Solution with Exterior Foundation Waterproofing System in Anjou, Montreal, QC

Challenge

Our client, Mr. Yves, was facing water infiltration problems in his basement due to heavy rains and snowmelt. He was looking for an effective solution to address these issues and wanted to enjoy a dry and comfortable basement.

Resolution

At Sous-Sol Confort Inc., we offer a comprehensive solution for waterproofing the home's foundation. We begin with a free on-site assessment to precisely identify the source of the problem. Then, we recommend exterior foundation waterproofing to prevent any future damage.

Steps of our intervention:

1. Excavation: We clear the foundation to access the area to be treated.
2. Application of a Resisto elastomeric membrane: This waterproofing membrane prevents water from penetrating the foundation.
3. Installation of a Delta MS rigid membrane: It redirects water to the French drain, thus optimizing drainage.
4. Installation of a quality French drain: We pay special attention to its installation to ensure optimal performance.
5. Addition of a 30 cm layer of gravel: This improves surface water drainage and protects the drain against obstructions.
6. Covering the drain with geotextile: This layer prevents soil infiltration and other debris, ensuring unobstructed drainage.
7. Installation of a SumPlus sump pump: Equipped with an exterior discharge line, it effectively moves water away from the foundation.
8. Implementation of the SafeGard evacuation system: It allows water evacuation even in case of freezing or conduit obstruction.

Thanks to our comprehensive and effective solution, our clients can now enjoy a dry and comfortable basement all year round.
