Water infiltration every thaw season in Brossard, QC

Challenge

Our client, Lee, who lives in Brossard, had a water infiltration problem in his basement since every year the foundation of his basement lets in a little water.

Having installed a wooden floor, this excess humidity eventually caused it to rot.

In order to find a permanent solution to his problem, our client did a search on the internet, compared different solutions and finally chose Systèmes Sous-sol Québec.

After making an appointment with our specialist, we took the time to fully understand his problem and offered him solutions adapted to his needs.

To do this, our specialist suggested installing an ElitePlank floor. It is made of inorganic materials that never rot. Even if there is a flood, the floor retains its quality.

Solution

To protect his basement from seasonal flooding, an interior French drain system was installed. The WaterGuard system addresses the main defect of the traditional French drain, debris and soil accumulated that end up clogging the drain. With an interior drain system, access for cleaning is easy and keeps its drainage system operational.

To evacuate the water, our specialist proposed the installation of a Super Pump equipped with a pump that has a high volume of water evacuation in order to protect his basement. It is equipped with various alarm systems that alert owners in case of a problem before suffering from the flood.

Thanks to these solutions, our client benefits from a basement protected from flooding and from a floor that is resistant to mold and humidity.
