Before & After Photos

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.

Previously, this basement in St-Raymond suffered from persistent moisture, water infiltration, and constantly damp walls, conditions conducive to mold and deterioration of the house structure. To remedy these problems, we installed our SilverGlo™ wall insulation, which improves energy efficiency and protects against temperature fluctuations, added a vapor barrier to block moisture, and installed our WaterGuard® drainage system, which quickly drains water to prevent accumulation. Today, the basement is clean, dry, and healthy, providing a reliable, comfortable, and durable space while ensuring protection against moisture, mold, and structural damage.

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.

Located in East Angus, QC, a homeowner contacted us due to persistent problems related to high humidity levels and unwanted water infiltration. You can see in the “before” photo the extent of the moisture and water affecting the basement. To remedy this problem, we installed our complete waterproofing solutions. The WaterGuard® system was strategically used to discreetly capture water infiltration and direct it straight to our robust TripleSafe™ sump pump. This system ensures effective removal of excess water, protecting the foundation and maintaining a dry environment. In addition, the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to regulate humidity levels, effectively preventing mold growth and musty odors, which improved the overall indoor air quality. The “after” photo illustrates the transformation, showing a basement that is not only dry but also ideal for a variety of uses. Our solutions work consistently to provide East Angus homeowners with peace of mind by protecting their property from water-related problems.
