This client contacted us the first time in 2013 to request a bid to waterproof his basement which was suffering from water infiltration. Having decided that he was in no hurry to carry out the work, he dropped the project but contacted us again in 2019 to resume the project, as the problems worsened.
Our team installed a WaterGuard interior drain perimeter that intercepts water that seeps into the foundation, floor, and walls. This internal drain is connected to a sump pump system to evacuate water away from home.
Once the drain was installed around the foundation, our team covered the walls with the CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane that blocks the water vapor so that it does not wick the space. This membrane also redirects the infiltrations of water if there are some towards the drain. The vapor barrier prevents mold and bloom from appearing and proliferating.
Problem: This Morin-Heights client had an uninsulated crawl space that was wet and left an unpleasant odor through the floor of the first floor. This is why he decided to contact us to receive a free quote.
Solution: The solution chosen during this project was to install our CleanSpace system throughout the crawl space. So to start, our foreman sealed all possible air leaks in the crawl space with expandable foam. Subsequently to redirect the water to the sump pump, a drainage membrane was installed over the entire floor of the crawl space and following it we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane on top to waterproof everything. Finally, we also installed the SilverGlow, our insulation type EPS laminated with aluminum foil, to insulate this crawl space.
Since our intervention, the humidity of this crawl space has been reduced and the customer now benefits from a better insulated crawl space.
Problem: The client who lives in Lantier had a French drain which was often blocked, the water was not draining properly and moreover, he had no insulation in the basement.
Solution: We installed our Waterguard interior drainage system to facilitate drainage to the sump pump. In addition we have added Foamax on the walls with a membrane to help the water drainage towards the WaterGuard.

This basement in Salaberry-De-Valleyfield has been waterproofed thanks to our WaterGuard interior drain system and our SuperSump sump pump. Once connected, these two products form a highly efficient drainage system that intercepts water from the floor of this basement at the foundation and redirects it away from the foundation of the house. SilverGlow insulation has been added to insulate this space. SilverGlo is an expanded polystyrene insulation infused with graphite. The silver barrier also allows the reflection of heat towards the basement.
This insulation and waterproofing system allow the basement space to block any water infiltration as well as preserve heat, which leads to a reduction in energy consumption costs. This basement is not comfortable and can be finished and used efficiently.
