Mr. Guilbert was the victim of a flood in the spring and his basement was damaged. He had to empty everything and throw away most of his belongings. Since living there, he had not had any problem with flooding, but the sump pump that was there could not meet his needs and remove the water last spring. . He wanted to finish his basement to use that space, but was worried about the following spring because he did not want to relive that bad experience. He therefore contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to install a new high-performance and reliable sump pump system. The solution - Install our TripleSafe sump pump system. It is the most reliable and efficient thanks to its triple protection; 2 Zoellers pumps and 1 battery pump in case of power failure. - Lay an external discharge line in order to expel the water away from the foundation. - Connect an IceGuard drainage system to the external discharge line. It allows water to escape if the pipes freeze or become blocked for any reason. Without this system, the basement could be flooded in winter. With this basement waterproofing solution, Mr. Guilbert will have nothing to fear for next spring and even in all seasons!

The basement was emptied following a flood

This basement suffered from a flood and the majority of the belongings had to be thrown away. Before redoing his basement, our client wanted to install a new efficient and reliable sump pump system.

IceGuard

This is a water evacuation system in case of freezing or obstruction of pipes during winter. Without it, the basement could be flooded in winter.

Evacuation line

In order to direct the water out, an exterior drain line nearly 20 feet long was put underground to force the water away from the house. At the end of it, a LawnScape outlet has been installed which allows the outlet of the pipe to be camouflaged.
