Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Tucked away in a Beaconsfield home lay an old, rusty sump pump, barely keeping up with its duties. (See the "BEFORE" photo for its sorry state!) Realizing the need for a powerful, enduring solution, the homeowner reached out to us. Pleased to highlight our commitment to exceptional services and lasting results, we swapped the aging system with our TripleSafe Sump Pump and added the IceGuard for extra security against freezing. Notice in the "AFTER" photo—the difference isn't just visible, it's confidence reassured.

Problem

Mrs. Weaver had water leaks in her basement. This is due to the malfunction of her sump pump.

Solution

Replace your pump with our SuperSump sump pump system. This pump is able to pump outside the basement up to 8,300 liters of water per hour, it will keep our client's basement dry with our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.

Our clients in Beaconsfield had a water infiltration problem due the sump pump overflowing during a big rain. They thought this could happen again, as they only had one pump in the pit and there was no battery backup system. They only knew about there issue when it was too late and the water was already on their basement floor. Also their sump pit was open, causing a lot of humidity in the basement.  

As they thought this could definitely happen again, they called us to install a sump pit with the intention of finishing their basement. They needed a system that would give them the peace of mind, once and for all. As such, our specialist recommended the TripleSafe sump pump system, as this met the clients' needs with features such as 2 main pumps, one battery-operated backup pump, an alarm system and an airtight sump lid to help lower the humidity level in the basement.

Attic insulation is an important step in solving problems of home comfort, health and wasted energy (and money). This client contacted us because the temperatures in the different rooms fluctuated a lot. In addition, the old insulation became dirty and unhealthy and accumulated dust, dirt and other unwanted material.

To solve this problem, our team began by removing all the old insulation. Then we sealed all the places such as gaps, wiring holes, hunts and the top of the walls to block any air leaks. It was also necessary to encapsulate the ducts with our Tight 'n True high R-value spray foam system. Finally, we insulate the entire space with TruSoft insufflated cellulose. All these products allow the attic to be completely insulated by blocking all air leaks and controlling the energy released in your home.

When water seeps into a stairwell and you already have a sump pump system in another basement room that is draining water, we can help you fix the problem with an interior waterproofing system.

Our solution: install an internal foundation drain that catches water from the ground under the stairs and on the walls of the staircase and discharges it through a pipe connected to the sump pump a little further.

It is an effective and discreet solution and once the drain is covered, you will not even see it anymore.

Here is a photo during the inspection that contains the annotations of the basement waterproofing specialist and a photo of the result once the system is installed. Once the concrete has dried, you do not notice any difference other than the fact that your basement will be dry!
