Photo Album: Preventative waterproofing on a basement in Saint-Etienne-de-Bolton, Qc
The basement had no protection against water
The issue of water in basements has been an ongoing problem since the first basement was built. Sub-floor structures like basements and crawl spaces are not perfect by design and are built on soil that constantly shifts and moves. Water collects around and under basements and can leak in through walls, floor slabs and in between the walls and floors.
SilverGlo insulation on the walls
SilverGlo is designed with high-efficiency graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. When installed on your crawl space walls, it provides an unbroken sheet of R-11 insulation for your home. When installed, SilverGlo also provides a vapor barrier on your crawl space walls, holding back the moisture and humidity.

Installation of the WaterGuard basement drainage system
The WaterGuard basement waterproofing system from Basement Systems is an innovative interior basement drainage system designed to effectively solve your basement water problems.
The WaterGuard replacing the french drain
Unlike conventional French drains that are installed outside the foundation or alongside the footing, WaterGuard drainage piping is installed inside the basement and won't clog with silt or plant roots. WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump.
