Before & After Photos

Mr. Côté was dealing with so many problems in his basement. There was mainly water seeping inside and cold air coming in through the walls.

Solution:

• Installation of WaterGuard (interior drainage system) along the perimeter of the foundation.

• Installation of a SuperSump sump pump system.

• Cover the walls with SilverGlo to insulate the basement from the cold.

This resident of Montreal  had problems of water infiltration since the purchase of her house. Furthermore, she had not yet found a solution that satisfied her enough to carry out the work.

After hearing about Basement Systems Québec and its inner foundation drain system, the owner decided to have this system installed in her basement.

 The WaterGuard is a very efficient system and gets installed from the inside of the house, unlike the French drain that must be installed by digging around the residence. In addition, it offers our clients a lifetime guarantee and peace of mind.

By installing a drainage system around the inside of the basement along the wall, you can capture water at the most common point of entry-the floor/ wall joint.

You can also capture water from the walls and prevent the center of the floor from leaking by intercepting the water at the perimeter of the floor before it gets to the center.

We applied this system in our client’s basement in Outremont and waterproofed the whole area.

Ms. Lauzon had a problem with water infiltration in a room in her basement. Wall efflorescence means that there is water and moisture seeping into the walls and this causes a white powdery substance (mineral salts) to appear on the concrete walls. .

The solution

Install a sump pump system as well as a WaterGuard interior drain. First, a hole was dug to install our SuperSump sump pump system. It features a powerful ⅓ HP Zoeller cast iron sump pump capable of pumping 8,300 gallons of water per hour out of your basement to a height of 8 feet. Then a trench is dug all along the foundation walls to reach the foundation footing and the WaterGuard is laid in it. It collects water from the walls and the floor.

With this solution, Ms. Lauzon now has a permanently dry basement.

Our client had a mold problem that was starting to show up and was becoming more and more serious.

In order to fix the problem, our specialist installed a ;Drainage Matting to collect the water that escapes from the ground and accumulates in the crawl space;  A CleanSpace to isolate the earth from the rest of the crawl space to reduce humidity.

 To get the excess water out of the crawl space, a SuperSump was installed. It is a covered pump that prevents the moisture from getting out.

Thanks to these solutions, our client now enjoys a house protected against humidity and mold.
