It’s no secret that wet weather floods the basement. But dry weather is a part of the problem too.
In periods of drought, the soil shrinks away from the foundation, leaving voids for the next rain to easily flow down into your basement before they close up.
Average rainfall means an average of wet periods and dry periods.
The best thing to do when faced with water infiltration is to waterproof it!
Our products will guarantee that your area remains dry even in the toughest periods!
In this basement in Carignan, we have installed the best products available in the market.
Our interior drainage system ‘The WaterGuard’ had been installed to drain all the water from the walls and floors. Even in basements that are already finished, it is still much easier to waterproof from inside than from outside.
In addition, Our SuperSump pump was connected to the Waterguard, to push all the water outside the basement, in the safest and most efficient way.
A sump pump system that is not hermetically sealed allows water vapor to escape into the air and infect the air with bacteria in the groundwater.
At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we install only the best sump pump systems available anywhere in the province of Quebec. We have an answer to clogging sump pumps, power failures, torrential rainfall, and much more!
We have replaced our client’s old pedestal pump with our SuperSump pump system.
The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.
We have solved the problem of water in this house in Saint-Basile-Le-Grand, by installing our interior drainage system known as ‘the WaterGuard’, in addition to a vapor barrier system known as ‘the Cleanspace’.
The WaterGuard is very efficient and is installed on the foundation footing out of the mud and dirt.
It also lies on a stone sheet, in order to prevent clogging.
As for the CleanSpace vapor barrier, it is a durable bright liner that we install it on the walls or on the floors in order to prevent humidity and water vapor from passing through.
After installing our WaterGuard interior drain within a basement in Saint-Basil-Le-Grand, we proceeded to install our unique Basement to Beautiful panels. Equipped with a vapor barrier, these panels are an excellent way to transform damp, cold basement walls into warm, dry walls ready for finishing. The transformation was remarkable.
The problem
Ms. Travis wanted to replace her malfunctioning sump pump system with one that included an alarm and most importantly a back-up in case of a power failure.
The solution
To solve Ms. Travis' problem, we removed her old sump pump system to install our TripleSafe system. It provides 3 levels of protection as it contains 3 pumps. 1 Zoeller 1/3 HP cast iron main pump, a Zoeller 1/2 HP secondary pump and then a battery pump that trips in the event of a power failure. Our TripleSafe includes an alarm, airtight lid and more!
