Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

This basement in Salaberry-De-Valleyfield has been waterproofed thanks to our WaterGuard interior drain system and our SuperSump sump pump. Once connected, these two products form a highly efficient drainage system that intercepts water from the floor of this basement at the foundation and redirects it away from the foundation of the house. SilverGlow insulation has been added to insulate this space. SilverGlo is an expanded polystyrene insulation infused with graphite. The silver barrier also allows the reflection of heat towards the basement. 

This insulation and waterproofing system allow the basement space to block any water infiltration as well as preserve heat, which leads to a reduction in energy consumption costs. This basement is not comfortable and can be finished and used efficiently. 

When you suffer from water infiltration in your basement, always check whether your sump pump is working efficiently.

The TripleSafe sump pump, such as the one installed in our client’s basement in Rigaud, 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 auxiliary pump to backup the primary pump. This ensures the Triple Safe sump pump continues to work even in the case of a power failure or pump malfunction.

Our company took a wet and moldy basement in Hudson Heights and transformed it into a dry and waterproofed basement using our WaterGuard interior drainage system and the TripleSafe sump pump.

Our WaterGuard waterproofing system is an innovative interior perimeter drainage channel designed to effectively solve basement water problems. WaterGuard, along with other products, will keep your basement clean and dry so you can use the space for storage, recreational purposes, or to finish for additional living space.

PROBLEM

Mrs. Louise had significant water infiltration in her basement, despite having a sump pump installed. There was water floating on the concrete floor which started to ruin her entire basement. After being suggested by one of our clients about our company, she decided to call us quickly.

SOLUTION

The expert pump team went for a detailed assessment and explained that having a pump is not enough. It is always suggested to add an UltraSump battery to it to ensure that even during a power outage or if the pump stops running, the customer is protected. The battery provides several hours of additional protection.

Our team had also changed the existing pump for a current and more efficient model.

Our client can know enjoy her basement without the fear that her previous problem might occur again!

Mr. Galarneau from Boileau, Quebec, faced a persistent humidity problem at home for five years. After extensive internet searches, he discovered our website and reached out for help. Upon receiving his request, we promptly conducted a free inspection and provided a quote. Our specialist assessed the situation and recommended a comprehensive solution, including full encapsulation of the dirt crawl space using CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier and CleanSpace® Crawl Space Drainage Matting System. Three SmartJack® Crawl Space Stabilizer piers were installed to reinforce the floor, along with a new TripleSafe™ sump pump system, and IceGuard® and LawnScape discharge systems.

Foreman Felix executed the installation, addressing structural issues by installing SmartJack® piers. The dirt crawl space was encapsulated to reduce humidity, and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System was added for efficient water drainage. To prevent freezing and ensure proper water disposal, two IceGuard® and one LawnScape™ Discharge Line Outlet Systems were installed. Thanks to the expertise of our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, Mr. Galarneau's long-standing issues are now permanently resolved, saving him time and money.
