Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was seeping into this house in Sainte-Geneviève at the foot of the foundation.

The sump pump was installed in a sump hole that was not sealed. Dirt penetrated and moisture escaped.

Our client could not install an outdoor French drain because there was landscaping and a stone deck on the outside perimeter of the house where the water was seeping.

We have solved the problem and made the basement dry at all times, thanks to our complete waterproofing solution.

In order to remove the water effectively, we installed the TripleSafe system which provides triple protection. Then we installed our WaterGuard indoor drain system to prevent water infiltration from entering the living space of the basement.

Our ThermalDry system was then installed to create a thermal break and spaces to drain water while preventing water vapor from entering the basement.

This client contacted us the first time in 2013 to request a bid to waterproof his basement which was suffering from water infiltration. Having decided that he was in no hurry to carry out the work, he dropped the project but contacted us again in 2019 to resume the project, as the problems worsened.

Our team installed a WaterGuard interior drain perimeter that intercepts water that seeps into the foundation, floor, and walls. This internal drain is connected to a sump pump system to evacuate water away from home.

Once the drain was installed around the foundation, our team covered the walls with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane that blocks the water vapor so that it does not wick the space. This membrane also redirects the infiltrations of water if there are some towards the drain. The vapor barrier prevents mold and bloom from appearing and proliferating.

When the homeowner in Pointe-Claire, QC, wrestled with excess humidity in their basement, they knew it was time to call us. As you can see in the before photo, the space was hardly usable, bogged down by moisture issues. But look at the transformation! After our team stepped in, installing our WaterGuard, SuperSump, the after photo speaks volumes. No more dampness, no more mustiness – just a dry, comfortable basement ready for any purpose. We’re proud to deliver not just a fix, but a lasting solution and peace of mind.

Here is another unfortunate customer due to underground water infiltration in the basement. Nobody appreciates the damage of water!

When this customer finally decided to solve the problem, he called us to take the opinion of one of our specialists in waterproofing. As a result, we solved the problem by installing a complete waterproofing system that includes the WaterGuard interior drain, CleanSpace vapor barrier, SuperSump sump pump system, and IceGuard and LawnScape discharge line accessories. We are always proud to solve problems of infiltration of water in an efficient way.
