Problem: There was plenty of evidence in this basement of water penetration. Aside from the appearance of mould and stains, the entire home smelled damp and musty. The high humidity caused some wood furniture to grow mould – a sure sign that it’s well past the time to fix the wet basement problem! 

Solution: Our team waterproofed the leaky walls and improved the overall drainage in the basement. No more water entering. No more musty, damp smells and no more toxic mould!

Problem:  Cold floors, high utility bills and a musty smell throughout the home prompted this homeowner to contact us for help.  

Solution: Our team of crawl space specialists removed the old, wet and ineffective fiberglass and rigid insulation, and sealed off the crawl space against the heat/cold cycle which effects the crawl space air (and makes the home smell musty due to mould and mildew growth). Our installers finished off the job with Spray Foam Insulation.

Spray foam insulation is one of the newest and most-advanced types of insulation available. More and more home and business owners are choosing to have spray foam insulation installed because of its unique properties.

Unlike fiberglass and other “fluffy” insulation materials, Spray Polyurethane Foam can’t be damaged by moisture. Once installed, spray foam won’t ever fall out of place or lose its R-value because of compression like fiberglass can.

This homeowner will now enjoy improved comfort and lower utility bills!

Problem: Evidence of sewer leakage under the slab. Plumbing poorly done and not to code

Solution: Replaced with ABS drainge piping - to code. Cleaned up area for a nice and simple finished plumbing job.

Problem: These Windsor homeowners were plagued with problems related to their leaky basement: damage to stored items, damp and cold basement, and musty smells throughout their entire home.

Solution: After a thorough inspection, we created a plan to waterproof the leaky walls. To help improve the comfort of the basement and the entire home, we installed ThermalDry®️ Basement Radiant Wall Barrier, which reflects back heat, improving heating and cooling efficiency. We also installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System with a battery backup, which will keep the basement dry even during the heaviest of rains and in the event of a power failure.

This basement is now dry, healthy, comfortable, efficient and protected!
