In Mr. Birks' basement, there were 2 cracks on the walls of his foundation. When it rained or simply when he turned on his garden hose, water would pass through these cracks and create water infiltration inside. Our client wanted to finish his basement and in order to do that he had to repair these cracks. He therefore contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a quick solution to eliminate this water infiltration.
Our experts started by injecting polyurethane into the cracks. This resin goes deep into the cracked wall, unlike methods that simply repair the surface, and goes down to the ground outside. Following the injection, they installed our FlexiSpan wall crack repair system to stop water from coming in.
Polyurethane injection combined with FlexiSpan is a permanent solution to keep wall cracks dry.
Issue:
Mr. Anderson had an old faulty pump that needed to be replaced.
Solution:
Our team replaced his old pump with a more powerful SuperSump. Then the plumber connected the pump to the city sewer.
When the homeowner in Pointe-Claire, QC, wrestled with excess humidity in their basement, they knew it was time to call us. As you can see in the before photo, the space was hardly usable, bogged down by moisture issues. But look at the transformation! After our team stepped in, installing our WaterGuard, SuperSump, the after photo speaks volumes. No more dampness, no more mustiness – just a dry, comfortable basement ready for any purpose. We’re proud to deliver not just a fix, but a lasting solution and peace of mind.
The SuperSump is one of the best sump pump systems you can have at home. This system contains the most reliable pump, the WaterWatch alarm system and a patented waterproofed cover. The SupeSump is clean and nothing can infiltrate it. You can store goods on top without breaking it, saving you space. The Zoeller pump inside can drain 2650 gallons of water per hour. The alarm system sounds when the water level rises higher than normal so that you have time to react to this risk before damage occurs. The ultra-resistant polyethylene coating contains 96 holes that allow water that travels through the soil to be intercepted. Finally, the waterproof cover allows the water to be captured without the vapors emerge and humidify the space.
The most common cause of basement leaks is pressure created by the water in the soil surrounding the foundation. During periods of heavy or persistent rain, the soil can become saturated, creating hydrostatic pressure that can push moisture and water through your basement walls and floor.
So when our client from Roxboro started suffering from water leakage, he knew that he needed a professional intervention to fix this matter, so he contacted our company in order to solve this problem.
When our specialist Petru went to his place, he assured him that waterproofing the place is the best solution to end his basement problems once and for all.
The most effective way to keep water out of your basement is to install an interior drainage system as we did here, in order to minimize hydrostatic pressure.
Our WaterGuard drainage system uses the concept of a traditional French drain and incorporates a unique, patented design that prevents the system from becoming clogged.
Then we install our TripleSafe sump pump that provides three-in-one waterproofing protection. In the unlikely event that your sump pump system does fail or is overwhelmed, a built-in sump pump alarm will sound off, warning you of an issue.
