PROBLEM

Our client, Ms. Camille, had noticed that for a while, the exterior door to her basement had difficulty opening and closing. When a contractor came to do the work, he suggested installing screw piles to solve this problem.

SOLUTION

The entrepreneur was right; the problems were caused because the foundation of his chalet was not stable. Our team therefore installed 2 PushPier screw piles. This guarantees a solid foundation.

We also installed CarbonArmor, which was used to stabilize a foundation wall from the inside. With the ArmorLock system, a super-strong carbon fiber strap is fused to each ArmorLock strip and anchored to a heavy-duty steel bracket that’s lag-screwed to the rim joist.

Water was infiltrating in the joint between the floor and the wall in this basement in Bon-Conseil.

The floor under the floor slab was getting wet, which was evaporating and moistening the concrete, leaving traces. When traces of water are visible, it is because the water has found a way to penetrate your basement.

We solved the problem by installing an interior waterproofing solution consisting of an inside drain that we install on the perimeter of the foundation on the footing, as well as a sump pump system that evacuates the collected water far from your home.

Below you can find the before and after pictures of this job.

To repair a crack in a concrete wall effectively and permanently, it is necessary to use a product that will not harden and crack again. When this crack is not a structural problem, we seal it with a product called FlexiSpan.

First, we plug the crack with urethane to block water infiltration and close the crack. Then, the first sealant of polyurethane ether foam is applied to drain the water that is found inside to the dry well.

Finally, the FlexiSpan sealant is made of polyurethane and is a gray color. It is a product that once affixed, becomes rubbery. This allows the crack not to let the water penetrate the basement even if it increases with time. The well is closed to finalize the project.

Another dry basement and a repaired crack!

In Kingsbury, Quebec, a homeowner experienced persistent water infiltration and elevated moisture levels within the basement, primarily due to a clogged French drain system. To remediate the issue, our team implemented a comprehensive basement waterproofing solution including our WaterGuard interior drainage system installed beneath the concrete floor slab, adjacent to the footing. WaterGuard offers a non-clogging, maintenance-efficient alternative to conventional drainage methods.

This system was further reinforced by the application of CleanSpace Wall which serves to isolate the basement from ground moisture, minimizing humidity and potential mold proliferation.

This customer in Magog contacted us in 2015 to solve his problem of water infiltration in his unfinished basement. He used this space as a storage room. He was beginning to worry that water is damaging these assets. Actually when our specialist went on site and found this problem, has also noticed that the humidity was far too high. Moisture is very harmful to building materials as it speeds up mold and condensation and is harmful to your health. Our specialist immediately realized that a complete waterproofing and dehumidification system was needed. So we installed a WaterGuard indoor drain system connected to a SuperSump sump pump system to evacuate the water away from home. We also solved the moisture problem by installing the SanidDry XP that dries and purifies the air. This ensures that the basement can be used for many purposes, including storage, without any worries.
