Before & After Photos

Problem

Mrs. Weaver had water leaks in her basement. This is due to the malfunction of her sump pump.

Solution

Replace your pump with our SuperSump sump pump system. This pump is able to pump outside the basement up to 8,300 liters of water per hour, it will keep our client's basement dry with our Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.

Our clients in Beaconsfield had a water infiltration problem due the sump pump overflowing during a big rain. They thought this could happen again, as they only had one pump in the pit and there was no battery backup system. They only knew about there issue when it was too late and the water was already on their basement floor. Also their sump pit was open, causing a lot of humidity in the basement.  

As they thought this could definitely happen again, they called us to install a sump pit with the intention of finishing their basement. They needed a system that would give them the peace of mind, once and for all. As such, our specialist recommended the TripleSafe sump pump system, as this met the clients' needs with features such as 2 main pumps, one battery-operated backup pump, an alarm system and an airtight sump lid to help lower the humidity level in the basement.

When water seeps into a stairwell and you already have a sump pump system in another basement room that is draining water, we can help you fix the problem with an interior waterproofing system.

Our solution: install an internal foundation drain that catches water from the ground under the stairs and on the walls of the staircase and discharges it through a pipe connected to the sump pump a little further.

It is an effective and discreet solution and once the drain is covered, you will not even see it anymore.

Here is a photo during the inspection that contains the annotations of the basement waterproofing specialist and a photo of the result once the system is installed. Once the concrete has dried, you do not notice any difference other than the fact that your basement will be dry!

Water was seeping into our client’s basement during freeze and thaw cycles.

The land now is sloping towards the wall. And in winter there are puddles caused by the thaw near the foundations.

We went to this place after scheduling a free inspection day and solved our customer’s problem.

As a start, we installed our WaterGuard Indoor Drainage System. The WaterGuard Internal Drain is installed at the joint between the wall and the footing of the foundation and is covered with concrete to blend into the decor.

Then our SuperSump pump system is connected to the WaterGuard. The SuperSump system is a sump pump liner that is unobtrusive and not bulky. You can put your things on it without being afraid that something will fall in it.

Once completed, we have installed the ThermalDry floor system which is an inorganic mat resistant to water and moisture.

What are the characteristics of an efficient interior drainage system?

- It is designed not to clog and to be positioned on the top of the soil.

- It has a 3/8 inch built-in space between the floor and the wall, to drain infiltrations from the wall.

-It does not depend on a filter cloth.

- It has a large drain outlet for the pump

- Do not cause structural damage to the foundation.

Thus, this system is connected to an airtight sump pump whose cover and lid serve as drains that allow the water to be evacuated and prevent the vapors from disengaging and humidifying the air.

The pump is therefore protected and its efficiency is optimized. The alarm system also lets you know if the volume of water exceeds the minimum level that would start the pump. Thus, in the case of a problem, you will be notified before damage occurs and you will be protected by the battery pump system that will protect your basement in the event of a breakdown.
