A client residing in Saint-Georges-De-Windsor, Quebec, was facing alarming issues within his basement. In fact, there were multiple cracks visible from the inside, as well as water infiltrations. Client had also an old sump pump which was clearly inadequate. In addition, the excess humidity has resulted in the joists being weakened, thus compromising the house's foundation. We combined our systems for basement waterproofing and foundation repair to tailor a perfect solution that will provide long term protection: Our patented WaterGuard internal drain was installed, linked to our SuperSump sump pump system. Next, we installed CleanSpace Wall to regulate the excess humidity. Lastly we installed our powerful galvanized steel PowerBrace beams to support the joists and thus to prevent any structural damage. Client was satisfied with this wonderful transformation in his basement, knowing he will have peace of mind as our system are protecting his house.
In Sherbrooke, QC, a homeowner faced frequent flooding due to an outdated sump pump, turning their basement into an unusable space. As you can see in the before photo, the issue was clear. Notice in the after photo, our team expertly installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump, bringing tranquility back into their home. Our solution not only resolved their flooding problem but ensured a robust, lasting defense against water, fitting our mission to provide dependable solutions and unforgettable service.
We have replaced our client’s old sump pump system with our company’s SmartSump pump since their existing one wasn’t working properly and water was always flooding during heavy rain season!
In addition the old pump does not have an airtight lid and transmits water vapor that is infected with bacteria and mold spores.
Our clients who live in Sherbrooke contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc because their sump pump stops working regularly and this has caused major water damage in their basement. She and her husband wanted a high-performance system that will give them the peace of mind.
Our foreman and his team removed the old pump to install our TripleSafe sump pump system. It offers 3-level protection with 2 high-performance Zoeller pumps and 1 battery-powered backup pump that's way better than you think. Our system includes an alarm, waterproof cover and supports for the pumps.
Foundation cracks are a big problem that many owners in Sherbrooke face. Reparations by injection, as you can see in the Before picture, is not always the best solution especially if the crack is horizontal. In this case, there is a good chance that water will penetrate back just like it happened with this client.
We consequently installed a vapor barrier to drain the water towards the interior drain and to have a permanent solution. The SilverGlo membrane as shown in the picture, has an R-value of 11 to isolate foundation walls all over Quebec.
