When you suffer from water infiltration in your basement, always check whether your sump pump is working efficiently.
This is what we advised our client who had contacted us asking for our advice!
The TripleSafe sump pump, such as the one installed in our client’s basement in Trois-Rives, is designed to protect you from any problems that might occur with standard sump pumps. As well as an alarm to alert your attention to any problems, it also uses a specially designed Ultra Sump battery (not an automobile or marine battery) and another pump to backup the primary pump. This ensures the TripleSafe sump pump continues to work even in case of a power failure or pump malfunction.
Facing an alarming vertical crack inside the basement, the homeowner in Saint-Damase seeked our help. Our specialist explained in details how this cracks is driving water infiltration inside the basement, and thus increase humidity levels which will deteriorate the quality of air inside the house.
As a remedy, we installed our revolutionary FlexiSpan system including a polyurethane-based sealing with a second membrane that will cover the crack and push any escaping water infiltration to the drainage system.
Client was satisfied with the result, knowing that he won't have to deal with this crack anymore.
Faced with persistent humidity and dampness in their Bromont basement, this homeowner dealt with ongoing water infiltration issues, affecting the space's utility and safety. The before photo clearly illustrates the extent of the moisture accumulation on the walls. To tackle this challenge, we implemented our specialized WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, complemented by the powerful TripleSafe Sump Pump System and the reliable IceGuard discharge line. This layered, all-encompassing approach successfully directs unwelcome water away, safeguarding the structure as shown in the after photo. The basement is now perfectly equipped to remain dry throughout the year, increasing the home's long-term usability and structural integrity.
There was a very high level of humidity in this basement in Sutton. The problem with stone walls is that they are more conducive to water infiltration, as there are many cracks and spaces between the stones which allow water, humidity and cold to enter the basement.
To remedy this situation, we installed our patented TripleSafe sump pump system which removes water from the ground. It is our most efficient system and is equipped with 3 pumps; a main pump, an alternative and a battery. Next, we installed our patented WaterGuard interior drainage system. In this way the water which passes through the wall or which comes from the ground is directed directly towards the TripleSafe pump which will expel it outside the house. Finally, we insulated the walls with our superior Foamax insulation which gives a clear and clean appearance to the basement.
In Shawinigan, one homeowner had been living with the constant challenges of a damp and uncomfortable basement. Over time, excess humidity had led to mold growth and unpleasant odors, while small cracks in the foundation walls began allowing water to seep in during heavy rains. The space felt cold, clammy, and unsafe, far from the clean usable area the homeowner wanted it to be.
To bring the basement back to life, our team designed a complete waterproofing and stabilization plan. We installed the WaterGuard drainage system, which efficiently channels water away from the home to keep the area consistently dry. To improve insulation and moisture control, we applied SilverGlo wall panels, helping maintain a healthier environment and better energy efficiency. Finally, the PowerBrace system was added to reinforce the foundation walls, ensuring long-term structural stability.
With these upgrades, the basement was completely transformed into a clean, dry, and solid space and the homeowner can now use it with confidence for years to come.
