Sump Pump Installation Before & After Photos

In Saint-Romain, the client was facing a significant issue with an aging and inefficient sump pump that was no longer able to properly evacuate water during heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of water accumulation and basement infiltration. The situation was also critical due to the lack of a backup system in case of a power outage, which greatly reduced the reliability of the drainage system. We therefore carried out a full replacement of the existing system with a much more efficient solution by installing a TripleSafe system, which combines a primary pump, a secondary backup pump, and a battery-powered system to ensure continuous operation even during power failures or heavy water loads. This upgrade significantly improves basement protection, foundation water management, and overall building safety, while providing a durable solution adapted to Quebec’s climatic conditions.

In Cap-Saint-Ignace, a homeowner was facing significant water infiltration and mold problems that were threatening the structure and health of his basement. Faced with this situation, our team deployed a high-performance, durable waterproofing solution. The work consisted of installing the WaterGuard interior drain, CleanSpace drainage mat, and TripleSafe sump pump, three components that work together to effectively remove water and prevent moisture buildup around the foundation.

Thanks to this intervention, the space has been completely transformed: the basement is now dry, clean, and healthy, ready to be used to its full potential. This project perfectly illustrates how our advanced drainage technologies and waterproofing expertise provide lasting protection against moisture, infiltration, and mold.

The problem: This lady from Stoneham and Tewkesbury had an overflow problem since the day that her sump pumps was installed. She often had water emerging from her pump, because it did not work properly when there was a heavy rain or when the snow melted in the spring.

Solution: Our certified specialist suggested to change her sump system, in order to install a more efficient one that would keep the floor dry. The type of pump that was chosen for this project was the TripleSafe pump. The TripleSafe is equipped with three levels of protection, the first level is a pump for normal use which can evacuate up to 8,300 liters of water per hour. Subsequently, if the flow reaches its maximum capacity, the second level will work and pump will be able to evacuate up to 14,750 liters of additional water. And if there was an electrical failure, our system is equipped with a back-up battery which, in a single charge, can evacuate 43,350 liters of water.

From now on, this client can have the peace of mind and when there is an inclement weather or when the period of snowmelt arrives, she will be able to feel safe and enjoy a dry basement.

Protecting a basement from water isn’t just about installing a pump, every component plays an important role. In Saint-Paul-de-Montminy, Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec implemented a combination of solutions tailored to water and moisture management. The TripleSafe® pumping system ensures water drainage with multiple levels of protection, while the IceGuard® device helps maintain a drainage path in case of ice blockages. The LawnScape™ outlet then directs the drained water away from the foundation, and the SaniDry Sedona® dehumidifier helps control indoor humidity. This integrated system is designed to reduce the risks associated with water accumulation, excessive moisture, and damp basement issues.

A damp basement and an aging pumping system can quickly become a source of concern for homeowners. In Saint-Fabien-de-Panet, signs of moisture and the condition of the existing system highlighted the importance of upgrading the water drainage system to better protect the home.

To improve water management, Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec installed three essential components: a SuperSump sump pump, an IceGuard freeze protection system, and a discharge line to carry water outside.

The SuperSump pump collects and discharges water that has accumulated in the sump pit. Meanwhile, the IceGuard system provides additional protection when the discharge outlet is at risk of being blocked by freezing or other obstructions. The discharge line then carries the water away from the foundation, helping to limit water buildup near the house.

This installation modernizes the pumping system and improves protection for the basement against risks associated with water infiltration. Effective water management is essential for preserving the foundation, minimizing water damage, and promoting a drier, healthier indoor environment.
