Water seeping through the walls in this basement in Montreal East, Qc
Challenge
Mr. Mann has problems with humidity and water infiltration in his basement. Water seeps in through the walls .He knows that water infiltration will continue to occur and before finishing his basement, he would like to fix this problem. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to find a permanent solution to his problem and eliminate the humidity.
Solution
First, our experts installed our WaterGuard interior drain system in his basement. A trench is dug at the bottom of the foundation walls and the WaterGuard is laid there. Water seeping through the block walls flows to the WaterGuard and the WaterGuard directs it directly to the sump pump system.
Subsequently, they laid a drainage membrane directly on the block walls. It has the effect of directing the water which comes from the walls towards the WaterGuard.
And to finish it off, they laid our CleanSpace coating over the drainage membrane. It cuts the moisture from water infiltration of the walls and gives a clear and bright appearance to the basement. It is made of different layers of materials, including polyethylene and then an antimicrobial, to prevent mold growth.
With this solution, Mr. Mann will be able to finish his basement and will no longer have a moisture problem.
