Photo Album: A basement waterproofed at Sainte-Rose, Laval, Quebec

This client from the Sainte-Rose area of Laval, Quebec contacted us to tell us about her water problem in the basement. There were cracks and water seeping through these cracks. Who says water also says water vapor and therefore high humidity. So we sent the specialist Jonathan who could recommend a complete solution, sustainable and economical.

Stan in installation

Our production team is working hard to ensure that your products are installed correctly to block all your water infiltration.

WellDuct under the window

The WellDuct was installed under the windows to drain the water entering through the window well.

WaterGuard Installation

Then, our team dug a trench all around the perimeter of the walls to install the WaterGuard interior drain that intercepts water from the floor and walls. A TrenchDrain has also been installed to intercept water coming through doors and stairs.

Sealed foundation cracks

Our team first sealed the wall cracks with polyurethane and FlexiSpan injection. These combination products block water and redirect it to the inner drain while being flexible to accommodate future wall movements. Thus, the crack will never open again.

SuperSump and UltraSump pump

To evacuate the water in the drain, we installed a SuperSump sump pump system combined with an UltraSump booster pump system. Together, these systems can evacuate water away from home while allowing the pump to continue its drainage functions if a power outage occurs. So there is no risk that the basement will be flooded during storms that cause power outages because the UltraSump pump will start automatically and the alarm will indicate that this pump is running.
