Installation of a new pump and drain system inside a house in Sainte-Madeleine, Qc

The problem

Water infiltration in the basement that is frequent. The water comes from the cracks that are on the foundation walls and the joint between the foundation footing and the wall that became frequent with every rain. Mr. Bordeleau already had up to 4 inches of water in his basement and he had to pull everything out in order to redo his basement.

 He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a permanent and reliable basement waterproofing solution.

The solution

 To resolve our customer's issue, we first removed the customer's old sump pump that was no longer working to install our SuperSump sump pump system. It includes a Zoeller pump and a battery pump that will trigger in the event of a power failure. Next, we installed a WaterGuard interior foundation drain system. It is placed on the foundation footing and its purpose is to collect water from the walls and soil for delivery to the SuperSump sump pump system. We installed our CleanSpace coating on the foundation wall to prevent moisture from the walls from spreading into the basement.

With this solution, Mr. Bordeleau now has a dry basement.
