Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Problem:  These homeowners in Kent County were experiencing a leaky basement for years. They were reluctant to fix the problem as they assumed that their driveway and landscaping would be destroyed in the process. In the meantime, the wet basement environment was ruining their stored items, resulting in damage and mould.

Solution: Our basement waterproofing system does not affect the outside appearance of homes. Our system directs the leaking water away from the walls and floors and into a new drain and upgraded sump pump. We finished off the walls with our ThermalDry® Basement Radiant Wall Barrier which not only keeps the water from leaking into the basement but also improves the comfort of the entire home and helps to reduce energy costs.

Problem: This home had evidence of a leaky basement. Concrete is porous and over time, water can work its way in and cause damage.

Solution:  We installed a perimeter drain in the floor along the problem basement walls. We also installed the ThermalDry® Wall system. As moisture and water passes through concrete foundation walls, the ThermalDry® Wall systems serves as both a vapour barrier and as a way to redirect water leaking into the newly installed drainage system below.

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.
