Photo Album: Installation of an interior French drain and a sump pump system in a basement in Sainte-Madeleine, Qc
Mr. Bordeleau had water infiltrations in his basement and the water was coming from the cracks that are the foundation walls and the joint between the foundation footing and the walls. It used to happen occasionally, but became frequent with every rain. Mr. Bordeleau already had up to 4 inches of water in his basement and he had to pull everything out in order to redo his basement.
He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a permanent and reliable basement waterproofing solution.
The solution :
- Removed the customer's old sump pump that was no longer working and install our SuperSump sump pump system. It includes a Zoeller pump and a battery pump that will trigger in the event of a power failure.
- Installed a WaterGuard interior foundation drain system. It is placed on the foundation footing and its purpose is to collect water from the walls and soil to deliver it to the SuperSump sump pump system.
- Installed our CleanSpace coating on the foundation walls to prevent moisture from spreading into the basement.
With this solution, Mr. Bordeleau now has a dry basement.
