Before & After Photos

Before encountering our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, the homeowner in Princeville, QC, dealt with a damp, earth-floor crawl space, creating an ideal setting for humidity and discomfort. Our remedy, showcased in the accompanying photos, was the CleanSpace encapsulation system and the SmartDrain system. Notice in the before image the evident issue—a space vulnerable to moisture and the myriad of problems it brings. Fast forward to the after photo, and you’re looking at a transformed space—dry, sealed, and efficiently insulated. Our precise installation offers not just an immediate improvement in air quality and comfort but promises enduring protection against humidity for years to come.

Our client, a homeowner in Saint-Fortunat, Quebec, was worried about the situation within his basement. Humidity was high and moisture smells were making things uncomfortable. Upon the visit of our specialist, he explained that the absence of a drainage system is resulting in water seeping inside the basement and thus increasing moisture. If things remained that way, mold will most probably grow, and we might face structural damages. As a solution, we installed our patented WaterGuard drainage system along the footing of the basement. The installation was quick and smooth, with minimal disturbance. In addition, and to maximize the good results, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barriers on the wall. This membrane will limit the moisture coming from the basement walls.

When you suffer from water infiltration in your basement, always check whether your sump pump is working efficiently.

This is what we advised our client who had contacted us asking for our advice!

The TripleSafe sump pump, such as the one installed in our client’s basement in Trois-Rives, is designed to protect you from any problems that might occur with standard sump pumps.  As well as an alarm to alert your attention to any problems, it also uses a specially designed Ultra Sump battery (not an automobile or marine battery) and another pump to backup the primary pump. This ensures the TripleSafe sump pump continues to work even in case of a power failure or pump malfunction.

Problem: For this Beaulac-Garthby customer, the problem is that she often lost the electricity in her place and when there was heavy rainfall, the original sump pump was not delivering enough.

Solution: Our certified specialist suggested that this client installs a suitable pump for her needs. She opted for the TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is equipped with a back-up battery when there is a power failure and in addition it is equipped with two levels in order to remove the water at two different rates, with one being more powerful than the other.

Our customer wanted the peace of mind that comes with this solution's lifetime warranty. He therefore chose the WaterGuard solution.

WaterGuard is a drainage system that leads water to the pump, to then be evacuated outside the house, at a safe distance. The client can now enjoy a dry basement, year round and protect his investment.
