This crawl space in Baie-D’urfe got flooded during spring time and there was presence of mold that developed everywhere.
Water and moisture was damaging the foundation and the concrete of the place.
We sent our specialist Jerry to perform a full inspection and recommend the best solution.
We started by decontaminating the entire crawl space to eliminate mold and fungi.
And since encapsulation will allow the crawl space to be protected at all times, our team encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane which is a membrane that insulates the house from the earth. And have also added the SilverGlo that sheds water and will not support mold growth or provide a home for pests.
And finally, we stabilized the foundations with our SmartJacks galvanized steel support beams. These beams support the joists and will be highly resistant to the hostile environment of the crawl space.
Mr. Simon in Baie-D’Urfe knew that he needed to waterproof his basement for it was always getting wet, but he kept postponing this issue, until one day his friend, who was our client, told him about our company and informed him that a wet basement is bad for his family’s health, since water moisture gets into the whole house, allowing mold to grow, in addition, critters, water bugs, termites, and other insects thrive on water leakage.
After contacting our company to get an idea about our products, we have informed him that he can get a free inspection. So our specialist Mr. Michel scheduled a meeting with him and after the examination, he suggested a complete waterproofing system.
The system includes a WaterGuard interior drain; the WaterGuard will capture water that infiltrates through the floor and foundation walls; a TripleSafe pump that has 3 pump systems and will adjust automatically to meet pumping requirements; a Discharge line to keep the water out and away from the basement.
Here is another unfortunate customer due to underground water infiltration in the basement. Nobody appreciates the damage of water!
When this customer finally decided to solve the problem, he called us to take the opinion of one of our specialists in waterproofing. As a result, we solved the problem by installing a complete waterproofing system that includes the WaterGuard interior drain, CleanSpace vapor barrier, SuperSump sump pump system, and IceGuard and LawnScape discharge line accessories. We are always proud to solve problems of infiltration of water in an efficient way.
Problem
Ms. Mitchell had problems with water infiltration in her basement, in addition to having several foundation cracks through which water had seeped.
Solution
In order to solve the problems of water infiltration and humidity in our client's basement, we installed our WaterGuard interior foundation drain system throughout the foundation walls. Then, we installed a SuperSump sump pump system.
If you are using your basement for storage, it is important to protect your belongings so that they are not damaged by water infiltration. When a basement is at risk, an airtight coating for the pump is a necessity to prevent any water infiltration from entering the habitable and usable space.
We installed our patented hermetic SuperSump coating and a Zoeller sump pump. This waterproofing system keeps the basement dry and protects it from infiltration of underground water so that it can be used safely. Finally, we installed IceGuard and LawnScape which are products that we add to the water discharge line to allow the water to be evacuated in case that pipe freezes.
