Before & After Photos

Our client's basement in Saint-Hilaire-de-Dorset had problems with excessive moisture and water infiltration, which compromised air quality and the use of the space. The signs were obvious: water marks on the floor, persistent odors, and deterioration of materials. With our WaterGuard interior drainage system professionally installed along the foundation, infiltrated water is intercepted and directed to the sump pump before it can cause damage to the structure. The drainage membrane, laid on the slab, allows for optimal water flow to the system, preventing any accumulation of standing water. This effective combination provides lasting protection against moisture, preserves the integrity of the basement, and creates a dry space ready for storage, finishing, or expansion of living space.

A visible foundation crack inside the basement was stressing the homeowners. They were planning to finish the basement, but wanted to make sure this existing crack won't cause any future issues. Upon inspection, our specialist explained that there is not foundation settlement for the time being, but this cracks needed to be sealed in order not to cause any water infiltration. 

We used our patented FlexiSpan system to fill and seal the crack permanently, without the risk of future problems. the client was impressed with the quality of our work and is now ready to transform his basement into a living area.

In Frampton, the homeowner was dealing with a troubling crack in their foundation that had started allowing water to seep into the basement. Each rainfall or spring thaw brought new signs of moisture—damp spots on the floor, musty odors, and growing concern about potential damage. After our team installed the WaterGuard system, along with a SuperSump pump, IceGuard, and LawnScape outlet, the change was immediate. The basement stayed dry even during heavy rains, and the homeowner no longer had to worry about water infiltration. With the crack addressed and proper drainage in place, the space feels safer and more comfortable than ever.

In Frampton, a homeowner was facing a frustrating but common problem, constant humidity and water seeping into their basement. Left untreated, this type of moisture can lead to foundation cracks, mold growth, and damage to valuable living space.

To put an end to these recurring issues, our team at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec installed the WaterGuard® interior drainage system along the basement’s perimeter. This system efficiently redirects any incoming water toward our TripleSafe™ sump pump, which provides reliable protection even during heavy rainfall or power outages.

For added security during Quebec’s harsh winters, we also included our IceGuard® discharge line, designed to prevent water backup if pipes freeze outside.

Now, this Frampton basement stays dry, healthy, and worry-free all year round. At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we provide lasting solutions for basement waterproofing, foundation protection, and humidity control, so homeowners can enjoy their space with complete peace of mind.

PROBLEM

Our living in Lac-Drolet, was looking to install an exterior French drain to put an end for the persistent moisture problem. After filling out the form on our website, our specialist Nickolas visited our client for a free inspection. Nickolas presented in details a waterproofing solution, including our WaterGuard interior drainage system and our TripleSafe sump pump system. The drainage system proved to be perfectly effective. Additionally, the installation is quick compared to that of the French drain, preserving the landscape around the house as there will be no excavation.

SOLUTION 

After receiving approval from our client, we began the work under the supervision of Jawad. As planned, we started by installing the revolutionary WaterGuard drainage system. The drain is placed on the foundation footing, away from mud and dirt to prevent clogging. The infiltrated water will be directly captured by the drain, thanks to the ⅜-inch protruding lip that channels water from the walls directly into the system.

Next, we installed our excellent TripleSafe sump pump system. This system consists of three pumps: The first reliable and efficient 1/3 HP Zoeller pump, the second 1/2 HP Zoeller pump which operates when the first pump needs assistance, and the third backup pump that activates in case of a power outage.

Then, we installed a drainage matting on part of the floor, as the existing floor slab was thin and at risk of causing a moisture problem. Additionally, we installed the CleanSpace Wall membrane on the walls to prevent water vapor from seeping into the basement.

Finally, we connected our interior drain to a discharge line that will lead the water outside. This discharge line includes our patented IceGuard system, designed to eliminate the risk of flooding if this line freezes during cold periods.
