Our Basement Waterproofing Solutions in Kirkland
Basements are a common spot for water intrusion in homes due to the soil around them. When soil gets wet, dries out, or is displaced, it can cause shifting around the basement and lead to cracks or other vulnerabilities in the exterior wall. Though this is a common problem, the right solution for your home can be a unique combination of techniques and products. Thankfully we carry all of the most up-to-date basement waterproofing products available, including sump pumps, perimeter drains, wall repair products, and more.
Don't let water intrusion stop you from using your basement the way you want to. Whether it's a simple storage area or you're looking to finish the space, keeping it dry will do wonders for the long-term health of your home.

We can improve and transform all aspects of your basement, including the walls, floors, ceiling, insulation measures, and finishing touches to give it your special flare.

Foundation Repair & Structural Improvements by Systèmes Sous-sol Québec
Foundation problems can affect your entire home in significant ways. If the foundation shifts out of place, it can no longer properly support your home and may result in slanted floors, cracked walls, cracked ceilings, windows and doors sticking in place, and more. Similarly, when your foundation is cracked it can allow for serious water intrusion or pest infestations. Both pests and water use foundation cracks as their way into your home where they wreak havoc, especially when mold begins to grow. What starts as mold or mildew around the foundation can negatively affect whole-home air quality from top to bottom and result in wood-rot, compromising the structural integrity of your home.
Foundation products & services we offer:
- Push pier systems
- Helical foundation piers
- Crawl space supports
- Basement wall anchors
With our full suite of foundation repair products, we can address almost any foundation problem you may be having. Unsure about the health of your home's foundation? Start with a free inspection and cost estimate from us.
Crawl Space Encapsulation, Sealing, & Other Repair Services
Systèmes Sous-sol Québec installs the unbeatable CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system that will take your crawl space from dirty and useless to clean and usable storage space. In addition to sealing off your crawl space and making it waterproof, we also offer crawl space jacks for structural support and prevention of sagging crawl space ceilings— this will also help prevent sagging of floors above the crawl space. To finish off your new crawl space, we also install access wells and thermal insulation to protect your property.
The CleanSpace® system completely transforms your dirt floor crawl space into a sealed environment, dramatically reducing the humidity levels. Lower humidity levels can reduce or eliminate mold growth, rot, and pests from your crawl space. This ensures long-term home health and air quality, starting with your crawl space. We offer free estimates on any of our crawl space encapsulation and repair services in Kirkland.

Mr. Cloghesy has lived in his house for 4 years and had a moisture problem in his earthen crawl space. Moisture from the crawl space spreads to upper floors and sometimes creates a foul odor. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to install a vapor barrier in his crawl space in order to regain the comfort of his home and use the space as storage.
To solve our client's problem, our experts installed our drainage membrane as well as our CleanSpace coating. The drainage membrane is installed on the earthen floor, it creates a drainage space for water to flow to the interior French drain or sump pump system. Ideal for covering earthen and rocky ground, it creates an air space which acts as a thermal protection giving a certain insulation value. Next, our 20mm thick CleanSpace liner is a blend of high and low density polyethylene making it puncture resistant and flexible. It thus blocks moisture from the basement and gives a clear and clean appearance to the crawl space.
With this solution, Mr. Cloghesy will be able to find the comfort of his home and use his crawl space as storage space.
This house in Kirkland started to witness signs of sagging floors, such as sloping floors, cracks in interior walls, and gaps between existing columns and girders in the crawl space.
So he knew that this might be dangerous and started looking for a company that might end this nightmare.
After finding our company, we sent our team to inspect his area for free and we informed him that he needed to stabilize his foundation.
We have stabilized this failed foundation by installing 9 support piles.
Support pillars are the best option when earth conditions are unknown. They make it possible to raise the foundation towards its initial position, to minimize the disturbances during the installation which is done quickly, and that solves the problem once and for all.
For this client, we have carried out the installation of the support pillars from the outside and had to excavate, but it is possible to do it from the inside too.
When Mr. Micheal called us this year, he was really upset and tired of having to deal with water seepage every year during freeze and thaw cycles.
He also told us that now the land is now sloping towards the wall.
Also in winter, he was always seeing puddles caused by thaw near the foundations!
We went to our customer's place for a free inspection, and during the inspection, our specialist noticed the damage that the groundwater infiltration caused to the floor. The space was very wet.
In order to solve this problem, we informed him that he needs to waterproof the basement and finish the floor.
We started by installing the WaterGuard Indoor Drainage System. The WaterGuard Internal Drain is installed at the joint between the wall and the footing of the foundation and is covered with concrete to blend into the decor.
Then our discreet SuperSump pump system is connected to the WaterGuard. The SuperSump system is a sump pump liner that is unobtrusive and not bulky. You can put your things on it without being afraid that something will fall in it.
Once completed, we have installed the ThermalDry floor system which is an inorganic mat resistant to water and moisture. The ThermalDry modular tiles are approximately 12 square inches. They are lifted by pegs before they are not directly on the concrete slab, allowing the soil to breathe.
Mr. Salvatore from Kirkland contacted us in many years ago asking about our waterproofing system
Initially, he wanted to waterproof and encapsulate a cold room in his house that was having problems with water infiltration.
So we sent our specialist Peter to do a problem assessment, he recommended and then installed the CleanSpace (vapor barrier membrane) solution.
After a few years, and since our customer was happy with our work, Mr. Salvatore called us again to express his concerns about his foundation.
So when our specialist inspected the place, he noted a problem of sinking at the foundation wall.
When you see a crack like on your foundation, it may be a sign that the foundation wall is moving. When there is movement at ground level, there is a risk of subsidence that can harm your home.
The best solution is to install a permanent solution as we did in this job in Kirkland.
The PushPier pillar is a patented product and it features an outer sleeve that reinforces the pillar device directly under the support which is the most critical place.
After the installation, this house is now stable again.
