Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in Saint-Lambert,Qc
During a pre-purchase inspection, our customer from Saint-Lambert was informed by the inspector of the fact that the house was showing signs of water infiltration.
Several years later, water was still infiltrating through the foundations of the basement and sometimes accumulating up to an inch and a half high. Mr. Lamart made the decision to take steps to solve his problems.
After hearing about Basement Systems Québec, and the expertise of this company, he had called in order to make an appointment for a free inspection with a specialist in basement waterproofing. A few days later, Jorje Zatarian went to his place to examine the situation and submit a free submission.
The submission proposed the installation of the WaterGuard Foundation drain system as well as the installation of the TripleSafe, one of our company’s best sump pump systems.
After the team of technicians had passed, the owner of the house said he was very satisfied with the work he had done, he could now be sure of having a completely dry basement.
Signs of Water infiltration in the basement
Water has accumulated under the slab during thaw and rainfall seasons, and the pressure subsequently caused the water to seep in.
Sump pump used in Saint-Lambert
The existing pedestal pump did not offer good protection. These pumps tend to overheat and could be noisy since they are installed outside the sump.
TripleSafe Sump Pump installation in Saint-Lambert,Qc
Our team has replaced the existing sump pump with one of our company's best sump pump systems.
The TripleSafe system as you see in the photo has 3 pumps including a battery-operated back-up pump to continuously operate and minimize the risk of water infiltration into the basement.
Discharge Line for sump pump installed in Saint-Lambert,Qc
People choose two ways to discharge the drain, either by the storm water system or to the sewer water system (illegal). Both solutions pose a risk of reflux since everyone is connected. The best way in our experience is to install a drainage system that is self-dependent and thus safely discharges water.
IceGuard installation in Saint-Lambert,Qc
Since our customer’s sump pump is susceptible to freezing in the winter, we installed our anti-freeze device called IceGuard. It will allow discharged water to escape if the drain freezes (or clogs for any reason).
