Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

This basement in Mont-Tremblant was very humid due to water infiltration. Mr. Mendez said that he saw mold stains on the walls.

Our client did not have a sump pump system in his basement so we installed a SuperSump sump pump system which includes a 1/2 HP Zoeller cast iron pump as well as a WaterGuard interior French drain. The WaterGuard is laid on the foundation footing all along the walls to collect water from the foundation walls and soil to direct it to the SuperSump.

There is only once cause of all the problems in crawl spaces, which is relative humidity.

When humidity is high it causes mold to grow, and this affects airflow throughout your home and moves the spores in the void to the upper floors of your home.

This is why we needed to encapsulate the crawl space of this customer in Mont-Tremblant.

Our team installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier that stops all the water vapor from the walls or soil, and a SmartSump pump that is designed just for crawl spaces.

The problem

Water infiltration in the crawl space of Mr. Batah's house; an earthen floor that lets moisture out and a non-functional pedestal pump.

The solution

We removed the old pump in order to install our SmartSump sump pump system. We have covered the earthen floor with a drainage membrane that will be able to direct water to the SmartSump and that will add some insulation value. Next, we added a CleanSpace vapor barrier coating on top of the drainage membrane to insulate the earthen floor of the house and block moisture from the floor. Finally, we installed our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity level.

This client contacted our company to tell us that she had water leaking in her crawl space, centered around a pipe. It became worse in the rainy and melting seasons. So to solve her problem, we installed two SmartJacks, our WaterGuard drain, our SuperSump pump and injtected FlexiSpan. She now has a dry and stable crawlspace. 

The expanded polystyrene SilverGlo insulation contains graphite particles that reflect heat and preserve it inside your basement. Thus, the insulation has a lower thermal conductivity, but a higher R-value per inch. The graphite infused polystyrene interior foam resists heat flow. Finally, the radiant barrier reflects the heat inside for ultimate savings in energy consumption.
