Exterior French Drain

Damages Caused by Water Infiltration:

  • Structural Damage: Water infiltrating the foundation can damage the concrete and cause cracks that can weaken the structure of the house.
  • Mold Growth: Moisture that penetrates the foundation walls can create a favorable environment for mold growth, which can be dangerous to health.
  • Health Problems: Mold can cause health problems such as allergies, respiratory problems, and fungal infections.
  • High Repair Costs: Moisture and mold problems can be expensive to repair and sometimes require major renovation work.

Our installations are carried out:

  • Excavating a trench around the foundation down to the base of the foundation. The trench must be wide enough to allow for the placement of the drainage pipe and comfortable working.
  • Cleaning the foundation and installing a waterproof membrane, installing a Delta MS drainage mat.
  • Installing a geotextile to prevent soil particles from entering the drainage pipe.
  • Installing a 4-inch perforated rigid and smooth BNQ drainage pipe in the trench. The pipe must be laid with a minimum slope of 2% to allow water to flow.
  • Installation of inspection chimneys to allow for inspection and cleaning.
  • Filling the trench with 3/4-inch clean crushed stone up to approximately 12 inches above the drainage pipe.
  • Connecting the drain to a sump.
  • Folding the geotextile over the gravel to cover the drainage pipe.
  • Backfilling the trench with compacted soil.

Installation of Drainage Carpet in Rimouski

Delta-MS is a waterproof and water vapor impermeable dimpled membrane. Its exclusive dimpled structure is vacuum-molded, creating an air gap between the membrane and the foundation wall. This unique concept allows any water that inadvertently penetrates behind the membrane to flow freely towards the perimeter footing drain. The air gap created by the dimples provides a reliable separation and complete capillary break between the foundation wall and the moisture in the soil.

Unlike sprayed-on coatings, Delta-MS can bridge major cracks and imperfections in foundation walls. It can also serve as an effective protective layer to reinforce spray-applied or self-adhesive membrane waterproofing systems.

Delta-MS is available in various dimensions, enabling seamless coverage of all foundation types with minimal seams and overlaps. Its high compressive strength, achieved through specially optimized dimple geometry and structure, provides long-lasting protection to foundation walls.

The purpose of Delta MS membrane is to protect building foundations from water infiltration and soil moisture. The membrane is designed to be installed on foundation walls, creating a waterproof barrier between the wall and the surrounding soil. It also creates an air gap between the membrane and the foundation wall, which provides a reliable separation and complete capillary break between the foundation wall and the moisture in the soil.

By using this membrane, property owners can protect their building from the harmful effects of moisture, such as mold, structural damage, and material degradation. Delta MS membrane is particularly useful in areas where rainfall is frequent or where the groundwater level is high.

The liquid waterproofing membrane is a system composed of SBS-modified elastomeric bitumen. Due to its flexibility, it is ideal for preventing water penetration and preventing the accumulation and absorption of moisture in your home's foundation.

Waterproof Membrane Installation in Rimouski

This waterproof membrane allows for a hermetic protection by eliminating the contact of the foundation walls with elements present in the soil such as sand, rock, soil, and water. The elastomeric membrane also helps.

It is important to choose the liquid membrane that is adapted to the climatic and geological conditions of your region, as well as to follow the manufacturer's instructions for its application and maintenance. If your property is located in a flood zone, it is imperative that you have a waterproof membrane installed. To choose the right membrane and install it according to the rules of the art, you must turn to the services of a specialist. Waterproofing the foundation of your building is the key to your comfort. This is why it is essential to deal with professionals such as Sous-Sol Confort.

Waterproof Membrane Installation Waterproof Membrane Installation Waterproof Membrane Installation

It is important to waterproof the foundation for several reasons:

  • Preventing water infiltration: Waterproofing the foundation helps protect the structure of the house against water infiltration, which can cause long-term damage. Water that seeps into the foundation can cause problems with moisture, mold, and wood rot, which can eventually damage the structure of the house.
  • Preventing structural damage: Water infiltration in the foundation can weaken the foundations and cause structural damage to the house. Concrete foundations can crack and disintegrate due to water, which can lead to alignment problems and structural damage.
  • Improving energy efficiency: Waterproofing the foundation can help reduce heat and energy losses by preventing moisture from entering the house. This can improve the energy efficiency of the house and reduce heating and cooling costs.

In summary, waterproofing the foundation is important to protect the structure of the house against water infiltration, prevent structural damage, and improve energy efficiency. It is an important step to consider in the construction or renovation of a house to ensure its durability and long-term sustainability.

The problem:

Mr. Samson was the victim of a spring flood that caused significant damage to his basement. Following the damage, the customer had to empty and dispose of most of his belongings. Since living there, he has not experienced a new flooding episode, unlike his neighbor. Although he had a sump pump, it was not able to meet his needs and evacuate the water that accumulated with each heavy rain.

The customer had also planned to finish his basement to make it a usable space, but he had to postpone this project until next spring for fear of experiencing such a situation again. Our client's decision was to contact Sous-Sol Confort Inc. to find the best long-term effective solution, such as installing a new FlowDrain system and a sufficiently reliable and performing SumpPlus sump pump.

The solution:

After our free evaluation visit conducted by our specialists, we recommend installing a Flow Drain French drainage system along the basement foundation walls to drain infiltrated water to the SumpPlus sump pump system.

The proposed solution involves installing our Zoeller M53 sump pump system. This system is the most reliable and efficient thanks to its triple protection, with 2 Zoeller pumps and 1 battery-powered pump in case of power outage. This sump pump system will expel water outside the house using a discharge line that will be installed in the yard. This will prevent water accumulation in the basement and maintain a dry and comfortable environment.

The problem:

With heavy rains and snowmelt, our client, Mr. Laurence, notices water infiltration in the corner between the floor and foundation wall of his basement, as well as water accumulation around the foundation. He wants a dry basement and to have his foundation waterproofed to fully enjoy his comfort.

The solution:

A specialist from our company, Sous-Sol Confort Inc., will visit the site for free to assess the basement water infiltration problem. Our solution is to waterproof the foundation from the outside to address the considerable damage to the house. To begin, we clear the foundation to access the space that needs to be excavated. Once the area is excavated, we apply our liquid membrane called Goudron. Next, we let this membrane dry before installing our second membrane called Delta MS, which is a rigid membrane that guides water towards the French drain. During the drain installation, we take measures to prevent soil and other unwanted materials from infiltrating by covering the drain with an effective filter and installing control chimneys to facilitate future inspections. We install the drain with precision to ensure optimal performance and add 30 cm of gravel to reinforce surface water drainage. Then, we use a geotextile to cover the drain to preserve the cleanliness of the stones and ensure unobstructed drainage. Once the work is complete, we install the SumPlus sump pump with an exterior discharge line to expel water away from the foundation. We also connect a Safe Guard evacuation system to the exterior discharge line. This highly effective system allows water to escape if the conduits freeze or become clogged for any reason. This system allows our client to have a dry basement and enjoy comfort in all seasons.
