Before & After Photos

Problem

Mr. Damien, who lives in Granby QC, had concerns regarding his crawlspace. Its floor was still dirt, and it was not waterproofed, causing moisture problems in his home. After filling out the free estimation form on our website, we quickly scheduled an appointment for a specialist to come and inspect his crawlspace. Our specialist Nickolas went to Granby to conduct the inspection. He deduced that the best plan would be to encapsulate the crawlspace to prevent moisture from entering and deteriorating the atmosphere in his home.

Solution

Our team of workers went to Mr. Damien's residence. They first laid down the CleanSpace crawlspace drainage membrane on the entire crawlspace floor. This drainage system is designed to collect water from the crawlspace floor and direct it towards the SmartDrain. The WaterWatch alarm, which is part of this drain, could help identify potential plumbing leaks. They then installed a layer of the CleanSpace vapor barrier over the drainage membrane. This product was created as a super durable plastic sheet that will permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from entering the crawlspace.

Our client can now enjoy living inside his home without the need to worry about the bad consequences of an unencapsulated crawlspace. Another job well done by our team at Basement Systems Quebec.

Mr. Paquin in Verdun, Quebec called us because he needed an upgrade for the 10-year-old sump pump system in his basement. He was looking for a system with a backup battery in case of a power failure. We offered to come by for a free inspection and our specialist Patrick went by to check things out. After assessing the situation, Patrick decided that the best course of action would be to install a new drainage system. Our experts first installed a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System to drain the water from the basement. They then installed a LawnScape™ discharge line outlet system at the end of the buried discharge line. Finally, our experts installed an IceGuard® Sump Pump Discharge Line System to prevent water from flowing back into the home, even if the discharge line is coated in ice or snow.

Problem

Our client in Delson, QC, had persistent water infiltrations within their basement, despite the presence of a sump pump. Following a detailed and free inspection, our specialist Patrick noticed that the existing drainage system faced major issues. Firstly, the discharge lines were obstructed by the soil. Secondly, the pump was constantly functional, indicating its inadequacy in dealing with the infiltrated water.

Solution

Our team installed the WaterGuard interior drain system along the perimeter of the basement. This patented system is designed to prevent clogging. Moreover, it is straightforward and quick to install, unlike French drains that require excavation.

Next, we implemented the SuperSump sump pump system, including two distinct pumps. These pumps will evacuate any infiltrated water, even during a power outage, as the second pump operates on battery power. Finally, we installed a new discharge line, connected to the pump, to direct the water outside.

Our clients in Gatineau were suffering from water infiltration problems in their home's basement which caused humidity in the area and has also lead to severe coldness in the basement that has reached the whole house as well.

As you can see in the first picture, the water has penetrated the floors and structural paint damages have occurred on the walls.

Furthermore, our professionals have installed a WaterGuard system, our SuperSump sump pump, as well as our SaniDry and IceGuard systems and finished it with the EverLast wall restoration systems.

Our clients are now very happy since they did not face any humidity problems again and can enjoy their new warm, dry and beautiful basement.

The problem

Mr. Sirois noticed a high humidity in the house, cold air on the main floor coming from the floor and some places of the hardwood floor on the main floor was no longer at level. The cause was the humidity in the crawl space. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to add a good vapor barrier membrane, clean the crawl space to improve air quality and reduce the humidity.

The solution

Adding a SmartSump sump pump system, a drainage membrane and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Most of the moisture in the crawl space comes from the earthen floor that contains water and it can come also from the walls. The SmartSump will therefore be able to remove water from the ground outside and away from the foundation. The drainage membrane, on the other hand, is placed on the ground and makes it possible to drain the water that is on the surface towards the sump pump system. The CleanSpace coating which acts as a vapor barrier is placed over the drainage membrane and blocks moisture from the ground.
