Waterproofing foundations from the inside - ACQ

The Magazine Construire published by the Association de la Construction du Québec (ACQ) is one of the most important references of innovative information on the construction industry in Quebec.

In their latest edition for the spring of 2016, the issue of waterproofing the foundation was thoroughly discussed in a complete section on the subject.

Different ways to dry a basement were addressed, and the editor talked about several solutions and products for basement waterproofing, foundation insulation as well as crack repairs.

The topic of basement waterproofing would probably not be complete without mentioning the methods of repair from the inside of the basement, the specialty of Basement Systems Quebec.

The article talks about our internal drain systems, WaterGuard® and CactusBoard, as well as all products used to protect the basement from moisture such as CleansSpace or ThermalDry membranes.

It highlights as well our way to repair basement wall cracks to address the problem of water infiltration, the Flexispan, a solution that ensures that the crack will never leak.

We strongly recommend reading the article for more information on all current solutions for below-the-grade water infiltration.
