Having an old sump pump in your basement will not guarantee you that all the water will be pumped out the place, especially when there is too much rain or flood.
Mr. Cote had an old sump pump, and he felt that it was not enough, since the basement was always flooding, so he contacted us because he was interested in our patented systems.
When our specialist went to his place, he recommended the TripleSafe system which contains 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. This third pump is powered by a rechargeable battery and the SmartWatch alarm alerts you when the emergency battery is running.
This system is the best on the market and nothing is comparable to it.
Our client was very pleased with the installation and the peace of mind that the TripleSafe brings her.
This basement in Mont-Tremblant was very humid due to water infiltration. Mr. Mendez said that he saw mold stains on the walls.
Our client did not have a sump pump system in his basement so we installed a SuperSump sump pump system which includes a 1/2 HP Zoeller cast iron pump as well as a WaterGuard interior French drain. The WaterGuard is laid on the foundation footing all along the walls to collect water from the foundation walls and soil to direct it to the SuperSump.
The problem
Water infiltration in the crawl space of Mr. Batah's house; an earthen floor that lets moisture out and a non-functional pedestal pump.
The solution
We removed the old pump in order to install our SmartSump sump pump system. We have covered the earthen floor with a drainage membrane that will be able to direct water to the SmartSump and that will add some insulation value. Next, we added a CleanSpace vapor barrier coating on top of the drainage membrane to insulate the earthen floor of the house and block moisture from the floor. Finally, we installed our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity level.
The expanded polystyrene SilverGlo insulation contains graphite particles that reflect heat and preserve it inside your basement. Thus, the insulation has a lower thermal conductivity, but a higher R-value per inch. The graphite infused polystyrene interior foam resists heat flow. Finally, the radiant barrier reflects the heat inside for ultimate savings in energy consumption.
This commercial building in Kahnawake had water and air coming in from a crack in the wall. To solve this issue affecting the daily business activities of this owner, we injected FlexiSpan and Polyurethane crack injection to fix the crack and installed a CleanSpace membrane to block humidity and water vapor.
