Systèmes Sous-sol Québec Before & After Photos

We often get calls from homeowners who are hesitant to buy a concrete block home. This type of foundation does not have the best reputation and might have lots of problems.

It is for this reason that our team of engineers dedicated the time necessary to study this type of house and find the optimal solutions.

When our client Mr. Sébastien called us, exactly for this type of project, he saw our expertise on the subject and was able to trust us.

Considering the condition of the foundation, our team recommended a total of 7 PowerBraces. This product makes it possible to stabilize the foundation permanently, thanks to its system which allows it to be tightened more and more, to put the wall straight.

To complete a complete dry basement solution, Mr. Sébastien added a SuperSump pump. This pump can remove 8,300 liters of water per hour.

PROBLEM

There was an unfinished part within the basement, resembling a crawlspace, was excessive humidity with uncomfortable odors. We identified several mold spots, as well as efflorescence. 

SOLUTION

1) Encapsulation of the problematic area to eliminate harmful moisture and the installation of a sump pump.

CleanSpace system: It involves covering the floor and walls with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier above. The drainage membrane has a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the sump pump. The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive humidity. This barrier also includes an antimicrobial additive, preventing mold growth.

Installing SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, a pump liner, a cover, a sealed sump basin, and a WaterWatch alarm to prevent any potential disasters.

Mr. Michel from Saint-André-Avellin informed us that he was having problems in his basement since the day he relocated to his new house.

All the cracks he had in the foundation were letting water to infiltrate causing too much moisture and mold in the place.

We have solved those problems by installing an interior drainage system since the  exterior drainage system can do extensive damage to your lawn and cost you a lot of money,and a  SuperSump sump pump system to intercept all water seepage, push it away from her house, and prevent any escape from water vapor and aggravation of molds.

We sent our team to inspect this basement in Saint-André-Avellin.

There was water in the basement, and the owner told us that the water entering his basement is coming from rain and melting snow.

Our client had also an open sump, but it was not beneficial at all, so we suggested a complete waterproofing system to get rid of the water for good!

Furthermore, we installed our interior drainage system the ‘WaterGuard’ with an inspection port and connected it to a SuperSump sump pump.

When you have a perimeter drainage system installed in your home, your sump pump is your main line of defense against a basement flood.

Encapsulating a damp crawl space with our CleanSpace system is an effective solution to moisture problems that can lead to mold growth, unpleasant odors, and structural damage. The CleanSpace system involves installing a durable, vapor-resistant liner that completely seals the crawl space from outside elements, preventing moisture from entering. This system not only protects the home’s foundation but also enhances energy efficiency by insulating the area, creating a cleaner, drier, and healthier environment. With CleanSpace, homeowners can enjoy long-term peace of mind knowing their crawl space is fully protected against dampness and its damaging effects.
