We once received the following customer request: "I want to have an inspection of my basement, because I have a problem of water infiltration and an external drain is not a possibility for us". No problem, interior drains are our specialty! So we sent our basement waterproofing expert Andrew to do a complete assessment of this damaged basement and to recommend the most effective solution for dealing with this problem from the inside.
Then we sent a crew to start the installations. They started by sealing a crack with FlexiSpan. Next, they installed a 143-foot perimeter of WaterGuard interior drain and then added a CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane to the walls. Finally, to dehumidify and purify the air, we installed the SaniDry XP dehumidifier!
B&A
Problem
Mr. Tremblay had an outdated, old and unsafe pump system. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc to change it to avoid any future problems.
Solution
Our team changed their pump system to our TripleSafe system. It is the most efficient, safe and airtight lid and includes 3 sump pumps, one of which is a battery backup. So even in case of a power outage, the TripleSafe will work.
The main floor in Mr. Hammer's house was no longer level and he even felt his floor "softer" in some places. One of the causes is the lack of support pillars in the crawl space. The current pillars of support were poorly spaced and inadequate.
The solution
We added galvanized steel SmartJack pillars to reinforce the beams to properly support the floor joists.These are even adjustable over time.
In the beautiful Roxton Falls, QC, a homeowner was battling a damp basement, a common nuisance that can cause a myriad of issues. As you can see in the before photo, the problem was significant enough to require a skilled solution. That's when they called on us. Our solution was the TripleSafe Sump Pump system—a reliable fortress against moisture. Notice in the after photo how effectively our installation transformed their wet, bothersome space into a dry, comfortable basement. Our focus was not only on fixing the immediate issue but also on delivering peace of mind with a long-lasting, remarkable service. Through this technical expertise, we are setting the foundation, quite literally, for healthier homes and happier homeowners in our community.
If you have a well that contains a pipe and a pump, it is not a good sump pump system. A good and efficient system can work under all possible circumstances and contains the following elements:
- A hermetic coating and lid
- A pump that operates under normal conditions
- A second pump that works during heavy rains or storms
- A battery booster pump that works during emergencies when there is a power failure.
