Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: A waterproofed basement in Prevost, Quebec

Mrs. Julie from Prevost has called us early this year telling us about her concerns regarding major problems happening in her house. Water leakage every spring, the high moisture level in her basement and her house as well, and mold growth were all subjects that need to be fixed for good! After this call, we sent our team for an area examination, and to offer more information about our products and installation process. Below you can find all the details about our installation

We start digging for the interior drainage system

The installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench.
