Waterproofing and Installation of an Interior Drain in the Basement in Saint-Sulpice, QC

Challenge

Our client, Mr. François Rouleau, was facing a recurring water infiltration problem in his basement. Every year, his foundation allowed a quantity of water to enter, gradually deteriorating his wooden floor due to the excess moisture. In search of a permanent solution, he turned to the internet to find answers. After comparing several options, he ultimately chose Sous-Sol Confort.

Resolution

After scheduling an appointment with our specialist, he took the time to thoroughly assess the situation and propose customized solutions. Here are the recommended steps:

1. Installation of the Interior Drainage System:
   • Installation of a French drain inside the basement to prevent the accumulation of debris and soil, which can block traditional drainage systems. This system makes maintenance and cleaning easier, ensuring optimal drainage performance.
2. Waterproofing of the Walls:
   • Application of the Delta MS membrane on the basement walls to create a waterproof barrier against moisture and prevent future water infiltration.
3. Water Evacuation System:
   • Installation of a SumpPlus pump, Zoeller M-98 model, to effectively evacuate collected water.
   • Installation of a Zoeller Aquanot SPIN 508 battery backup pump, capable of handling large volumes of water in case of power failure. This model is also equipped with alarm systems to notify the owners in case of issues, ensuring continuous protection against flooding.

Result

Thanks to this comprehensive solution, Mr. Rouleau now enjoys a basement secured against infiltrations and flooding, while his wooden floor is protected from moisture and mold. The installation of the drainage system and the backup pump guarantees a dry and safe environment, even during extreme weather conditions.
