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Frampton, a homeowner was facing a frustrating but common problem, constant humidity and water seeping into their basement. Left untreated, this type of moisture can lead to foundation cracks, mold growth, and damage to valuable living space.

To put an end to these recurring issues, our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the basement’s perimeter. This system efficiently redirects any incoming water toward our TripleSafe™ sump pump, which provides reliable protection even during heavy rainfall or power outages.

For added security during Quebec’s harsh winters, we also included our IceGuard® discharge line, designed to prevent water backup if pipes freeze outside.

Now, this Frampton basement stays dry, healthy, and worry-free all year round. At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we provide lasting solutions for basement waterproofing, foundation protection, and humidity control, so homeowners can enjoy their space with complete peace of mind.

PROBLEM

Our living in Lac-Drolet, was looking to install an exterior French drain to put an end for the persistent moisture problem. After filling out the form on our website, our specialist Nickolas visited our client for a free inspection. Nickolas presented in details a waterproofing solution, including our WaterGuard interior drainage system and our TripleSafe sump pump system. The drainage system proved to be perfectly effective. Additionally, the installation is quick compared to that of the French drain, preserving the landscape around the house as there will be no excavation.

SOLUTION 

After receiving approval from our client, we began the work under the supervision of Jawad. As planned, we started by installing the revolutionary WaterGuard drainage system. The drain is placed on the foundation footing, away from mud and dirt to prevent clogging. The infiltrated water will be directly captured by the drain, thanks to the ⅜-inch protruding lip that channels water from the walls directly into the system.

Next, we installed our excellent TripleSafe sump pump system. This system consists of three pumps: The first reliable and efficient 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, the second 1/2 HP Zoeller pump which operates when the first pump needs assistance, and the third backup pump that activates in case of a power outage.

Then, we installed a drainage matting on part of the floor, as the existing floor slab was thin and at risk of causing a moisture problem. Additionally, we installed the CleanSpace Wall membrane on the walls to prevent water vapor from seeping into the basement.

Finally, we connected our interior drain to a discharge line that will lead the water outside. This discharge line includes our patented IceGuard system, designed to eliminate the risk of flooding if this line freezes during cold periods.

Our customer in Saint-Évariste-de-Forsyth, Quebec was experiencing water infiltration in her basement, causing dampness and mold. To ensure a long-lasting, effective solution, our team installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system, combined with the TripleSafe sump pump-an ideal combination to prevent water accumulation, even in the event of heavy rain or power failure. As a result, the basement is dry, healthy and completely protected against water infiltration problems. 

In this project in Saint-Martin, our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec stepped in to resolve issues with water infiltration, excessive moisture, and unpleasant odors in the basement. The buildup of moisture was creating an environment conducive to material deterioration, mold growth, and poor indoor air quality.

To remedy the situation, we installed the WaterGuard drainage system to effectively capture water around the foundation and redirect it to the SuperSump system for reliable drainage. We also installed an IceGuard discharge line to prevent blockages caused by freezing during Quebec winters.

Thanks to this comprehensive basement waterproofing solution, the space is now dry, clean, and better protected against future leaks, providing homeowners with lasting peace of mind.

Mr. Jacques was required to replace his sump pump, which was no longer functional, causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the sump in the basement. After some research on the net, he came across of Basement Systems Quebec and contacted our team for a free inspection

After agreeing to the offer, our team has installed a new sump pump system called TripleSafe. This high-end system includes three pumps that are specifically designed to maximize the system’s efficiency.

Mr. Jacques is now very satisfied with the installation and the customer service of Basement Systems Québec.
