Many homeowners in Saint-Constant suffer from Foundation cracks in their houses. Patching repairs are not always the best solution.
We opted to install SmartJack poles in order to stabilize the floors, and a vapor barrier to drain the water to the inner drain and have a permanent solution.
ThermalDry waterproofing membrane does not only stop humidity from dissipating into the basement but also could lead any water infiltration down to the WaterGuard. ThermalDry also reflects the heat back into the basement.
Many residents in Quebec suffer from water infiltration into their basements and our client in Saint-Constant find out that his existing sump pump was not working properly and the open sump which allowed all the moisture to rise in his basement.
Our team has installed our powerful sump system, the SuperSump, which is equipped with the best features such as a fully sealed sump, holes in the sump to drain water from the ground, a cast iron pump that performs best as well as an alarm that would sound if the water level rose too high in the sump.
This basement in Saint-Constant was dealing with serious flooding problems . Water was seeping especially during every thaw season, and cracks had started to increase in its foundation wall.
We have solved this basement problems after being contacted by our client.
After her approval, our team installed a WaterGuard interior drain system. It is a drainage system that is placed under the floor slab on the perimeter of the foundation. Then, in order to direct the water from the cracks to the WaterGuard, our team encapsulated part of the walls with our CleanSpace membrane. At last we installed a SuperSump sump pump system to pump water out of the house. Eventually, our plumber connected the drains to the city sewers.
If your sump doesn't have a lid, something we see every day in basements across the nation, it will get clogged and dirty over time and either slow down or stop entirely.
What you will need to do is to have your sump inspected to see if it's time to repair or replace it.
That is exactly what our client in Clarenceville did last year and when our team went to inspect his pedestal pump, they told him that it needs to be changed.
The TripleSafe sump pump installed is very special since it has a three-pump system to adjust automatically and meet pumping requirements besides that, its battery-powered pump will protect the place against flooding during power outages.
For 99% of us, a sump pump is our best option. Despite any stories you have heard over the years about folks getting flooded because their sump pump was on the blink again, today’s sump equipment is better than ever and very reliable.
We at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec have the best sump pumps in the market!
