Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Interior drain installation in Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon, Qc

Mr. Gary had never had any water infiltration in his place, but when he began to completely renovate his basement, he realized that protecting it from possible infiltration would be a good idea. He was actually planning on investing a lot of time and money to finish his basement so the last thing he wanted was to see that investment ruined. So he decided to contact us, when he saw that we are one of the best waterproofing experts since 2007. The client wanted to opt for a French drain, but when our team told him about the drawbacks and what this installation would do to his land, he was a little disappointed. It was there that we explained to him that our WaterGuard drainage system was more efficient, had a lifetime warranty and that the work could be done inside the house. He was delighted!

Presence of white powder on the concrete

This white powder is usually efflorescence, with minerals found in the water that rises to the surface of the concrete. This is a sign that there is or has been water infiltration and a high percentage of humidity (over 40%).

Recommendation - waterproof your basement BEFORE renovating it

The products chosen here will guarantee a dry basement, even in case there was any water infiltration. Ideal for a client who has had one or more water infiltrations in the past, a client in an area prone to flooding or a client who wants to renovate or complete his basement and who wants to protect his investment. It is strongly suggested that you install a TripleSafe prior to basement renovations.

TripleSafe pump and UltraSump battery

The sump pump is the heart of your entire basement drainage system. And, just like the heart, if the sump pump stops working, the whole system collapses. When this happens, your basement is flooded. In order to put all your confidence in your basement waterproofing system, you must be able to rely completely on your sump pump. To this pump is added the UltraSump® battery which, when fully charged, can remove almost 45,400 liters of water. It is the equivalent of a small swimming pool. The system is equipped with an alarm which sounds when it is in emergency mode and stops when the system is closed.

Installation of 2 IceGuards for a safe water outlet

If the drains and outlets of your drainage system are outside your home, they are vulnerable to freezing in the winter. When a drain or vent freezes, water cannot flow freely and eventually backs up. The result: a flooded basement and potentially a broken sump pump from overuse. To avoid such a situation, add 1-2 IceGuard.

Installation of a LawnScape to avoid damaging the grass

In case of water infiltration or flooding, the large amount of water that will be drained can really damage your landscaping and ruin your lawn. The LawnSacpe avoids this and leaves a pleasant aestheticism, having its pipe hidden in the ground.
