Problem: The client who resides in the town of Rosemère had a crack in her foundation and water entered during the period of snowmelt and when there was rain. She wanted to fix this problem, as it had been going on for a while and she had tried to fix it, but unfortunately it had not worked the way she wanted.
Solution: The solution for this project was to put our product called Flexispan, this product is made from polyurethane that we inject into the crack. We then cover the crack with a polyurethane-based coating to create a beautiful light gray finish to match the coating to the concrete. Finally, we dig a small hole in front of the place where the crack is found and which will have the drainage membrane, in the event that there is water that tries to pass through the Flexispan. However, it will be redirected to the sump pump.
Problem: This Rosemère customer wanted to change his sump pump to a more efficient one. There are often power losses where it remains so it needed one that could continue to operate during power outages.
Solution: For this project, the solution that was chosen was to install our TripleSafe sump pump. This is provided with two levels for two different flow rates. When the first level is reached, the second automatically engages. In addition, this pump is equipped with a battery that triggers instantly upon loss of current. This is why it was the best option for the customer, because for him it was undeniable to have a pump that would work, even when the power was out.
Basements are built below grade; this is why they tend to suffer from water seepage. You may notice moist basement walls from time to time, water puddles here and there, or worst-case scenario flooding during the rainy season.
Humid, damp, or downright wet basements are bad for the entire house’s health and can result in mold and mildew growth, rotted wood, and damage to stored items.
One of our client’s basement in Montreal East was undergoing major water infiltrations around the foundation and contacted us asking about our free inspection and quote.
We sent one of our specialists who recommended the installation of an interior drain system on the foundation footing as well as a vapor barrier membrane and a SuperSump sump pump system.
Before tackling the humid dirt crawl space in Saint-Denis-de-Brompton, you can see the challenge we faced: an unwelcoming and potentially harmful crawl space beneath a lovely home. But took a look at the after photo: a transformation made possible by our specialists using CleanSpace to seal and protect, SilverGlo to insulate. Our mission was clear – to turn a troublesome space into a clean, efficient part of the home, ensuring a healthy, durable foundation for years to come. Another happy home, another job well done by our team!
The TripleSafe system has three sump pumps, one of which is emergency battery operated. This system helps protect your basement against the risk of water damage during normal conditions, during heavy rains, and during power outages. The UltraSump alarm will notify you when the emergency failure is running.
The TripleSafe is very powerful and offers you 3 times more protection than a simple pump. In addition, are airtight lids helps block the water vapor so as not to humidify the air. To complete the system, we have recommended the SaniDry Upright XP dehumidifier that captures up to 100 pints of water per day from your basement. The captured water is then redirected to the sump pump system and automatically evacuated away from your home. Thus, you do not need to empty the tank every day.
