A basement without a pump is not a protected basement

The client wanted to make sure that his infiltration problem would be fixed and that he would be protected against infiltration. He was planning to renovate and finish his basement so he didn't want to ruin his investment.

Presence of moisture stains at the bottom of concrete walls

The presence of darker spots, where the walls meet the floor, is a sign that there is water on a regular basis. It is important to resolve this type of problem quickly.

Installing a TripleSafe pump

This pump was developed to collect large amounts of rain and the thaw period. It contains 3 pumps (2 electric, 1 battery), 2 alarms and 1 drain.

Signs of efflorescence in various places on the concrete

Efflorescence is the minerals in the water that have evaporated. This gives the result of white spots resembling white salt on the surface of concrete walls or floors.

Solve the problem at the source or waterproof?

In some cases, a homeowner cannot afford to fix the problem causing water infiltration, at the source. So he chooses to protect himself against this inevitable infiltration of water by waterproofing his basement or crawl space. At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, several options and solutions are available to each client, whatever their need.

Addition of 2 IceGuards to our TripleSafe pump

The IceGuard allows the water collected by the pump to evacuate. Even in winter, when the water freezes, this product will prevent water from clogging the hose, ensuring an efficient system even during lower temperatures.
