Before & After Photos

In Montmagny, the owners of this house were concerned about their foundation walls, which were beginning to lean inward. Soil pressure was exerting a constant force on the walls, threatening their stability. Cracks were visible, and the basement was becoming highly exposed to moisture and thermal loss. 

By installing our PowerBrace system, the walls are now solidly stabilized, with the possibility of gradual straightening. In addition, SilverGlo insulation panels were added to improve the basement's energy efficiency. The result is a secure foundation, a more comfortable basement and new confidence for homeowners. 

The basement of this house in Saint-Come-Liniere suffered from damp walls, cracks in the foundation, water infiltration, and a risk of mold and structural deterioration. To solve these problems, Systèmes Sous-Sols Québec installed a TrenchDrain drainage pipe, embedded in the floor to capture water directly and direct it to the sump, quickly eliminating any accumulation and preventing flooding while remaining discreet and easy to maintain. The system is complemented by the SuperSump pump, capable of efficiently removing accumulated water, even during heavy rains or snowmelt. To ensure the strength of the walls, we applied PowerBrace, an interior reinforcement that corrects cracks and prevents deformation, ensuring structural stability and safety. Thanks to this combination of solutions, the basement is now dry, healthy, and functional, offering lasting protection against moisture, infiltration, and mold, while improving indoor comfort, safety, and the value of the home.

Our client in Ste-Catherine-De-La-J-Cartier contacted us through our website because he recently bought a property and the engineer who inspected the property discovered that the back foundation wall is domed inwards. We offered Mr. Dalidec a free inspection to come and take a look at his foundation. Upon completing the inspection, our specialist Roxane decided the best plan would be to install 6 PowerBrace^TM Foundation Wall Repair System beams. Our foreman Jawad then went and carefully completed the installation of the 6 PowerBrace^TM beams. Our client can now sleep easier at night knowing that his foundation walls aren’t crumbling beneath him. Once again, Systèmes Sous-sol Québec comes to the rescue, protecting the foundation of another house!

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.

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.
