If you are using your basement for storage, it is important to protect your belongings so that they are not damaged by water infiltration. When a basement is at risk, an airtight coating for the pump is a necessity to prevent any water infiltration from entering the habitable and usable space.
We installed our patented hermetic SuperSump coating and a Zoeller sump pump. This waterproofing system keeps the basement dry and protects it from infiltration of underground water so that it can be used safely. Finally, we installed IceGuard and LawnScape which are products that we add to the water discharge line to allow the water to be evacuated in case that pipe freezes.
Our client Ms. Brault had just moved into her home and she had an inspection that has identified several cracks in the foundation. So she wanted to deal with it quickly, since she had frequent water infiltration and was afraid this would affect the value of her investment. The water had already created damage to the floor. There was also a lot of efflorescence at the base of the concrete walls.
So our team suggested to her exactly what she chose. They did a nearly 2 hour assessments, indoor and outdoor, to make sure was there was no other problems.
The products used included a SuperSump pump, attached to an IceGuard and LawnScape. This pump includes 1 electric pump, 1 alarm, 1 drain and can pump 2200 gallons per hour, quietly and efficiently. The Iceguard and LawnScape allow a safe exit from the water without damaging the terrain. The client can now enjoy a dry basement and maintain the value of her home.
We received the following request from Nathalie in L'Île-Perrot: "I need an estimate of costs for water infiltration in the basement. Cracks are apparent”
So we sent our specialist Mike to perform a complete inspection and submit a quote to this client who wants to solve his problem of infiltration of water in the basement. He recommended the following solution:
Close the cracks by injecting polyurethane, install an interior drain (our WaterGuard drain system) along the perimeter of the basement on the footing of the foundation, connect the drain to a SuperSump sump pump system to drain the water away from the house automatically, cover the wall with the CleanSpace membrane which is a vapor barrier to block water vapor from the wall.
The basement is now dry and will remain so at all times because we have solved the problem at the source.
This basement in Saint-Urban-Premier had water leaks on several walls.
After contacting our company, our team inspected his place and installed a WaterGuard drainage system and connected it to the SuperSump System. This SuperSump includes an UltraSump battery back-up which runs on a high-capacity 120 amp power pack. If you lose power, the UltraSump turns on automatically and an alarm sounds to alert you that you are on backup. With a new, fully charged power pack, the UltraSump is capable of pumping out 12,000 total gallons at 2,018 gallons per hour.
The SuperSump is one of the best sump pump systems you can have at home. This system contains the most reliable pump, the WaterWatch alarm system and a patented waterproofed cover. The SupeSump is clean and nothing can infiltrate it. You can store goods on top without breaking it, saving you space. The Zoeller pump inside can drain 2650 gallons of water per hour. The alarm system sounds when the water level rises higher than normal so that you have time to react to this risk before damage occurs. The ultra-resistant polyethylene coating contains 96 holes that allow water that travels through the soil to be intercepted. Finally, the waterproof cover allows the water to be captured without the vapors emerge and humidify the space.
