Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair in Cookshire-eaton, QC

When our team arrived at our client's home in Cookshire, the situation in their crawl space presented several critical issues. The space suffered from constant humidity, water infiltration, and deteriorated insulation, creating conditions conducive to mold, persistent odors, and reduced energy efficiency in the home. These problems affected not only indoor comfort, but also air quality and the durability of the structure.

After a thorough inspection, we recommended a multi-step intervention to stabilize and protect the area in a sustainable manner.

The first step was to install the CleanSpace® encapsulation system, a high-performance membrane designed to completely seal the crawl space and block moisture from the ground and walls. This solution creates a clean, dry, and controlled environment while improving the overall efficiency of the home.

We then added the TripleSafe™ pump, an advanced drainage system offering increased protection against water infiltration. With its three levels of protection, this system provides peace of mind in the event of heavy rain, rising groundwater, or mechanical failure.

Finally, to optimize long-term humidity control, we installed the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, known for its ability to maintain stable, healthy humidity levels, reduce allergens, and improve air quality throughout the home.

Today, our client's crawl space has been completely transformed: dry, clean, sealed, and protected against future risks. This intervention not only improves the structural condition of the home, but also its comfort, value, and energy performance.

In a neighborhood in Sawyerville, Quebec, a homeowner was experiencing problems withing his crawl space : Joists were rotting due to the excess amount of humidity. This was also leading to sagging floor above it. Our specialist arrived to assess the situation and explained that the rotting joists are resulting in an unstable floor. The solution will be to stop the excess moisture by encapsulating the crawl space. In addition, support beams will be installed to relevel the floor above.  Our production team acted efficiently to implement the solution. We began by installing CleanSpace drainage membrane, which facilitates water drainage, significantly reducing moisture levels and preparing the crawl space for encapsulation. Next, we installed our CleanSpace liner, to ensure that the entire space is encapsulated in a clean, durable moisture barrier. To combat sagging floors, our team installed six SmartJack support posts. These sturdy galvanized steel columns were precision-cut to the required lengths and strategically placed to stabilize the beams and raise the floors to their original level.

Last fall, a homeowner in Cookshire-Eaton noticed something unsettling: after every rainstorm, their basement became damp and water trickled in through the foundation walls.

Central to solving their basement woes was a full assessment by one of our accomplished Specialists. During the inspection, it became apparent that the culprit was water infiltration—a common yet highly fixable challenge for many homes in the region.

The WaterGuard system is designed to intercept water at the foundation level and divert it to a sump pump system before it can ever reach the inside.
