Photo Album: Waterproofing a Basement in Saint-Leonard
Waterproofing the house extension in Saint Leonard
The client had built an extension to the house part of which was suffering from a water infiltration in the foundation. Instead of doing a French drain all around the house, and in order to save the client some money, we saw that the best solution was to waterproof the perimeter of only that extension. The results were a dry and usable house extension.
Sump Pump Installation in Saint-Leonard
In order to lower the level of water under the slab and drain the water from the Waterguard, we installed a Supersump sump pump which has a Zoeller M53 pump.
The Best Sump Pump in Montreal
The Supersump is one of the best sump pump systems on the market. It has a sturdy liner with more than 100 holes to drain the soil under the slab and keep the water table low, an airtight floor drain, a Waterwatch alarm system for extra protection from water floods, and comes with a Zoeller cast iron 1/3 hp pump which pumps up to 2,200 gallons per hour at a head of 8 feet!
Freezing Water Discharge Line
The Iceguard you can see in this picture is Basement System's invention and mentioned several times by Jon Eakes in his shows. It ensures that the sump pump system discharge will never clog with ice, thus preventing basement flooding.
