Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Water Infiltration in Montreal East

A client from Montreal East called us one day asking us about a quote regarding her wet basement. The basement was undergoing major water infiltration by the foundation. As the client wanted to sell the house, she began to consider making her basement waterproofed so that it became a dry space, otherwise she would have difficulty selling the house. We sent one of our specialists who recommended the installation of an interior drain system on the foundation footing as well as a vapor barrier membrane and a SuperSump sump pump system. Here are some pictures of the project that show how this wet space has become a dry and usable space. Do not wait until you have to sell the house to repair it for someone else. Waterproof your basement and let the transferable warranty take care of the next owner! If there is water on your floor slab, your concrete walls and in the basement, our experts can help you solve this problem once and for all.

Problematic Sub-Surface Survey

When our specialist inspected the basement, he found that the concrete was very wet, especially on the slab.

Joint Wall-Sole Brings Water

As the walls are poured after the slab has dried, a seal is created allowing the water to infiltrate through this space.

Vapor Barrier Membrane

The CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane is installed on the wall to prevent water vapor from passing through the concrete and moistening the basement.

SuperSump Sump Pump Installation

The SuperSump is a sump pump liner installed in the ground and connected to the inner drain to eliminate water that is trying to seep into the basement through the foot of the foundation.

A Hermetic and Waterproof System

Wet water and vapors will not come out of the system because the lid is airtight. In addition, nothing will fall into the system and block the pump or switch, allowing the system to remain silent.
