This basement in Saint-Constant was dealing with serious flooding problems . Water was seeping especially during every thaw season, and cracks had started to increase in its foundation wall.
We have solved this basement problems after being contacted by our client.
After her approval, our team installed a WaterGuard interior drain system. It is a drainage system that is placed under the floor slab on the perimeter of the foundation. Then, in order to direct the water from the cracks to the WaterGuard, our team encapsulated part of the walls with our CleanSpace membrane. At last we installed a SuperSump sump pump system to pump water out of the house. Eventually, our plumber connected the drains to the city sewers.
If your sump doesn't have a lid, something we see every day in basements across the nation, it will get clogged and dirty over time and either slow down or stop entirely.
What you will need to do is to have your sump inspected to see if it's time to repair or replace it.
That is exactly what our client in Clarenceville did last year and when our team went to inspect his pedestal pump, they told him that it needs to be changed.
The TripleSafe sump pump installed is very special since it has a three-pump system to adjust automatically and meet pumping requirements besides that, its battery-powered pump will protect the place against flooding during power outages.
For 99% of us, a sump pump is our best option. Despite any stories you have heard over the years about folks getting flooded because their sump pump was on the blink again, today’s sump equipment is better than ever and very reliable.
We at Systèmes Sous-sol Québec have the best sump pumps in the market!
In this basement in Clarenceville, we have installed our SuperSump pump system and waterproofed the place.
The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.
Sump pump systems will evacuate water before it seeps into the basement and causes flooding and damage. All the water intercepted is evacuated far from the house.
Our SuperSump pump system is a full-featured system that includes the best components available.
It has a superliner: the liner's airtight lid keeps out pests and debris, while also eliminating the safety hazard of an open sump pit. The WaterWatch alarm will ring when the water rises above the operating range of the pumps to warn you of a potential problem.
In addition, it is equipped with a powerful, top-quality Zoeller sump pump.
There has recently been water infiltration in this basement in Montreal. Stone walls like these are very conducive to water infiltration because of the spaces between the stones. The owner did not have a very efficient drainage system so he contacted Système Sous-sol Québec to waterproof his basement so that it remains dry at all times!
Our solution to waterproof our client's basement:
- A WaterGuard interior drain system. This is a network of conduits that runs along the perimeter of your basement floor, at the base of the foundation walls. This system collects the water and conveys it to the SuperSump sump pump system that we have installed.
- Install our SuperSump sump pump system. It expels the water that comes from the soil and the WaterGuard out and away from the foundation.
To finish it off, our experts installed our panels for EverLast walls. They are designed to resist mold and cannot be damaged by moisture.
With this solution, our client will have nothing to worry about and his basement will be permanently dry.
