Thanks to Our Basement Infiltration Solutions in Terrebonne, QC

Challenge

Mr. Guy was facing significant water infiltration and humidity problems in his basement. Water stains were visible on the drywall, and water accumulation on the floor was causing considerable damage to the walls and flooring. The source of the issue was at the foundation walls, specifically at the joints between the foundation walls and the floor, which allowed water and exterior humidity to infiltrate. This situation compromised not only the structural integrity but also Mr. Guy's comfort and quality of life.

Resolution

Mr. Guy contacted Sous-Sol Confort for a reliable and durable solution. Our experts implemented a comprehensive and tailored intervention:

1. Removal of Drywall:
   • The basement drywall was removed to provide direct access to the foundation walls for in-depth work.
2. Sealing of Wall Cracks:
   • We used polyurethane injection to seal the cracks. This waterproof material blocks water infiltration and redirects it to the interior drain. Its flexibility also allows it to adapt to future movements of the walls, ensuring a long-lasting and effective solution.
3. Creating a Trench and Installing an Interior Drainage System:
   • A trench was dug at the base of the foundation walls, where an interior drainage system was installed. This system collects infiltrated water and redirects it to a SumPlus sump pump for fast and reliable evacuation.
4. Installation of Delta MS Drainage Membrane:
   • A Delta MS membrane was applied to the foundation walls. This membrane redirects water to the interior drain, preventing direct contact with the interior walls. It also reduces humidity and provides the basement with a clean, bright appearance.
5. Installation of a SumPlus Sump Pump:
   • A SumPlus sump pump, equipped with a backup power supply, was installed to ensure continuous operation, even during power outages. An integrated alarm alerts the occupants if the backup pump is activated, ensuring optimal peace of mind.
6. Installation of the SafeGard System and AlorAir HD55 Dehumidifier:
   • SafeGard accessories were added to the discharge line to ensure optimal water evacuation. This device prevents blockages caused by debris or mud while discreetly integrating with the exterior layout.

Additionally, an AlorAir HD55 dehumidifier was installed to effectively reduce ambient humidity in the basement. This powerful device helps maintain a healthy and comfortable environment by preventing mold formation and improving indoor air quality.

Thanks to these interventions, Mr. Guy now has a dry, healthy basement protected from water infiltration and humidity. He can now consider finishing his basement with confidence in a comfortable, secure space.
