Before & After Photos

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.

Mr. Alex S and his wife owned a house in Gatineau and they were having severe water infiltration problems in their basement every year during spring time, due to the failure of the usual French drain and their old sump pump system.

After contacting many companies that failed to fix their problem, our customers decided to call our company for a free inspection. Following that call, our team estimated their basement and had the perfect solution to solve their problem.

Our professionals suggested the installation of a WaterGuard interior foundation drain and a TripleSafe sump pump. You can see the difference between the existing pump and the one we installed in the picture above.

Now the homeowners are very happy and relaxed since they did not face anymore leaking problems in their basement again.

Mr. F. owned a beautiful house in Montpellier, but wanted to use it basement area as a storage room, but failed to do so due to water infiltration in the place.

Furthermore this client contacted us to talk about his problem of infiltrations of water in the basement and our company sent our expert Alexandre for a free inspection and after checking up the place he recommended the installation of the TripleSafe pump sump which is best sump pump system in the market because it contains 3 pumps in its hermetic coating.

One that runs under normal conditions, a second one when the water flow is too fast or the volume too big and the third one work with an emergency battery when you have a power failure during a rain storm.

This basement in Montpellier was having problems such as high humidity, moisture, and growth of mold. In order to fix this problem, our team led by Alexander went for a free inspection and noticed that the existing sump pump was not effective.

Actually, a sump pump system that does not have an airtight lid will allow bacteria and mold spores to spread into the area. In addition, the pump was not working properly during floods and heavy rain period.

Furthermore our, team recommended changing this sump pump into one of the best sump pumps in the market which is the TripleSafe sump pump.

The TripleSafe is has 3 pumps in its hermetic coating. One that works under normal conditions, a second when the flow of water is too fast or the volume too big, and the third operates with an emergency battery when you experience a power failure during a rainstorm!
