Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Preventative waterproofing on a basement in Saint-Etienne-de-Bolton, Qc
PROBLEM
Mr Gary never experienced water infiltration. But as he was near the end of renovating his basement, he figured that protecting the space against water would be a smart decision. He was planning of investing a lot of time and money to complete his project and the last thing he wanted was to have his investment ruined. He reached out knowing we have been waterproofing experts since 2007.
SOLUTION
The client wanted a french drain, but when our team shared the reality of such product and what it would do to his yard, he was very dissapointed. That's when we showed him the benefits are choosing a more modern system, the WaterGuard, and the fact that it's more efficient, comes with a lifetime warranty and can be instaled inside your home. He was very pleased!
The basement had no protection against water
The issue of water in basements has been an ongoing problem since the first basement was built. Sub-floor structures like basements and crawl spaces are not perfect by design and are built on soil that constantly shifts and moves. Water collects around and under basements and can leak in through walls, floor slabs and in between the walls and floors.
SilverGlo insulation on the walls
SilverGlo is designed with high-efficiency graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. When installed on your crawl space walls, it provides an unbroken sheet of R-11 insulation for your home.
When installed, SilverGlo also provides a vapor barrier on your crawl space walls, holding back the moisture and humidity.

Installation of the WaterGuard basement drainage system
The WaterGuard basement waterproofing system from Basement Systems is an innovative interior basement drainage system designed to effectively solve your basement water problems.
The WaterGuard replacing the french drain
Unlike conventional French drains that are installed outside the foundation or alongside the footing, WaterGuard drainage piping is installed inside the basement and won't clog with silt or plant roots.
WaterGuard effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump.
