Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Problem: This crawl space was very humid and full of condensation. Also as you can see it flooded.

Solution: We installed sufficient drainage with a sump pump that discharges outside. The Clean Space vapor barrier was installed to isolate the home from the earth, making it a dry & healthy space.

Note* Basement Systems sump pump was recommended.

Problem: This home's basement seeped water in and did not have an efficient sump pump. There was carpet directly on the concrete slab.

Solution: We installed a perimeter footing drain, a sump pump system with our battery backup, Bright Wall panels behind the laundry sink and Everlast Finished Wall System around the bathroom. Thermal Dry tiles were put down to keep the floor warmer and dry!

Problem: Unfinished basements can be a great area of the home to store household items that aren’t used regularly, but when shelving or storage bins line basement walls, they can hide the visible signs of water damage. When the physical water damage is present, but unseen, the basement will have a damp, musty odour and feel humid. There may also be mould growth on organic material such as cardboard boxes and wood.

Solution: Our basement waterproofing specialist discovered the areas of water intrusion, installed a French drain system, waterproofed the walls and finished it off with inorganic (mould resistant) thermal drywall.

Problem:  This basement was wet and damp in the area near the sump pump. The old sump pit was open, allowing excess moisture into the already damp basement environment, and the older pump simply wasn’t powerful enough to work effectively. The unlined pit allowed dirt and debris to clog the old pump.

Solution: Our team waterproofed the leaky walls near the sump pump, dug out and formed a new pit, installed a TripleSafe Liner and inserted the super powerful Zoeller 1/3 hp sump pump.

With this serious upgrade and regular maintenance, these homeowners are assured that their basement will stay healthy and dry – permanently!
