Before & After Photos

PROBLEME

Right in the middle of his basement renovation project, he realized that through all his planning, he hadn't included any waterproofing renovation. This is such an important element to include. Mr Gary wanted us to come to show him the options for an optimal protection. 

SOLUTION

He went with the drainage system WaterGuard, which comes with a lifetime warranty. This solution will protect the entire perimeter of the house, to make sure it captures all the water trying to get in, to then be removed outside of the basement. Mr Gary can now enjoy a dry basement, all year long.  

In Eastman, QC, a homeowner faced the frustrating reality of water infiltrating their basement, creating a damp and unusable space. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the challenge was significant, but no match for our team. We expertly installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump system, transforming the area into a dry and reliable space, evident in the 'after' photo. This solution not only resolved the immediate water issue but also safeguarded the home against future water problems, embodying our commitment to exceptional service and enduring solutions for every client.

PROBLEM

Persistent humidity in the basement is causing unpleasant odors, and mold stains are beginning to appear. Structural issues may arise if no action is taken in the near future.

SOLUTION

As planned, we began by installing the WaterGuard drainage system. The drain is placed on the foundation footing, away from mud and dirt to prevent clogging. Infiltrated water will be directly captured by the drain, thanks to the protruding lip that directs water from the walls directly into the system. Next, we installed our SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a reliable and high-performance 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump, a pump liner, a sealed lid, a CleanPump support, and a WaterWatch alarm. Finally, we connected our interior drain to a discharge line that will lead water outside. This discharge line includes our patented IceGuard system, designed to prevent the risk of flooding in case the line freezes during cold periods.

PROBLEM

Our client, Ms. Camille, had noticed that for a while, the exterior door to her basement had difficulty opening and closing. When a contractor came to do the work, he suggested installing screw piles to solve this problem.

SOLUTION

The entrepreneur was right; the problems were caused because the foundation of his chalet was not stable. Our team therefore installed 2 PushPier screw piles. This guarantees a solid foundation.

We also installed CarbonArmor, which was used to stabilize a foundation wall from the inside. With the ArmorLock system, a super-strong carbon fiber strap is fused to each ArmorLock strip and anchored to a heavy-duty steel bracket that’s lag-screwed to the rim joist.

Water was infiltrating in the joint between the floor and the wall in this basement in Bon-Conseil.

The floor under the floor slab was getting wet, which was evaporating and moistening the concrete, leaving traces. When traces of water are visible, it is because the water has found a way to penetrate your basement.

We solved the problem by installing an interior waterproofing solution consisting of an inside drain that we install on the perimeter of the foundation on the footing, as well as a sump pump system that evacuates the collected water far from your home.
