Before & After Photos

By installing a drainage system around the inside of the basement along the wall, you can capture water at the most common point of entry-the floor/ wall joint.

You can also capture water from the walls and prevent the center of the floor from leaking by intercepting the water at the perimeter of the floor before it gets to the center.

We applied this system in our client’s basement in Outremont and waterproofed the whole area.

Ms. Lauzon had a problem with water infiltration in a room in her basement. Wall efflorescence means that there is water and moisture seeping into the walls and this causes a white powdery substance (mineral salts) to appear on the concrete walls. .

The solution

Install a sump pump system as well as a WaterGuard interior drain. First, a hole was dug to install our SuperSump sump pump system. It features a powerful ⅓ HP Zoeller cast iron sump pump capable of pumping 8,300 gallons of water per hour out of your basement to a height of 8 feet. Then a trench is dug all along the foundation walls to reach the foundation footing and the WaterGuard is laid in it. It collects water from the walls and the floor.

With this solution, Ms. Lauzon now has a permanently dry basement.

Our client had a mold problem that was starting to show up and was becoming more and more serious.

In order to fix the problem, our specialist installed a ;Drainage Matting to collect the water that escapes from the ground and accumulates in the crawl space;  A CleanSpace to isolate the earth from the rest of the crawl space to reduce humidity.

 To get the excess water out of the crawl space, a SuperSump was installed. It is a covered pump that prevents the moisture from getting out.

Thanks to these solutions, our client now enjoys a house protected against humidity and mold.

Ms. Renaud wanted to transform her crawl space into a clean, dry place in which she could store her belongings. The crawl space is made of earth and the stone walls were not insulated. Which made the place damp and cold. So she contacted Système Sous-sol Québec in order to have a quick and permanent solution.

Our solution was to install a drainage mat over the earthen floor to direct surface water to the existing sump pump and then lay our CleanSpace liner over the drainage mat to isolate the earth from the house and on the stone walls. The CleanSpace helps block the evaporation of water in the ground to reduce the humidity level in the crawl space. It is sturdy and gives a clean and clear appearance to the crawl space.

With this solution, Mrs. Renaud will finally be able to use this space to store her belongings.

This homeowner in Montreal had previously suffered from water infiltration problems in her basement, especially in the absence of a back-up system for her sump pump and a poorly sealed sump.

Our team has replaced it with the SuperSump sump pump system which is one of the best sump pump systems that come with an alarm system, a waterproof drain and a Zoeller pump.
