Faced with a humid, dirt crawl space and sagging floors in Pierreville, QC, this homeowner sought a dependable fix. Notice in the before photo the evident challenges; a mood dampened by deteriorating conditions underfoot. Enter Systèmes Sous-sol Québec. We transformed this beleaguered space into a robust, dry foundation with our SmartJack systems for unwavering support, CleanSpace liner to shield from moisture, and a SaniDry Sedona to maintain dryness. The after photo radiates our dedication to lasting, quality solutions for a secure and comfortable home.

At a residence in Sainte-Christine, our team replaced the old sump pump to better protect the basement against water seepage and the risk of flooding. We installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, a high-performance pumping solution consisting of three separate pumps: a primary pump, a secondary pump for heavy water accumulation, and a battery-powered backup pump that ensures operation even during a power outage.

To ensure efficient water drainage, we also added a new discharge line using the IceGuard, designed to prevent blockages caused by freezing during the winter. To reduce water accumulation around the foundation and improve stormwater management, a gutter downspout extension was also installed to divert rainwater away from the house. This combination of improvements optimizes basement drainage, protects the foundation, and maintains a dry and safe environment year-round.

The WaterGuard Drain is specifically designed to be placed above the base on a bed of rocks, slowing down the flow of water and preventing the drain from clogging. In addition, it is important that it contains a 3/8 inch built-in space between the floor and the wall to drain infiltrations from the wall. Spacers visible along the wall allow water to be collected in the drain while blocking dirt and debris. Once covered with concrete, the drain merges into the decor without damaging the structure of the foundation. In order to perform system checks, we also install an inspection port that allows access to the drain and ensures its smooth operation over the years. The WaterGuard drain is the new technology in drainage and its effectiveness is proven!

In Saint-Guillaume, QC, an uninsulated crawl space was causing floor movement and instability in the support beams, due to moisture infiltration clearly visible in the first photo. The excess humidity had begun to compromise both comfort and structural integrity.

To resolve the issue, Systèmes Sous-sol Québec installed a complete CleanSpace® Encapsulation System, paired with CleanSpace™ Drainage Matting. As shown in the ‘after’ photo, this custom solution created a sealed, durable environment that prevents moisture from entering and damaging the space.

To further enhance protection, we added the SmartDrain™ system, designed to detect plumbing leaks beneath the liner. If a leak occurs, it redirects water safely while sounding an alert—providing early warning and peace of mind for the homeowner.

This tailored approach not only stabilized the crawl space structure but also safeguarded the area against long-term moisture issues. The result is a clean, dry, and resilient foundation that helps preserve the home’s value and comfort for years to come.
