Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing & Drain Installation in Montreal

Water infiltration became a nightmare for Mrs. Emma, a home resident in Montreal. After finding us on google, Mrs. Emma contacted Basement Systems Quebec, in order to have the condition of her basement assessed by a specialist. Following her call, we sent a team of experienced technicians who installed a WaterGuard internal foundation drain system, a SuperSump sump pump system a CleanSpace membrane designed to create an ultra-resistant barrier against moisture. After the installation, Mrs. Emma was very glad since she was able to benefit properly from her basement without worrying about any water infiltration problems ever again.
