Before & After Photos

This client had a wet crawl space where support beams began to sag. The infiltrating water was neither blocked nor drained, which caused it to accumulate in the air and be absorbed by the support beams.

To solve this problem, we installed a CleanSpace membrane to block water vapor, a SmartDrain drain to accumulate and redirect water, as well as SmartJacks support pillars and SmartJacks support beams.

Having an open sump is one of the problems that will cause a high level of humidity in a basement.

This sump in Sainte-Julienne was not doing its job since at each great rain the water ended above the slab of this basement.

We have replaced this old pump with our TripleSafe pump and this basement is now completely waterproofed!

This pump has a hermetically closed system (no moisture that emerges), which installs with a floor drain and an alarm system.

A client residing in Marieville, Quebec contacted us as he was worried about the situation within his basement. In fact, his french drain was directly linked to the city's sewers without the existence of a sump pump. During the inspection, our specialist Mathieu validated the client's concerns. The existence of a reliable sump pump system is, without a doubt, excessively important to help prevent flooding and other structural damages. Our TripleSafe sump pump system was the solution with its three lines of defense: Two powerful pumps, with a third backup pump which runs even if there is power outage. The installation was smooth and successful, leaving our client satisfied and relieved.

The problem

Ms. Lauzé had problems with water infiltration in her basement that had entered through the joint between the footing and the foundation walls. This had created mold and completely damaged her floor.

The solution

Install a WaterGuard interior foundation drain all along the foundation walls. The WaterGuard sits directly on the footing and collects water from the joint and walls to direct it to the existing sump pump system. Once installed, it is covered with concrete, ready for the installation of the floor and the bottom of the drywall, services that Basement Systems can also offer Everlast and ThermalDry.

Water in a crawl space is not a good thing, since it makes the air humid, the air of the whole house is affected by this moisture, and building materials will deteriorate more quickly.

After contacting us, we sent one of our specialists to this crawl space in Marieville  to make an assessment for the waterproofing and encapsulation of this crawl space.

We installed our CleanSpace Liner which is a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting into your crawl space.
