Complete renovation of a damp basement in Cap-Saint-Ignace, Quebec

Challenge

In Cap-Saint-Ignace, a homeowner was facing a major problem with persistent water infiltration and mold, which was compromising not only the healthiness of his basement, but also the safety of his home. The constant humidity had deteriorated the materials and significantly reduced the functionality of the space, making it impossible to use.

The basement showed visible signs of infiltration, with standing water along the walls and traces of mold on the surfaces. This situation caused damp odors, a risk to indoor air quality, and threatened the long-term soundness of the foundation. The client wanted to find a lasting solution that would guarantee a dry basement in all seasons.

Solution

After a thorough assessment of the site, our team designed and installed a custom waterproofing system tailored to the building's configuration.

The project included:

• The WaterGuard interior drainage system, installed around the perimeter of the floor to effectively capture and redirect water before it enters the living space.
• The CleanSpace drainage mat, laid on the floor to create a waterproof barrier and facilitate water flow to the drain.
• The TripleSafe sump pump, a triple-protection device that ensures continuous drainage, even in the event of a power failure or heavy rainfall.

This trio of technologies provides complete protection against infiltration while maintaining optimal long-term humidity levels.

This renovation in Cap-Saint-Ignace demonstrates the effectiveness of our certified drainage and waterproofing solutions in restoring and protecting basements from water damage. Thanks to a professional approach and high-performance products, the owner now enjoys a healthy, safe, and sustainably protected environment.
