Our client was in the process of purchasing this property in Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon, Qc and wanted to make sure that her investment was protected in case of water infiltration or flooding.
So she decided to follow the recommendations of our team of experts and go with a complete and solid solution.
We installed the TripleSafe pump, connected to an IceGuard and a LawnScape. This pump included; 3 pumps (2 electric, 1 battery), 2 alarms and 1 drain. This product guarantees a dry basement, even in the case of water infiltration. The IceGuard and LawnScape provide safe water exit without damaging the client's terrain. Ms. Sara also added a WaterGuard interior drain system, which replaces the French drain. Each of these elements has been specifically created to collect the large amounts of rain during our Quebec springs.
Ms. Nadia had moved into this house last year and from the start she had problems with water infiltration. Yet she had bought a property that already had a sump pump. So she thought her basement was protected and waterproofed.
Mrs. Nadia did several researches to realize that there were several solutions and models of pump and she decided to contact us for good a advice.
Our certified waterproofing specialist has completed his full assessment, lasting nearly 2 hours, making sure nothing is missing as the cause of this water entry. He agreed that there was regular water infiltration and that installing a new pump would be the solution to the problem. We recommended the SuperSump pump, which can evacuate 8,300 liters of water per hour. The basement has remained dry ever since.
This basement in Beaconsfield was having problems such as high humidity, moisture and growth of mold.
In order to fix this problem, our team went for a free inspection and noticed that the existing sump pump was not effective. Actually a sump pump system that does not have an airtight lid will allow bacteria and mold spores to spread into the area.
In addition, the pump was not very effective during flood and heavy rain period. Furthermore our team recommended changing this sump pump into one of the best sump pumps in the market which is the SuperSump pump.
The SuperSump pump system features a Zoeller sump pump system and our durable sump pump liner. The SuperSump's is available in ⅓ and ½ HP pump models, which are able to pump out 2,200 and 3,900 gallons, respectively.
The problem
Water infiltration in the basement that is frequent. The water comes from the cracks that are on the foundation walls and the joint between the foundation footing and the wall that became frequent with every rain. Mr. Bordeleau already had up to 4 inches of water in his basement and he had to pull everything out in order to redo his basement.
He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to have a permanent and reliable basement waterproofing solution.
The solution
To resolve our customer's issue, we first removed the customer's old sump pump that was no longer working to install our SuperSump sump pump system. It includes a Zoeller pump and a battery pump that will trigger in the event of a power failure. Next, we installed a WaterGuard interior foundation drain system. It is placed on the foundation footing and its purpose is to collect water from the walls and soil for delivery to the SuperSump sump pump system. We installed our CleanSpace coating on the foundation wall to prevent moisture from the walls from spreading into the basement.
With this solution, Mr. Bordeleau now has a dry basement.
Problem:
Mr. Eugène reached out because the pump in his basement stopped working after a heavy rainstorm. Our specialist, Houssem, visited Ste-Marguerite-Du-Lac-Masson for a free inspection. After detailed examination of the basement, Houssem explained that the current pump had worn out due to being used excessively. Essentially, it couldn't handle the amount of water that seeped in. The solution lays in installing our TripleSafe sump pump, connected to our interior drainage system, WaterGuard.
Solution:
Upon Mr. Eugène's approval, our team of workers led by Felix installed 60 feet of WaterGuard pipes within the basement. In addition, we set up our TripleSafe sump pump, which includes three pumps: the primary one with a 1/3HP cast-iron alternating current, a secondary 1/2HP cast-iron alternating current pump for backup, and a third pump UltraSump positioned, designed to keep working even during power outages.
