Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Problem

Ms. Mitchell had problems with water infiltration in her basement, in addition to having several foundation cracks through which water had seeped.

Solution

In order to solve the problems of water infiltration and humidity in our client's basement, we installed our WaterGuard interior foundation drain system throughout the foundation walls. Then, we installed a SuperSump sump pump system.

Our customer from Saint-Colomban was so happy that we have turned his basement from a damp area into a livable place that his entire family can use as a living space and as a storage place as well.

We have used one of the best waterproofing products available in the market:

We started by installing our interior drain system: ‘The WaterGuard’. This interior drain will direct all the water seeping into the sump pump.

And since damp basement conditions can easily ruin certain flooring materials –like plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) and carpeting installed directly over a basement slab floor, we have installed basement flooring that couldn’t ever be damaged by mold or moisture’ The ThermalDry floor tiles’.

Having an old sump pump in your basement will not guarantee you that all the water will be pumped out the place, especially when there is too much rain or flood.

Mr. Cote had an old sump pump, and he felt that it was not enough, since the basement was always flooding, so he contacted us because he was interested in our patented systems.

When our specialist went to his place, he recommended the TripleSafe system which contains 3 pumps in a single hermetic coating. The first pump operates under normal conditions. The second pump starts if there is a problem with the first pump or if the flow and volume of water are too big and fast for the first one. This third pump is powered by a rechargeable battery and the SmartWatch alarm alerts you when the emergency battery is running.

This system is the best on the market and nothing is comparable to it.

Our client was very pleased with the installation and the peace of mind that the TripleSafe brings her.

The expanded polystyrene SilverGlo insulation contains graphite particles that reflect heat and preserve it inside your basement. Thus, the insulation has a lower thermal conductivity, but a higher R-value per inch. The graphite infused polystyrene interior foam resists heat flow. Finally, the radiant barrier reflects the heat inside for ultimate savings in energy consumption.

This commercial building in Kahnawake had water and air coming in from a crack in the wall. To solve this issue affecting the daily business activities of this owner, we injected FlexiSpan and Polyurethane crack injection to fix the crack and installed a CleanSpace membrane to block humidity and water vapor.
