Photo Album: A waterproofed basement in Grenville-La-Rouge, Qc
Our client’s basement in Grenville-Sur-La Rouge was in a bad state. Water was coming inside every time there was thaw, and the place was constituently wet even though a sump pump already existed.
When we received a call from this homeowner, we suggested our free inspection and informed him that the first thing he needed to do it to replace his old and rusty sump pump.
Then we suggested a wall insulation’ the CleanSpace’ that will decrease the level of moisture in the area, and make the place healthy again.
Musty and smelly basement in Grenville-Sur-La Rouge
Dampness and high humidity causes mold and mildew growth in the area.
Another downfall of a wet basement
Persistent condensation in a basement can lead to structural damage if not treated properly.

You can see clearly the mold on the wooden joist and the basement walls.
Team inspection
Our team found the best area to install the sump pump system
The CleanSpace drainage matting
The CleanSpace Drainage Matting is a dimpled drainage matting system that's designed to collect water from floor and direct it to our Supersump pump system.
Our team then installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier over the drainage matting
This is an inexpensive, waterproof & stain resistant material that prevents moisture growth.
SuperSump pump installed
This pump has one of the best pumps available that can pump 2,650 gallons of water per hour. It has a high-end Zoeller cast iron pump with mechanical float switch and it resists clogging and can even pump up to half an inch in solids.
Another advantage of our SuperSump
The SuperSump has a built-in WaterWatch alarm system that sounds off if water rises above the point where the pump should turn on. It gives the homeowner ample warning to fix the problem before any damage has occurred.
Discharge line installed
Our team digs a trench in the lawn for the pipe.
Lawnscape outlet
The LawnScape Outlet grate separates water at the end of an underground downspout extension or sump pump discharge line.
