Here is one of our jobs in Dorval, where we have changed the open and poorly installed sump with our SuperSump, a closed sump with a cast iron pump.
Pumps on pedestals overheat and usually make more noise since they are installed outside the sump!
Mr. Dauphin has a cold room in his basement with concrete walls and floors. When there are heavy rains, water seeps into it. He's already had up to 1 inch of water in that room. Knowing that this could happen again, he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to fix the situation.
The solution for our client is to waterproof the cold room. For this, our experts installed our WaterGuard internal drain system on the footing of the foundation and connected it to our TripleSafe sump pump system. In this way, the water from the walls flows into the WaterGuard and then is directed into the sump pump system to be ejected outside. Then, in order to remove the humidity, they put a drainage membrane on the walls and our CleanSpace membrane on top. The CleanSpace provides a barrier against water vapor and makes the room brighter.
With this solution, Mr. Dauphin has a dry cold room at all times!
Before diving into the basement of this lovely home in Roxboro, the "Before" picture details the stress caused by an old, failing sump pump — standing water, a constant worry for the homeowner. Peer into the "After" photo, transformed by Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec's expertise. We introduced the reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump, ensuring this space is now optimally dry, secure, and ready to be part of a healthy, worry-free home. Our solution not only solved the immediate concern but also empowered the homeowners with lasting peace of mind, reaffirming our mission to deliver both outstanding customer experiences and dependable results.
The most common cause of basement leaks is pressure created by the water in the soil surrounding the foundation. During periods of heavy or persistent rain, the soil can become saturated, creating hydrostatic pressure that can push moisture and water through your basement walls and floor.
So when our client from Roxboro started suffering from water leakage, he knew that he needed a professional intervention to fix this matter, so he contacted our company in order to solve this problem.
When our specialist Petru went to his place, he assured him that waterproofing the place is the best solution to end his basement problems once and for all.
The most effective way to keep water out of your basement is to install an interior drainage system as we did here, in order to minimize hydrostatic pressure.
Our WaterGuard drainage system uses the concept of a traditional French drain and incorporates a unique, patented design that prevents the system from becoming clogged.
Then we install our TripleSafe sump pump that provides three-in-one waterproofing protection. In the unlikely event that your sump pump system does fail or is overwhelmed, a built-in sump pump alarm will sound off, warning you of an issue.
If your pump needs to run constantly to keep up with particularly heavy rainfall for back-to-back days, it could stop working. This typically does not happen with the new pumps available in our company.
This is why our client in Roxboro, has replaced his old pedestal pump by our new Supersump pump system.
The SuperSump is much stronger than the pedestal pump, and It is very efficient in those heavy rain days. Its top-rated 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump offers reliability and high-volume pumping.
