Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Problem: This poured concrete foundation has a hairline crack which is letting water in. The fiberglass insulation is soaking up this water and is starting to mould. The foundation crack comes off the bottom corner of a window, which is very common due to a structural weakness.

Solution: A flexible, 3 layer, textured urethane and foam material is applied. Our patended Flexi Span comes with a 25 year warranty.

Problem: This home’s crawl space was damp and musty. Through what is known as The Stack Effect, this undesirable air made its way into the home, resulting in musty, damp and mouldy smells. Some of the fibreglass insulation on the exterior walls was wet and had lost its insulating properties.

Solution: We improved the drainage in the space and encapsulated the dirt floor with our heavy duty CleanSpace crawl space vapour barrier. Our team also added mould and mildew proof SprayFoam Insulation on the exterior walls and also as a sealant on the vapour barrier. 

Problem: These homeowners were experiencing many problems with their home as a result of a poor crawl space environment.

-        Sloping floors as a result of shifting supports

-        The wet crawl space created a musty, damp smell in their house

-        Mould forming on the wood beams as a result of the high humidity

-        Cold floors in the winter months and high energy costs

Solution: This was a big job, involving many important components and we were up for the task!

Our team:

-        Encapsulating the space with our Clean Space® Vapour Barrier.

-        Installed new SmartJack® Crawl Space Support Beam Stabilizers.

-        Replaced a failing support beam.

-        We sealed the exterior vents and added Spray Foam Insulation to some exterior walls.

-        Installed our super quiet, efficient and nearly maintenance-free SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier.

This transformation is another example of how our products work together for a smart solution to crawl space challenges.

Problem:  Unlevel concrete poses several problems for homeowners:

• Tripping hazard, particularly in high traffic areas
• When concrete sloped towards the home, it can increase the likelihood of water penetration into the basement or crawlspace
• Unsightly and unattractive; affecting the enjoyment of this patio area

Solution:  We raised and levelled the sunken concrete slabs with PolyLevel.

Problem:  Not all sump pumps are created equal – and they are a critical element to having and keeping a dry basement and a healthy home. This home had an unusual and ineffectual system which needed replacement.  

Solution:  Our team installed the powerful and efficient Zoeller 1/3 hp sump pump with a TripleSafe liner kit. Now with regular yearly maintenance, this homeowner is assured that their sump pump can keep up even during the heaviest of rains.
