Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

We have replaced our client’s old sump pump system with our company’s SmartSump pump since their existing one wasn’t working properly and water was always flooding during heavy rain season!

In addition the old pump does not have an airtight lid and transmits water vapor that is infected with bacteria and mold spores.

This basement in Sherbrooke had water seepage that was coming through some cracks in the foundation.

In this case the leak was obvious, since our client was always noticing a pool of water on the floor.

After contacting our company, we sent our team for a free inspection, and therefore we suggested the installation of our interior drainage system’ the Waterguard’.

An exterior drainage system can do extensive damage to your lawn and cost you a lot of money while an interior drain system will eliminate those elements and do an amazing job at keeping your basement dry.

When waterproofing your basement, your water heater can remain a threat. A preventative solution must be found to not have the problem of the water heater flooding and further damaging the basement.

Here's what to do to protect your place from leaking water from a water heater.

FloodRing is a product that is easily installed around the water heater. It is a 4-inch high ring sealed to the floor that will contain any leaking water and redirect it to the drain.

This product is not very expensive and easy to install when installing your indoor drain system. This is especially beneficial because the water heater must be changed often during the life of the house, and often when it starts to sink it can be time to change it.

In many cases, the damage has already been done... Preventing water damage is better than healing.

Mr. St-Laurent, a resident of Compton, Quebec, grappled with basement humidity issues. Turning to the internet for a solution, he discovered our website, which offered various remedies for basement moisture. Encouraged, he completed our request form. Promptly, we reached out to him, scheduling a complimentary quote and inspection. Our specialist, Jorge, conducted a thorough assessment of the troublesome basement. He proposed a solution comprising 153ft of WaterGuard interior basement drain, CleanSpace vapor barrier, a TripleSafe sump pump system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and 40ft of SilverGlo insulation. Accepting Jorge's proposal, Mr. St-Laurent agreed to the installation date. Foreman Felix journeyed to Compton on the appointed day to commence the work. Initially, he installed the TripleSafe™ sump pump in a pit. Subsequently, he excavated a trench along the basement walls and laid the WaterGuard. Then, he applied SilverGlo insulation and the CleanSpace vapor barrier to cover all basement walls. Finally, he installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, connecting it to the sump pump, and filled all trenches with cement. With the dedicated efforts of our team at Basement Systems Quebec, Mr. St-Laurent can now bid farewell to worries about basement humidity.

Water was infiltrating in the joint between the floor and the wall in this basement in Bon-Conseil.

The floor under the floor slab was getting wet, which was evaporating and moistening the concrete, leaving traces. When traces of water are visible, it is because the water has found a way to penetrate your basement.

We solved the problem by installing an interior waterproofing solution consisting of an inside drain that we install on the perimeter of the foundation on the footing, as well as a sump pump system that evacuates the collected water far from your home.
