Before & After Photos

In Eastman, QC, a homeowner faced the frustrating reality of water infiltrating their basement, creating a damp and unusable space. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the challenge was significant, but no match for our team. We expertly installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump system, transforming the area into a dry and reliable space, evident in the 'after' photo. This solution not only resolved the immediate water issue but also safeguarded the home against future water problems, embodying our commitment to exceptional service and enduring solutions for every client.

PROBLEM

Persistent humidity in the basement is causing unpleasant odors, and mold stains are beginning to appear. Structural issues may arise if no action is taken in the near future.

SOLUTION

As planned, we began by installing the WaterGuard drainage system. The drain is placed on the foundation footing, away from mud and dirt to prevent clogging. Infiltrated water will be directly captured by the drain, thanks to the protruding lip that directs water from the walls directly into the system. Next, we installed our SuperSump sump pump system. This system features a reliable and high-performance 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump, a pump liner, a sealed lid, a CleanPump support, and a WaterWatch alarm. Finally, we connected our interior drain to a discharge line that will lead water outside. This discharge line includes our patented IceGuard system, designed to prevent the risk of flooding in case the line freezes during cold periods.

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.

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!
