Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water infiltration can quickly become a nightmare for a homeowner. Unfortunately, this was the case of a resident on the south shore of Montreal, who contacted Basement Systems Quebec in order to have his basement inspected by a specialist. Due to hydrostatic pressure, the water that accumulated around the foundation easily seeped through it and ended up on the basement floor. In order to proceed with finishing the basement in the aim of maximizing his living space, the owner wanted first to make sure to waterproof his basement before beginning any work. Therefore, he decided to call Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec’s experienced technicians to install the WaterGuard interior foundation drain system and the SuperSump sump pump system. Once the installation had been completed, this resident of Boucherville was able to proceed with finishing his basement.

This basement in Pointes-Aux-Trembles got flooded last year, and Mrs. Sylvie was really worried about her safety and the state of her house. So she called our company asking us for waterproofing solutions to end this problem.

After offering her some quick safety advice, our team scheduled the nearest day for inspecting the place!

After the inspection, we recommended the installation of the WaterGuard interior drain system. So when the water that seeps in at the joint is captured by the holes under the drain and by the gaps that allow the water in the walls to go down the drain.

In addition, we recommended the installation of a sump pump system such as the TripleSafe sump pump system to keep her basement dry with triple the protection.

Finally, by installing a CleanSpace membrane, water vapor will stop from flowing up to the soil, and into the entire house. Hence moisture will be reduced and the place will be dry again.

Our Customer from Sherbrooke had an old pump that was not sealed and covered, which was a source of moisture that was infecting the air in her house’s basement.

We have installed our company’s SuperSump pump and a CleanSpace membrane to form a complete waterproofing system.

Our client Francine who lives in Sherbrooke wanted to fix the water infiltrations and mold problems that were occurring in her basement.

She had consulted an engineer who had recommended her to the installation a french drain and waterproof her basement walls.

We did exactly that and installed a full waterproofing system that solves all these problems while complying with the engineer's recommendations.

So we installed 42 feet of WaterGuard with an inspection port and connected it to a SuperSump and UltraSump. We then covered the affected surface with our Cleanspace vapor-barrier that redirects water towards the drain and stop water vapor from condensation.

After the installation, this basement was completely waterproofed and looked very clean and healthy.

One of the major problems that cause a high level of humidity in a basement is an open sump.

Moreover, this sump in St-Bruno was not doing its job since at each great rain the water ended above the slab of this basement.

Our team changed this old pump, and replaced it with our SuperSump .

This pump has a hermetically closed system (no moisture that emerges), which is installed with a floor drain and an alarm system.
