Solution Against Basement Water Infiltration in Mont-Royal, QC
Challenge
Our client, Ms. Lina, noticed signs of water infiltration and a musty odor in her basement. Her goal was to be able to use this space without these inconveniences and enjoy optimal comfort.
Resolution
Our specialists at Sous-Sol Confort conducted a free assessment and recommended installing an interior drain system, combined with a SumPlus sump pump. This system effectively evacuates infiltrated water to the outside of the house, ensuring a dry and comfortable basement.
Steps of our intervention:
- Interior drain installation
- A trench is dug around the interior perimeter of the basement, at the joint between the wall and the floor.
- The interior drain is placed on a bed of gravel to facilitate water flow.
- Once installed, the trench is covered with concrete, ensuring a neat and durable finish.
- SumPlus sump pump system installation
- A perforated basin is installed at a depth of two feet in the ground.
- A support is added to elevate and stabilize the pump.
- A battery-powered alarm is installed to alert in case of excessive water levels.
- A hermetic cover with a floor drain is attached to prevent moisture evaporation.
- Water evacuation
- The collected water is directed outside the house through an independent SafeGard discharge line.
- This system ensures effective protection against water infiltration, even during power outages.
Thanks to this comprehensive solution, Ms. Lina now benefits from a dry, healthy basement that she can fully utilize without any inconvenience.
