PROBLEM

Our client Mr. Grant had wanted to sell his house a while ago. He found that he was not getting exactly the offers he expected. When he received the report that one of the potential clients had made with an inspector, he saw that what most affected the amount was the disturbing state of the crawl space. Indeed, the amount of water that infiltrated on a frequent basis and the materials left with mold cooled many buyers, with a good reason.

SOLUTION

Thanks to our free and complete quote, the customer immediately had their questions answered. He now had a plan of action to finally sell his house, at the desired value. Given the state of the crawl space, our team went there with a SmartSump pump, to keep the crawl space dry. Then we encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace and Drainage Matting. The water can now be redirected to the pump. Homeowners can now enjoy a dry space.

Our Customer’s sump pump was making too many noises all the time, and used to clog a lot! So when Vivian in Hudson called us asking for our help, we told her that it most likely means that there is a problem with the motor, and it needs to be replaced since it was very old and proved to be inefficient!

We replaced this pedestal sump pump with our SuperSump pump system, which is very effective, and capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.

Thanks to our SuperSump pump, our client’s basement is always dry!

Mr. Rees has lived in his house for 3 years. He noticed that there was mold in his crawl space and that there was an unpleasant smell in the house. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to fix the situation quickly so that it would not get worse.

 Once the free inspection was completed by our specialist, he found the following issues:

 - Water infiltration on the floor of the crawl space

 - Pump not sufficient to remove water from the crawl space

 - Very humid crawl space

 - Mold on wood and rusty pipes in the crawl space.

What our experts did? They removed all the debris that were in the crawl space, installed our SmartSump sump pump, placed our membrane on the ground that allows water to drain on the ground surface to the sump pump, installed our liner Cleanspace over the membrane and then connected our Sanidry dehumidifier.

With all of these elements, mold growth is eliminated and Mr Rees' crawl space is dry and clean! The foul odor will thus disappear and he will be able to find the comfort in his home.

Our customer’s foundation in Lachute was curving, which is a serious problem and sign of failure in the basement foundation walls.

We have solved this problem, by installing PowerBrace galvanized steel beams and several smartJacks.

The beams form a system designed specifically to support the walls of failed foundations and to straighten the walls to their original position over time. Zinc coated, the PowerBrace system resists erosion, reduces abrasion and makes beams non-toxic

As for the SmartJack  Support Pillars , those are steel support systems used to stabilized and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space.

In Addition they are super strong (support loads of more than 60,000 lbs.), and is the only solution that addresses problem soils.

Our patented system stands out from the others and we are very happy to have had the chance to install it at our customer’s place to solve his problem once and for all!

The sump should have an airtight lid on it to prevent water from evaporating out of the sump hole into the basement, to stop stuff from falling in that can clog the pump or switch, and to quiet the system.

We changed our client’s non hermetic pump in Lachute and replaced it with our TripleSafe sump pump.

This sump pump system provides the ultimate protection against basement leaks and moisture problems.
