One of our Richelieu clients had a lot of moisture problem. The humidity was very high, the moist air was cold and favorable to the growth of the molds. To eliminate the problem, we installed a sump pump system in a sealed liner to allow water to enter the well without the water evaporating and moistening the space with infected vapors.
We also connected the SaniDry dehumidifier to control humidity, dry air and materials, and improve the air quality.
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.
In the basement of our house, which is a construction dating from 1954, there is a hole about 30 cm in diameter. There is always water in the hole. When it rains a lot or when the snow melts, the water level rises and humidifies the surroundings, but nothing more. This hole was there when we bought the house 16 years ago. We would like to know what it is for and what we need to do. We would also like to put a camera in the floor drain that is next to the hole because we have 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. We would like to know if the floor drain is clogged. "
No problem! The 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!
Our client’s basement was not insulated properly and the wood was exposed to the air causing vapor and seepage problems.
You can now compare this picture to the previous one. The wall and floor are totally insulated and the wall is now dry and lighted.
