Before & After Photos

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.

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.

Mr. Cloutier contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, because his exterior drain was no longer working and there was water infiltration in his basement. On big rainy days, he might have nearly an inch of water in his basement. He was looking for a solution to waterproof his basement so that it remains dry at all times.

Our solution for our client was to install our TripleSafe sump pump system. It is the most efficient as it contains 3 pumps including a battery back-up pump, in case of a power failure. Finally, our experts installed our WaterGuard interior drain system. They dug a trench all along the basement walls to put in some gravel and then our WaterGuard. It collects water from the floor and walls and directs it directly to the existing sump pump system.

PROBLEM

Our client Mrs. Sara wanted to buy this property, but had been hesitating when she saw that there was no system in place to protect it from possible water infiltration. She didn't know if this purchase was worth it or if she might want to buy another house. When she did her research, she realized that there were quick and permanent fixes. That way she could choose her favorite house, with peace of mind. She called on experts in the field.

SOLUTION

Our experts suggested her several types of products and made their recommendation. She decided to go with what she thought gave her the most protection and she was not wrong. We chose the TripleSafe pump, connected to an IceGuard and a LawnScape. TripleSafe can pump 2,200 gallons per hour, quietly and efficiently. This product guarantees a dry basement, even in the case of water infiltration. The IceGuard and LawnScape ensure safe water exit without damaging the client's terrain. Ms. Sara also added a WaterGuard interior drainage system, which replaces the French drain. This product guarantees a dry basement, even in the case of water infiltration. Ideal for a client who has had one or more water infiltration's in the past, a client in an area prone to flooding or a client who wants to renovate or complete his basement and who wants to protect his investment.
