Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing / Interior Basement drain in Saint-Lambert
Mrs. White, a house owner in Saint-Lambert has moved only recently into her home when she first discovered that water was seeping into her large basement.
It was the thaw season, and the water came in from the walls and the floor. In addition, there was mold due to the presence of water, which made it impossible to use the basement as storage space.
After a thorough inspection of the basement, our specialist Jorge Michel Lecrec recommended an internal drain system throughout the perimeter of the house, as well as a sump pump to which the water would be conveyed.
Our team completed the work in only a few days, making the basement completely waterproofed. Finally, our client had more space to use in the house and her worry about water seeping into the basement is a thing of the past!
