Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Leak Inspection and Foundation Protection in Saint-Sylvere, QC
A comprehensive basement waterproofing project was carried out in Saint-Sylvere to address water infiltration, moisture issues, and water accumulation caused by hydrostatic pressure around the foundation. The project began with excavation and preparation of the interior perimeter of the basement, followed by cutting into the concrete slab along the foundation walls to allow for the installation of the interior drainage system. A WaterGuard® drain was then installed to capture water from the ground and walls before it entered the living space, and connected to a retention tank with a TripleSafe® sump pump to ensure reliable and continuous water removal. Once the pumping system was installed and connected, a discharge line was run to the exterior of the property to carry water away from the foundation. An IceGuard® system was added to the discharge line to prevent backflow caused by freezing or winter blockages. Finally, the excavated areas were backfilled and the concrete was restored, leaving a complete, durable, and effective interior drainage system.
