Before & After Photos

This basement in Sherbrooke had water seepage that was coming through some cracks in the foundation.

In this case the leak was obvious, since our client was always noticing a pool of water on the floor.

After contacting our company, we sent our team for a free inspection, and therefore we suggested the installation of our interior drainage system’ the Waterguard’.

An exterior drainage system can do extensive damage to your lawn and cost you a lot of money while an interior drain system will eliminate those elements and do an amazing job at keeping your basement dry.

Before encountering our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, the homeowner in Princeville, QC, dealt with a damp, earth-floor crawl space, creating an ideal setting for humidity and discomfort. Our remedy, showcased in the accompanying photos, was the CleanSpace encapsulation system and the SmartDrain system. Notice in the before image the evident issue—a space vulnerable to moisture and the myriad of problems it brings. Fast forward to the after photo, and you’re looking at a transformed space—dry, sealed, and efficiently insulated. Our precise installation offers not just an immediate improvement in air quality and comfort but promises enduring protection against humidity for years to come.

Mr. St-Laurent, a resident of Compton, Quebec, grappled with basement humidity issues. Turning to the internet for a solution, he discovered our website, which offered various remedies for basement moisture. Encouraged, he completed our request form. Promptly, we reached out to him, scheduling a complimentary quote and inspection. Our specialist, Jorge, conducted a thorough assessment of the troublesome basement. He proposed a solution comprising 153ft of WaterGuard interior basement drain, CleanSpace vapor barrier, a TripleSafe sump pump system, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and 40ft of SilverGlo insulation. Accepting Jorge's proposal, Mr. St-Laurent agreed to the installation date. Foreman Felix journeyed to Compton on the appointed day to commence the work. Initially, he installed the TripleSafe™ sump pump in a pit. Subsequently, he excavated a trench along the basement walls and laid the WaterGuard. Then, he applied SilverGlo insulation and the CleanSpace vapor barrier to cover all basement walls. Finally, he installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, connecting it to the sump pump, and filled all trenches with cement. With the dedicated efforts of our team at Basement Systems Quebec, Mr. St-Laurent can now bid farewell to worries about basement humidity.

To address persistent moisture issues in a basement located in Chesterville, Quebec our team implemented a tailored waterproofing solution: We installed our WaterGuard internal drainage system, a patented perimeter drainage channel engineered to intercept groundwater at the wall-floor joint and direct it efficiently toward a sump pump system or discharge lines. In addition, and to enhance the system’s performance and provide additional moisture protection, we installed the CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. This thick liner is designed to prevent humidity from passing through the foundation walls, while also improving the overall appearance of the basement with its clean, white finish. The installation was executed with minimal disruption. As a result, the basement is now fully protected against water infiltration and is in optimal condition for finishing.

In Donnacona, QC, a homeowner faced a cold, damp room within their basement - a common recipe for discomfort and potential home issues. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the environment was far from ideal for any home. Jumping into action, our team introduced SilverGlo insulation panels, a leading-edge solution designed to tackle just these dilemmas. Notice in the 'after' photo how transformed the space is—warmer and remarkably drier. This transformation underscores our mission to deliver not just a fix, but a trustworthy, enduring resolution, upgrading our customer’s living experience right from their home’s foundation.
