In West Bolton, QC, a homeowner faced the challenge of a clogged French drain, turning their basement into an unwelcome water feature, as seen in our 'before' picture. With our mission to deliver outstanding results and ensure long-lasting satisfaction, we tackled the problem head-on. Our solution? A comprehensive WaterGuard drainage system, paired with the robust protection of the SuperSump sump pump and sealed with CleanSpace for moisture control. Notice the transformation in the 'after' photo— a dry, comfortable, and usable space, testament to our commitment to quality and our customer's peace of mind.

We once received the following customer request: "I want to have an inspection of my basement, because I have a problem of water infiltration and an external drain is not a possibility for us". No problem, interior drains are our specialty! So we sent our basement waterproofing expert Andrew to do a complete assessment of this damaged basement and to recommend the most effective solution for dealing with this problem from the inside.

Then we sent a crew to start the installations. They started by sealing a crack with FlexiSpan. Next, they installed a 143-foot perimeter of WaterGuard interior drain and then added a CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane to the walls. Finally, to dehumidify and purify the air, we installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier!

Caught in the damp clutches of excess moisture, this Waterloo basement was far from the safe, dry space the homeowner hoped for. Our team was quick to get the necessary renovations. By expertly installing our robust WaterGuard and SuperSump systems, we not only reclaimed this space from moisture's grip but also secured its dryness for the future. Glance at the after photo to see the remarkable transformation—a true testament to our mission of providing durable solutions and exceptional customer experiences.

Problem

Water was still to seep into our client's basement, despite him redoing his french drain recently. During the free inspection, our specialist Jorge explained that the French drain, despite its popularity, can have certain limitations. It can get clogged due to the accumulation of soil inside. Besides, its maintenance is costly and time-consuming, which requires excavation.

Solution

- We installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system around the perimeter of the basement, on the foundation footing. The WaterGuard pipes have a 3/8-inch protruding flange to channel water from the walls directly into the system. Additionally, the WaterGuard system features a series of openings for easy access to the drains for cleaning, inspection, or repairs.

- We connected the drain to our revolutionary SuperSump sump pump, which, thanks to the Zoeller pump, can absorb up to approximately 14,500 liters of water per hour.

- We installed a discharge line with our IceGuard system to prevent any flooding in case of freezing of the discharge line.
