Our Basement Waterproofing Solutions in Oka
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.

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 Oka.

Being close to the Lake of Two Mountains, our clients in Oka were hit hardly by the floods in 2019 and their basement was completely flooded. This living space was unusable anymore.
In order to be able to refinish their basement, they looked for a permanent solution that would leave their basement dry, for good, and found our system on the internet.
After understanding their needs and inspecting their basement, our specialist recommended a full perimeter WaterGuard internal drain system to replace the existing and malfunctionning French Drain. The system was adapted by adding a CactusBoard membrane and going around obstacles in the basement such as the immovable heating system that was in place.
Our basement specialist also decided to install 2 of our best sump pump system, the Triplesafe, when usually one should be enough, due to the high risk of being near the lake and having a high water table.
Finally, having had to cut the damaged and moldy Gyprock walls, we replaced the cut part of the basement walls with our Everlast Wall Restoration walls, which is the best product to finish a basement as it could never be affected by humidity and which comes with the longest warranty in the market.
Our clients in Oka are now very happy and at ease that they can use their basement without having to worry about any future water problems.
Our clients from Oka did not know much about basement waterproofing. But their problems started last year when they felt a high level of moisture in their basement that they were using constantly.
They also witnessed water on the floor in addition to a white powder that turned out to be efflorescence that exists due to water presence.
This family had already an old pedestal pump but seems that it was not doing its job properly, and all the moisture was coming out into the living place.
In order to deal with these problems, our clients contacted our professionals and asked us for solutions.
Our interior drainage system known as the ‘WaterGuard’ is designed to effectively solve basement water problems. Unlike traditional French drains that are installed outside the foundation or alongside the footing, WaterGuard piping won't clog with silt or plant roots.
Then we installed our TripleSafe system that has 3 pumps in a single hermetic coating. The first pump operates under normal conditions. The second pump starts if there is a problem with the first pump or if the flow and volume of water are too big and fast for the first one. So during heavy rains, you are protected by two pumps. If this bad weather also brings a power failure, a pump that does not run on battery will not protect you
Our client was very pleased with the installation and the peace of mind that our products offered.
If you're buying a home, it's important to have your home inspector check out the crawl space before you sign on the dotted line.
Our client who lives in Oka started having floods in his crawl space during springtime and there was the presence of mold that developed everywhere.
Water and moisture were damaging the foundation and the concrete of the place.
Our specialist Eugene was able to perform a full inspection and recommend the best solution.
Our team started work by decontaminating the entire crawl space to eliminate mold and fungi.
Then we encapsulated the crawl space in order to protect it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane which is a membrane that insulates the house from the earth.
The CleanSpace membrane is specially designed for crawl spaces: it is thick, sturdy, tear-resistant and contains an antibacterial additive.
And finally, we stabilized the foundations with our SmartJacks galvanized steel support beams. These beams support the joists and will be highly resistant to the hostile environment of the crawl space.
