Photo Album: Waterproofing a basement in Sainte-Julie, Qc
Mr. Lee wanted to know the reasons why spores are growing in his place in Saint-Julie, since it was distressing him and threatening his families’ health.
After many researches, he finally found Systèmes Sous-sol Québec and he called us asking for our free consultation, so we sent our specialist to examine his entire place right away.
The first thing we needed to do it is to check up his basement, since water leakage might be the main reason behind all of the mold growth and the existing humidity.
Our speculations were correct and our specialist found signs of water leakage on the basement’s walls and floors, and so we informed Mr. Lee that he has to waterproof and insulate the entire area in order to keep it dry and healthy.
Mr. Lee approved on our solutions presented and following it we started the installation process.
As a start, we installed the WaterGuard Interior Drain in order to lead water to the drain, and then we have connected it to our companie’s SuperSump pump that will evacuate water.
Then we installed the ThermalDry wall membrane to keep water vapor out, in addition to our Sanidry basement dehumidifier that creates a dry and clean air.
