Problem

Mr Achachi had moisture problems in his basement. He could see in some places of his basement walls traces of water and this meant that there was water seeping through the foundation walls in his basement.

One of the causes was the presence of cracks in the foundation walls that allowed water and moisture to seep into the basement.

Solution

We first sealed these cracks with our FlexiSpan solution. Next, we installed a SuperSump sump pump system which includes a 1 / 2HP cast iron Zoeller pump. This way the soil water is drained outside away from the house and it can reduce the humidity in the basement. And then a WaterGuard foundation interior drain was laid on the foundation footing. This collects the water coming from the walls and which may be on the surface of the ground to direct it towards the SuperSump to evacuate it.

Today’s sump equipment is better than ever and very reliable.

We at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec have the best sump pumps in the market!

In this basement in McMasterville, we have installed our SuperSump pump system, and waterproofed the place.

The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.

PROBLEM

Our client Mrs. Lucie, was not able to tolerate the water that was seeping in with each thaw in her basement and wanted a permanent solution.

SOLUTION

A combination of our waterproofing products was suggested from our team; a SuperSump pump, the WaterGuard drain system, an Iceguard and a LawnScape.

Our SuperSump can help to keep the basement dry by discharging the internal drain, and lowering the water level in the soil under the slab.

Now the customer can benefit from a dry, clean and usable space all year round.

Mrs. St-Amand contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Qc, because her floor had collapsed in a few places. So she felt that her floor was soft and there was a smell of damp and mold upstairs.

The problem was the earthen crawl space. There was lots of humidity and the wooden beams and pillars were rotting due to the humidity.

To fix this problem, our team encapsulated the crawl space with a drainage membrane and a vapor barrier on the earth floor. This is to lock in moisture coming from the ground. We installed beams and our galvanized steel SmartJack pillars to reinforce the structure of the house and prevent the floor from sagging. Finally, we have installed our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity level along with a SmartSump sump pump system.

We have received a call from a client in Saint-Amable informing us that she is having problems when it rains a lot or when the snow melts, since the water level rises and humidifies the surrounding.
She actually wanted to put a camera in the floor drain that is next to the hole, because she has already placed a pump in the hole to drain the water into the floor drain, but the floor drain was not working properly when there was any flow. So she wanted to know if the floor drain is clogged.

Our SuperSump sump pump system is the solution! This very powerful pump has been installed to intercept water where it seeps. Thus, once the hole is blocked and the pump installed, the space in the basement is protected against infiltration because this pump has been connected to the floor drain.
We are happy to have been able to solve the problem of our client!
