Water was seeping into this house in Sainte-Geneviève at the foot of the foundation.
The sump pump was installed in a sump hole that was not sealed. Dirt penetrated and moisture escaped.
Our client could not install an outdoor French drain because there was landscaping and a stone deck on the outside perimeter of the house where the water was seeping.
We have solved the problem and made the basement dry at all times, thanks to our complete waterproofing solution.
In order to remove the water effectively, we installed the TripleSafe system which provides triple protection. Then we installed our WaterGuard indoor drain system to prevent water infiltration from entering the living space of the basement.
Our ThermalDry system was then installed to create a thermal break and spaces to drain water while preventing water vapor from entering the basement.
Water was seeping into our client’s basement during freeze and thaw cycles.
The land now is sloping towards the wall. And in winter there are puddles caused by the thaw near the foundations.
We went to this place after scheduling a free inspection day and solved our customer’s problem.
As a start, we installed our WaterGuard Indoor Drainage System. The WaterGuard Internal Drain is installed at the joint between the wall and the footing of the foundation and is covered with concrete to blend into the decor.
Then our SuperSump pump system is connected to the WaterGuard. The SuperSump system is a sump pump liner that is unobtrusive and not bulky. You can put your things on it without being afraid that something will fall in it.
Once completed, we have installed the ThermalDry floor system which is an inorganic mat resistant to water and moisture.
This customer's existing sump pump was causing too much humidity and odours in the basement, especially because the pit is open. In addition, having a plastic pump which overheats, a ball on a wire floater which gets stuck, and no back-up system left the client vulnerable to basement floods. We replaced this with our SuperSump system and a back-up Ultrasump system. Now this homeowner can have peace of mind, that the water will be diverted away from his basement, even if there is a power outtage!
This customer contacted us because he wanted to change his sump pump. So we sent one of our certified specialists in basement waterproofing and he presented him with several options that could meet his demands.
This Blainville customer finally opted for our TripleSafe pump. This sump pump system has three pumps, so three more protection against possible flooding or water infiltration.
The first pump is used to pump water under normal conditions.
In case your main pump breaks down or is at maximum capacity, the second pump will take over and help the main pump to evacuate the water. In addition, this system is accompanied by a third pump in case there is a failure of the sump system or if there is a tripping of the circuit breaker.
In short, equipped with the TripleSafe system, this Blainville client will have no fear and can have a peace of mind, because his basement is equipped with an excellent system.
Mr. Pomerleau contacted us because his basement was experiencing water infiltration. After our free inspection, our specialist found the perfect solution for our client. Our team installed an interior foundation drain under the concrete slab. Then we installed a SuperSump, which is a sump pump system that can be installed with a battery backup pump. Then, to prevent flooding due to frozen pipes in winter, we installed an IceGuard system that provides a second flow path for water.
