A client residing in Marieville, Quebec contacted us as he was worried about the situation within his basement. In fact, his french drain was directly linked to the city's sewers without the existence of a sump pump. During the inspection, our specialist Mathieu validated the client's concerns. The existence of a reliable sump pump system is, without a doubt, excessively important to help prevent flooding and other structural damages. Our TripleSafe sump pump system was the solution with its three lines of defense: Two powerful pumps, with a third backup pump which runs even if there is power outage. The installation was smooth and successful, leaving our client satisfied and relieved.
The problem
Ms. Lauzé had problems with water infiltration in her basement that had entered through the joint between the footing and the foundation walls. This had created mold and completely damaged her floor.
The solution
Install a WaterGuard interior foundation drain all along the foundation walls. The WaterGuard sits directly on the footing and collects water from the joint and walls to direct it to the existing sump pump system. Once installed, it is covered with concrete, ready for the installation of the floor and the bottom of the drywall, services that Basement Systems can also offer Everlast and ThermalDry.
Water in a crawl space is not a good thing, since it makes the air humid, the air of the whole house is affected by this moisture, and building materials will deteriorate more quickly.
After contacting us, we sent one of our specialists to this crawl space in Marieville to make an assessment for the waterproofing and encapsulation of this crawl space.
We installed our CleanSpace Liner which is a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting into your crawl space.
As the winter is coming, and after the dramatic events of last August, we got contacted by a homeowner in Berthierville, as they were concerned about their sump pump. It was not continuously working, which made it noisy and less efficient. Our specialist explain that the pump will end up being broken-down, thus leading to serious waterproofing problem inside the basement. The solution was to install a new sump pump system like our revolutionary TripleSafe system, with its two efficient pumps and a third backup battery pump. With the presence of TripleSafe, our client will not have any concerns as water is smoothly finding its way out of his basement.
