Before & After Photos

Mr. Dauphin has a cold room in his basement with concrete walls and floors. When there are heavy rains, water seeps into it. He's already had up to 1 inch of water in that room. Knowing that this could happen again, he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec to fix the situation.

The solution for our client is to waterproof the cold room. For this, our experts installed our WaterGuard internal drain system on the footing of the foundation and connected it to our TripleSafe sump pump system. In this way, the water from the walls flows into the WaterGuard and then is directed into the sump pump system to be ejected outside. Then, in order to remove the humidity, they put a drainage membrane on the walls and our CleanSpace membrane on top. The CleanSpace provides a barrier against water vapor and makes the room brighter.

With this solution, Mr. Dauphin has a dry cold room at all times!

When water seeps into a stairwell and you already have a sump pump system in another basement room that is draining water, we can help you fix the problem with an interior waterproofing system.

Our solution: install an internal foundation drain that catches water from the ground under the stairs and on the walls of the staircase and discharges it through a pipe connected to the sump pump a little further.

It is an effective and discreet solution and once the drain is covered, you will not even see it anymore.

Here is a photo during the inspection that contains the annotations of the basement waterproofing specialist and a photo of the result once the system is installed. Once the concrete has dried, you do not notice any difference other than the fact that your basement will be dry!

It's never a good thing to have a crack that serves as a gateway to the water in your basement. This is why you must seal this crack permanently and waterproof the basement. We installed the following products: CleanSpace Membrane, CleanSpace Drain Mat, CleanSpace Wall, WaterGuard Internal Drain, SuperSump Sump Pump, IceGuard Discharge Hose, and LawnScape Discharge Hose.

When we first met these clients, they had a very high level of humidity in their basement, mainly due to an open sump pump pit. An open pit with constantly running water is like a humidifier in your house! 

The homeowners would never know if and when their pump stopped working, so we installed our SuperSump system that comes with a WaterWatch Alarm. to let them know if their pump stopped working. In addition, the completely sealed system helped a lot in keeping the humidity levels lower in their basement.

Water coming from rain, storms, melting snow and pooling groundwater is a common cause of long-lasting wet basement problems.

Waterproofing your basement is very important and will save you lots of problems in the future!

In this job executed in Chateauguay, we have installed our Interior basement system’ the Waterguard’ that is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor; a SuperSump pump system that is one of the most efficient pumps in the market; and finally a CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through.
