Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

Our team installed:

-         A new beam
