Sump Pump Installation Before & After Photos

Mr. Paquin in Verdun, Quebec called us because he needed an upgrade for the 10-year-old sump pump system in his basement. He was looking for a system with a backup battery in case of a power failure. We offered to come by for a free inspection and our specialist Patrick went by to check things out. After assessing the situation, Patrick decided that the best course of action would be to install a new drainage system. Our experts first installed a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to drain the water from the basement. They then installed a LawnScape™ discharge line outlet system at the end of the buried discharge line. Finally, our experts installed an IceGuard® Sump Pump Discharge Line System to prevent water from flowing back into the home, even if the discharge line is coated in ice or snow.

The problem

Mr. Sirois noticed a high humidity in the house, cold air on the main floor coming from the floor and some places of the hardwood floor on the main floor was no longer at level. The cause was the humidity in the crawl space. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to add a good vapor barrier membrane, clean the crawl space to improve air quality and reduce the humidity.

The solution

Adding a SmartSump sump pump system, a drainage membrane and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Most of the moisture in the crawl space comes from the earthen floor that contains water and it can come also from the walls. The SmartSump will therefore be able to remove water from the ground outside and away from the foundation. The drainage membrane, on the other hand, is placed on the ground and makes it possible to drain the water that is on the surface towards the sump pump system. The CleanSpace coating which acts as a vapor barrier is placed over the drainage membrane and blocks moisture from the ground.

PROBLEM

There was an unfinished part within the basement, resembling a crawlspace, was excessive humidity with uncomfortable odors. We identified several mold spots, as well as efflorescence. 

SOLUTION

1) Encapsulation of the problematic area to eliminate harmful moisture and the installation of a sump pump.

CleanSpace system: It involves covering the floor and walls with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier above. The drainage membrane has a dimpled surface that helps transport infiltrated water to the sump pump. The vapor barrier prevents the evaporation of infiltrated water, thus eliminating excessive humidity. This barrier also includes an antimicrobial additive, preventing mold growth.

Installing SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, a pump liner, a cover, a sealed sump basin, and a WaterWatch alarm to prevent any potential disasters.

Problem

Mrs. Quesnel suffered from water damage in her basement because her sump pump stopped working.

Solution

Replacing her sump pump system with our TripleSafe. The TripleSafe includes 3 pumps, one of which is battery operated in case of a power failure. It's our most efficient sump pump system and gives you the peace of mind. We connected our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to it to control the level of humidity in the basement.

Mr. F. owned a beautiful house in Montpellier, but wanted to use it basement area as a storage room, but failed to do so due to water infiltration in the place.

Furthermore this client contacted us to talk about his problem of infiltrations of water in the basement and our company sent our expert Alexandre for a free inspection and after checking up the place he recommended the installation of the TripleSafe pump sump which is best sump pump system in the market because it contains 3 pumps in its hermetic coating.

One that runs under normal conditions, a second one when the water flow is too fast or the volume too big and the third one work with an emergency battery when you have a power failure during a rain storm.
