Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Another Wet basement waterproofed in Saint-Urban-Premier, Qc

This basement in Saint-Urban-Premier was dealing with water penetration and heavy moisture. High moisture in the basement will always spread into the whole house, and this will affect badly on the tenant’s health and on their belongings. So we suggested a complete waterproofing system from an interior drainage system’ the WaterGuard’ to drain all the water penetrating inside the place; and a SuperSump pump system that will be connected to it which one of the best sump pumps in Quebec

The most common enemy of a basement is water

Whether your basement suffers from water seeping in through the walls and floors or condensation buildup, it can cause chaos for a home.

Where there is a musty odor there is mold and water and condensation can also cause wood to rot.

Beginning of our waterproofing work in Saint-Urban-Premier

In order to install the WaterGuard into our client’ss basement, our crew dug out around the inside perimeter of the foundation. Digging this way is better than digging on the outside of the foundation, it is less disruption and it is more effective at stopping water before it floods your basement.

WaterGuard installation process

Here the WaterGuard is being installed; the way that the piping system is built will allow separation from the soil under the floor, so means it will never clog. It also has a special wall flange that creates a neat space between the floor and the wall to drain any wall seepage, without allowing dirt from the floor to enter.

Now that the WaterGuard is installed into the inside foundation, the concrete is placed well over it. The WaterGuard system intercepts water at the perimeter of your basement and drains it safely away. The piping system is installed into a SmartSump, so that the basement will remain clean and dry all year long.

SuperSump pump connected to the WaterGuard

This SuperSump includes an UltraSump battery back-up which runs on a high-capacity 120 amp power pack. If you lose power, the UltraSump turns on automatically and an alarm sounds to alert you that you are on backup.
