Before & After Photos

Foundation cracks are a big problem that many owners in Sherbrooke face. Reparations by injection, as you can see in the Before picture, is not always the best solution especially if the crack is horizontal. In this case, there is a good chance that water will penetrate back just like it happened with this client. 

We consequently installed a vapor barrier to drain the water towards the interior drain and to have a permanent solution. The SilverGlo membrane as shown in the picture, has an R-value of 11 to isolate foundation walls all over Quebec. 

This basement in Sherbrooke had water seepage that was coming through some cracks in the foundation.

In this case the leak was obvious, since our client was always noticing a pool of water on the floor.

After contacting our company, we sent our team for a free inspection, and therefore we suggested the installation of our interior drainage system’ the Waterguard’.

An exterior drainage system can do extensive damage to your lawn and cost you a lot of money while an interior drain system will eliminate those elements and do an amazing job at keeping your basement dry.

When waterproofing your basement, your water heater can remain a threat. A preventative solution must be found to not have the problem of the water heater flooding and further damaging the basement.

Here's what to do to protect your place from leaking water from a water heater.

FloodRing is a product that is easily installed around the water heater. It is a 4-inch high ring sealed to the floor that will contain any leaking water and redirect it to the drain.

This product is not very expensive and easy to install when installing your indoor drain system. This is especially beneficial because the water heater must be changed often during the life of the house, and often when it starts to sink it can be time to change it.

In many cases, the damage has already been done... Preventing water damage is better than healing.

Mr. Plante, a homeowner residing in Nicolet, Quebec, noticed worrisome cracks in his basement floor. While seeking a solution online, he discovered our website. Impressed by our extensive repair options and past projects, he completed our contact form. Upon receiving his request, we contacted him to gather additional details and arrange a complimentary quote and inspection. Our expert, Dan, journeyed to Nicolet and conducted a thorough examination of the basement. He recommended installing a SuperSump sump pump system, along with an IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet, to effectively drain water from the basement and divert it away from the foundation. Mr. Plante accepted the proposal, and we scheduled the installation. Our team leader, Hernandito, initially excavated a trench outside for the exterior discharge line. Subsequently, he dug a pit in the basement and installed the SuperSump sump pump system. He then affixed the IceGuard to the discharge line, laid the line in the trench, refilled it with soil, and installed the LawnScape outlet. Finally, he filled the gap in the sump pump pit with cement. Thanks to the dedication of our team at Basement Systems Quebec, our client can now rest assured, free from concerns about water infiltration!

Mr. St-Laurent, a resident of Compton, Quebec, grappled with basement humidity issues. Turning to the internet for a solution, he discovered our website, which offered various remedies for basement moisture. Encouraged, he completed our request form. Promptly, we reached out to him, scheduling a complimentary quote and inspection. Our specialist, Jorge, conducted a thorough assessment of the troublesome basement. He proposed a solution comprising 153ft of WaterGuard interior basement drain, CleanSpace vapor barrier, a TripleSafe sump pump system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and 40ft of SilverGlo insulation. Accepting Jorge's proposal, Mr. St-Laurent agreed to the installation date. Foreman Felix journeyed to Compton on the appointed day to commence the work. Initially, he installed the TripleSafe™ sump pump in a pit. Subsequently, he excavated a trench along the basement walls and laid the WaterGuard. Then, he applied SilverGlo insulation and the CleanSpace vapor barrier to cover all basement walls. Finally, he installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, connecting it to the sump pump, and filled all trenches with cement. With the dedicated efforts of our team at Basement Systems Quebec, Mr. St-Laurent can now bid farewell to worries about basement humidity.
