Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Fixing a wet basement in Carignan, Qc
Mold thrives in a wet basement, and besides irritating people with asthma and mold allergies, studies show that prolonged exposure to mold can actually cause asthma,
This area in Carignan was constantly filled water, thus mold and bacteria spread.
In order to fix all those problems, our clients contacted us and we suggested a full waterproofing system from an interior drainage system’ the Waterguard’.
By installing an interior perimeter drainage system around the inside of the basement along the wall, you can capture water at the most common point of entry - the floor/wall joint.
Then we connect our interior drainage system to one of our best sump pumps the SuperSump pump. ‘If you can't count on your sump system to be powerful or reliable enough, then you can't count on a dry basement’

When you notice traces of water and moisture in your concrete floor, this is a sign that groundwater is leaking into your home. This is detrimental to your construction and the air quality of the space.

A sump pump that is not airtight may drain the intercepted water, but it will not block the water vapor that escapes from the sump hole.
