Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

Before tackling the challenge in Sherrington, QC, with a crawl space submerged in infiltrated water, our team dived into solving the dilemma head-on. As evidenced in the before photo, the space was unhealthy and provided no beneficial use. Fortunately, by employing our CleanSpace system, shown in the after photo, we not transformed this once-drenched area. We're proud to give homes in our community firm, reliable, and lasting foundations beneath their feet, always aiming to exceed expectations and ensure safety and satisfaction.

If you're buying a home, it's important to have your home inspector check out the crawl space before you finalize the sale.

Our client has bought his house in Saint-Colomban several years ago, and started having sagging floors in his house and knew that he needed to find specialists to solve this situation.

After finding our company, we sent our team to inspect the area and so we suggested a full encapsulation of the crawl space.

We installed our Drainage Mat to redirect the water to one of our best sump pump systems known as ‘The SuperSump’ pump system. The SuperSump pump is one of the best pumps in the market with more than 100 holes to drain the water under the slab.

Then we installed our CleanSpace waterproofing membrane to prevent the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air.

And finally, and in order to stabilize the floors in the house, we installed 2 SmartJacks supports. The SmartJack is a support beam designed by engineers that adjusts to the exact height between the solid base and the support beam at the top.

Our customer from Saint-Colomban was so happy that we have turned his basement from a damp area into a livable place that his entire family can use as a living space and as a storage place as well.

We have used one of the best waterproofing products available in the market:

We started by installing our interior drain system: ‘The WaterGuard’. This interior drain will direct all the water seeping into the sump pump.

And since damp basement conditions can easily ruin certain flooring materials –like plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) and carpeting installed directly over a basement slab floor, we have installed basement flooring that couldn’t ever be damaged by mold or moisture’ The ThermalDry floor tiles’.

Having an old sump pump in your basement will not guarantee you that all the water will be pumped out the place, especially when there is too much rain or flood.

Mr. Cote had an old sump pump, and he felt that it was not enough, since the basement was always flooding, so he contacted us because he was interested in our patented systems.

When our specialist went to his place, he recommended the TripleSafe system which contains 3 pumps in a single hermetic coating. The first pump operates under normal conditions. The second pump starts if there is a problem with the first pump or if the flow and volume of water are too big and fast for the first one. This third pump is powered by a rechargeable battery and the SmartWatch alarm alerts you when the emergency battery is running.

This system is the best on the market and nothing is comparable to it.

Our client was very pleased with the installation and the peace of mind that the TripleSafe brings her.

Our customer in Saint-Colomban noticed that he had signs of moisture problems in his crawl space. We offered to come for a free inspection. During this inspection, our specialist Alexandrine discovered several signs of moisture problems, such as rotten wood pillars, degraded foam insulation, efflorescence, and rusted pipes. Relative humidity in the crawl space was measured at over 80%, well above the recommended 55%. She decided that the best way to solve these problems was to completely insulate and encapsulate the crawl space.

To begin, our team removed the old insulation to install the SilverGlo™ waterproof insulation. Next, they installed CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier, a durable 20-millimeter-thick sheathing system that resists tearing and offers better protection against moisture intrusion than thinner, more widely available solutions. Finally, they installed a powerful SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which removes 2.9 liters of water per kilowatt-hour (L/kWh). After our team's hard work, our customer no longer has to worry about moisture in his crawl space and the consequences it brings. Thank you for trusting us with your project, Mr. Craig!
