Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

PROBLEM

Mr. Bruno's crawl space was uncovered and created humidity in the rest of the house. The client did not want this to affect his family's health in the long term.

 SOLUTION

 Systèmes Sous-sol Québec’s team suggested a solution that guaranteed a dry space all year round. A solution including 3 products; TerraBlock insulation, SmartDrain and CleanSpace encapsulation product.

Our TerraBlock insulation provides a puncture-resistant vapor barrier on all surfaces it covers - one that will not be damaged by water or support the growth of mold, rot, and mildew.

As for the SmartDrain, it is a floor drain installed at the lowest point of the crawl space to intercept water infiltration caused by plumbing leaks.

And finally the CleanSpace will prevent the growth of mold. In addition it is odorless and very safe to use.

When you suffer from water infiltration in your basement, always check whether your sump pump is working efficiently.

The TripleSafe sump pump, such as the one installed in our client’s basement in Rigaud, is designed to protect you from any problems that might occur with standard sump pumps.  As well as an alarm to alert your attention to any problems, it also uses a specially designed Ultra Sump battery (not an automobile or marine battery) and auxiliary pump to backup the primary pump. This ensures the Triple Safe sump pump continues to work even in the case of a power failure or pump malfunction.

Our client had a basement that was not adequately protected from flooding. He contacted our company and set up an appointment for a free estimate.

In order to adequately protect the objects he stores in his basement. We installed a WaterGuard interior water drain system with a TripleSafe pump system.

Thanks to this solution, our client benefits from a basement adequately protected from flooding.

When the specialist visited this house, he noticed that the concrete block foundation wall was failing. One of the signs that often appears is a stair-shaped crack around the blocks or an interior curvature of the wall. The PowerBrace system is zinc plated and is specially adapted for the height of your basement. They are secured in the ground and on your wall thanks to brackets anchored in the joists. This unique system is designed by engineers to be adjusted and tightened over the years in order to reverse the problem of wall failure without having to dig and start large foundation projects. This system strengthens your foundations instantly and brings value back to your home.

Our company took a wet and moldy basement in Hudson Heights and transformed it into a dry and waterproofed basement using our WaterGuard interior drainage system and the TripleSafe sump pump.

Our WaterGuard waterproofing system is an innovative interior perimeter drainage channel designed to effectively solve basement water problems. WaterGuard, along with other products, will keep your basement clean and dry so you can use the space for storage, recreational purposes, or to finish for additional living space.
