Below you can find more details about this job.

Water Seepage in a basement in Knowlton

The most common cause of basement leaks is pressure created by water in the soil surrounding the foundation.

Damp crawl space in Knowlton

Moisture problems in crawl spaces are usually caused by water seepage through cracks in the foundation or through the porous concrete of the foundation itself.

Moisture in a crawl space

Crawl space moisture is a serious issue and can lead to health problems for you and your family.

Interior drainage system installed in the basement

The internal drain is installed at the foot of the foundation in order to intercept the water which infiltrates under the slab and at the foot of the foundation (wall-sole joint).

Installation of the sump pump

The drain is then connected to a well where the lining is installed which houses the sump pump.

SuperSump pump installed

This system makes it possible to evacuate water far from the house effectively.

The ultra-sump battery backup

This system provides you long-lasting protection from power outages, sump pump failures, blown fuses, and similar issues.

CleanSpace vapor barrier

The CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane blocks water vapors from the concrete pores. The wall is thus protected and the water will no longer humidify the space.

Iceguard Accessory inserted

The patented design of the Iceguard allows water to escape through its holes. This unique feature provides an exit when pipe closures are blocked, usually by ice or snow.
