Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

To repair a crack in a concrete wall effectively and permanently, it is necessary to use a product that will not harden and crack again. When this crack is not a structural problem, we seal it with a product called FlexiSpan.

First, we plug the crack with urethane to block water infiltration and close the crack. Then, the first sealant of polyurethane ether foam is applied to drain the water that is found inside to the dry well.

Finally, the FlexiSpan sealant is made of polyurethane and is a gray color. It is a product that once affixed, becomes rubbery. This allows the crack not to let the water penetrate the basement even if it increases with time. The well is closed to finalize the project.

Another dry basement and a repaired crack!

PROBLEM

Persistent humidity in the basement is causing unpleasant odors, and mold stains are beginning to appear. Structural issues may arise if no action is taken in the near future.

SOLUTION

As planned, we began by installing the WaterGuard drainage system. The drain is placed on the foundation footing, away from mud and dirt to prevent clogging. Infiltrated water will be directly captured by the drain, thanks to the protruding lip that directs water from the walls directly into the system. Next, we installed our SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a reliable and high-performance 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump, a pump liner, a sealed lid, a CleanPump support, and a WaterWatch alarm. Finally, we connected our interior drain to a discharge line that will lead water outside. This discharge line includes our patented IceGuard system, designed to prevent the risk of flooding in case the line freezes during cold periods.

Our team has opted for the best solution to protect our client’s basement and solved all water infiltration problems in the area by installing our Waterguard interior drain with our company’s SuperSump that has more than 100 holes to drain the water under the slab.

Our client had a water infiltration problem in his basement. It was coming back down the stairs. Since it was a complex case, he was looking for a definitive solution for this problem.

He found the solutions of Système Sous-sol Québec on the internet and decided to take a free estimate.

Our specialist advised the installation of a complete drain perimeter called WaterGuard in order to recuperate the water that infiltrates before it spreads into the basement.

The gathered water is discharged into a sump equipped with two pumps. A main one with another that works with battery. This way, the system works even in case of a power cut.

Our client now benefits from a basement protected against water
