Recently in Québec City, a homeowner was dealing with the stress of water infiltration in their basement. During the inspection, our specialist noticed the excess humidity within the basement. He explained that this situation could lead to serious structural problems. Our team quickly jumped into action, installing our WaterGuard system and SuperSump Pump. As shown in the after photo, these state-of-the-art solutions restored peace of mind, tackling the issue head-on and ensuring a dry, comfortable space. Our commitment to providing a seamless customer experience transformed a once damp basement into a secure, truly remarkable home environment.
In the city of St-Jacques-De-Leeds, this basement was severely affected by dampness, water infiltration, mold growth and foundation deterioration. To solve these waterproofing problems, we installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system, which effectively captures water before it enters the basement. To reinforce insulation and create a barrier against cold, damp air, we installed our SilverGlo insulation panels, well-known for their thermal performance. The result is a dry, well-insulated, energy-efficient basement that's suitable for moving into.
PROBLEM
Our client Mrs. Sara wanted to buy this property, but had been hesitating when she saw that there was no system in place to protect it from possible water infiltration. She didn't know if this purchase was worth it or if she might want to buy another house. When she did her research, she realized that there were quick and permanent fixes. That way she could choose her favorite house, with peace of mind. She called on experts in the field.
SOLUTION
Our experts suggested her several types of products and made their recommendation. She decided to go with what she thought gave her the most protection and she was not wrong. We chose the TripleSafe pump, connected to an IceGuard and a LawnScape. TripleSafe can pump 2,200 gallons per hour, quietly and efficiently. This product guarantees a dry basement, even in the case of water infiltration. The IceGuard and LawnScape ensure safe water exit without damaging the client's terrain. Ms. Sara also added a WaterGuard interior drainage system, which replaces the French drain. This product guarantees a dry basement, even in the case of water infiltration. Ideal for a client who has had one or more water infiltration's in the past, a client in an area prone to flooding or a client who wants to renovate or complete his basement and who wants to protect his investment.
This homeowner in Saint-Sylvere was dealing with water seepage in the basement, moisture buildup near the foundation walls, and an increased risk of flooding during heavy rains and snowmelt. To provide long-term protection for the foundation and keep the basement dry year-round, our team performed a complete basement waterproofing by installing the WaterGuard® interior drain, designed to capture water from the ground and around the foundation before it reaches the living space. We also installed a TripleSafe® sump pump system offering three levels of protection against water infiltration, even in the event of a power outage or heavy rainfall. To effectively manage surface water, a TrenchDrain® was added to vulnerable areas to collect and redirect water to the drainage system. Finally, a drain pipe equipped with the IceGuard® system was installed to allow for continuous water drainage even when the outdoor pipe freezes during the winter. Thanks to this combination of waterproofing, interior drainage, and flood protection solutions, the homeowner now enjoys a dry, healthy basement that is protected against water issues in the long term.
Problem
Damp basement, wet floor with water infiltration during the spring thaw and during heavy rains. The client does not have a sump system.
Solution
Install a drainage perimeter with our WaterGuard interior French drain and then a SuperSump sump pump system. The WaterGuard intercepts the infiltration of water and routes it into the sump, which will push the water outside the house and away from the foundation. This solution will help against water infiltration and will reduce humidity in the basement. We also recommend the installation of our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.
