PROBLEM

Persistent humidity in the basement is causing unpleasant odors, and mold stains are beginning to appear. Structural issues may arise if no action is taken in the near future.

SOLUTION

As planned, we began by installing the WaterGuard drainage system. The drain is placed on the foundation footing, away from mud and dirt to prevent clogging. Infiltrated water will be directly captured by the drain, thanks to the protruding lip that directs water from the walls directly into the system. Next, we installed our SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a reliable and high-performance 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump, a pump liner, a sealed lid, a CleanPump support, and a WaterWatch alarm. Finally, we connected our interior drain to a discharge line that will lead water outside. This discharge line includes our patented IceGuard system, designed to prevent the risk of flooding in case the line freezes during cold periods.

Our team has opted for the best solution to protect our client’s basement and solved all water infiltration problems in the area by installing our Waterguard interior drain with our company’s SuperSump that has more than 100 holes to drain the water under the slab.

Our client had a water infiltration problem in his basement. It was coming back down the stairs. Since it was a complex case, he was looking for a definitive solution for this problem.

He found the solutions of Système Sous-sol Québec on the internet and decided to take a free estimate.

Our specialist advised the installation of a complete drain perimeter called WaterGuard in order to recuperate the water that infiltrates before it spreads into the basement.

The gathered water is discharged into a sump equipped with two pumps. A main one with another that works with battery. This way, the system works even in case of a power cut.

Our client now benefits from a basement protected against water 

Having an open sump is one of the problems that will cause a high level of humidity in a basement.

This sump in East Hereford was not doing its job since at each great rain the water ended above the slab of this basement.

We have replaced this old pump with our SuperSump pump and this basement is now completely waterproofed!

This pump has a hermetically closed system (no moisture that emerges), which installs with a floor drain and an alarm system.

This customer wanted to stop having a problem with water infiltration.

SOLUTION

Our client chose the SuperSump pump which includes; 1 electric pump, 1 alarm and 1 drain. This pump includes an IceGuard. The IceGuard helps prevent the water that the pump sends outside the house from freezing. If this discharge is prevented by frozen water, it will return to the pump and break it, making it unnecessary. This water will therefore go to your basement. A Lawnscape is also often used at this water outlet to prevent soil erosion, damage surrounding landscaping and prevent entry of insects.

Each of these elements has been specifically created to collect the large amounts of rain during our Quebec springs. SuperPump can pump 2,200 gallons per hour, quietly and efficiently. Our client can now enjoy a dry basement, year round and protect his investment.
