Before & After Photos

In Shawinigan, one homeowner had been living with the constant challenges of a damp and uncomfortable basement. Over time, excess humidity had led to mold growth and unpleasant odors, while small cracks in the foundation walls began allowing water to seep in during heavy rains. The space felt cold, clammy, and unsafe,  far from the clean usable area the homeowner wanted it to be.

To bring the basement back to life, our team designed a complete waterproofing and stabilization plan. We installed the WaterGuard drainage system, which efficiently channels water away from the home to keep the area consistently dry. To improve insulation and moisture control, we applied SilverGlo wall panels, helping maintain a healthier environment and better energy efficiency. Finally, the PowerBrace system was added to reinforce the foundation walls, ensuring long-term structural stability.

With these upgrades, the basement was completely transformed into a clean, dry, and solid space and the homeowner can now use it with confidence for years to come.

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 Tremblay had an outdated, old and unsafe pump system.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.
