Before & After Photos

Water was seeping into our client’s basement during freeze and thaw cycles.

The land now is sloping towards the wall. And in winter there are puddles caused by the thaw near the foundations.

We went to this place after scheduling a free inspection day and solved our customer’s problem.

As a start, we installed our 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 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.

What are the characteristics of an efficient interior drainage system?

- It is designed not to clog and to be positioned on the top of the soil.

- It has a 3/8 inch built-in space between the floor and the wall, to drain infiltrations from the wall.

-It does not depend on a filter cloth.

- It has a large drain outlet for the pump

- Do not cause structural damage to the foundation.

Thus, this system is connected to an airtight sump pump whose cover and lid serve as drains that allow the water to be evacuated and prevent the vapors from disengaging and humidifying the air.

The pump is therefore protected and its efficiency is optimized. The alarm system also lets you know if the volume of water exceeds the minimum level that would start the pump. Thus, in the case of a problem, you will be notified before damage occurs and you will be protected by the battery pump system that will protect your basement in the event of a breakdown.

Water was seeping into this house in Sainte-Geneviève at the foot of the foundation.

The sump pump was installed in a sump hole that was not sealed. Dirt penetrated and moisture escaped.

Our client could not install an outdoor French drain because there was landscaping and a stone deck on the outside perimeter of the house where the water was seeping.

We have solved the problem and made the basement dry at all times, thanks to our complete waterproofing solution.

In order to remove the water effectively, we installed the TripleSafe system which provides triple protection. Then we installed our WaterGuard indoor drain system to prevent water infiltration from entering the living space of the basement.

Our ThermalDry system was then installed to create a thermal break and spaces to drain water while preventing water vapor from entering the basement.

When we first met these clients, they had a very high level of humidity in their basement, mainly due to an open sump pump pit. An open pit with constantly running water is like a humidifier in your house! 

The homeowners would never know if and when their pump stopped working, so we installed our SuperSump system that comes with a WaterWatch Alarm. to let them know if their pump stopped working. In addition, the completely sealed system helped a lot in keeping the humidity levels lower in their basement.

Water coming from rain, storms, melting snow and pooling groundwater is a common cause of long-lasting wet basement problems.

Waterproofing your basement is very important and will save you lots of problems in the future!

In this job executed in Chateauguay, we have installed our Interior basement system’ the Waterguard’ that is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor; a SuperSump pump system that is one of the most efficient pumps in the market; and finally a CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through.
