The problem

Water infiltration in the crawl space of Mr. Batah's house; an earthen floor that lets moisture out and a non-functional pedestal pump.

The solution

We removed the old pump in order to install our SmartSump sump pump system. We have covered the earthen floor with a drainage membrane that will be able to direct water to the SmartSump and that will add some insulation value. Next, we added a CleanSpace vapor barrier coating on top of the drainage membrane to insulate the earthen floor of the house and block moisture from the floor. Finally, we installed our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity level.

The expanded polystyrene SilverGlo insulation contains graphite particles that reflect heat and preserve it inside your basement. Thus, the insulation has a lower thermal conductivity, but a higher R-value per inch. The graphite infused polystyrene interior foam resists heat flow. Finally, the radiant barrier reflects the heat inside for ultimate savings in energy consumption.

This commercial building in Kahnawake had water and air coming in from a crack in the wall. To solve this issue affecting the daily business activities of this owner, we injected FlexiSpan and Polyurethane crack injection to fix the crack and installed a CleanSpace membrane to block humidity and water vapor. 

PROBLEM

Mr Mike started to notice there was a few cracks in his bedroom wall, on top of the ones he had noticed in his basement. The foundation walls had major cracks and seems no longer straight. He knew anything related to the foundation need to be taken care of quickly, he contacted us.

SOLUTION

Indeed, his foundation was settling and causing important cracks throughout the house. The foundation walls were so caved inward that the solution needed to be efficient. We went with 6 steel PushPiers to make sure the foundation would be stable and the house would stop shifting around. Mr Mike can now enjoy a solid home for his family and himself, in St-Adolphe-d'Howard, Qc.

Many people do not pay attention to their basement, or even refuse to invest in fixing them; until problems starts to occur!

This basement needed our intervention, and our client who owns this place in l’Ile Bizard contacted us as soon as he felt he cannot control this situation anymore.

We sent our expert to examine the area, and he informed Mr. Michel that he needs to waterproof the place in order to make his house healthier.

Our products offered are the best in town, and we started by installing The WaterGuard interior drain to capture the water seeping from the walls and the floors of the area, and we connected it to the SuperSump pump.

This sump pump is designed to specifically handle the amount of water a basement gets during heavy rains.

Finally we installed the Iceguard accessory to prevent water from freezing.
