Sump Pump Installation Photo Album: Waterproofing a basement in Saint-Apollinaire, Qc
Mr. Cloutier contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, because his exterior drain was no longer working and there was water infiltration in his basement. On big rainy days, he might have nearly an inch of water in his basement. He was looking for a solution to waterproof his basement so that it was dry at all times.
The solution
-TripleSafe sumppump system. It is the most efficient as it contains 3 pumps including a battery back-up pump, in the case of a power failure.
- WaterGuard interior drain system. They dug a trench all along the basement walls to put in some gravel and then our WaterGuard. It collects water from the floor and walls and directs it directly to the existing sump pump system.
With this solution, Mr. Cloutier no longer has to worry and can have peace of mind, because his basement will be dry at all times.
