Leaky and Cold Unfinished Basement in Comber, ON

Before	After

Problem:  This older home in the country had visible signs of water damage in their unfinished basement on the concrete block walls. The basement was damp and very cold during the winter months.

Solution: We installed a perimeter drain along the problem walls to safely move the leaking water to the home’s sump pump system. While not all homeowners have a need to finish their basement, an unfinished basement can affect a home's energy efficiency and comfort. Our crew also installed a ThermalDry® Wall system. It protects your finished basement from moisture and water that naturally passes through concrete foundation walls. This product serves as both a vapour barrier and also as a way to redirect water leaking through the basement walls into the new perimeter drainage system.

This radiant barrier ensures that the heat stays in the home, improving energy efficiency and comfort.

Wet Basement Repair in Comber, ON

Before	After

Problem:  These Comber homeowners had two basement walls which leaked during heavy rains and an older sump pump with an open sump pit. These combined factors created a very humid and undesirable environment in their basement and throughout their entire home.  

Solution: We waterproofed the problematic walls. The new perimeter drain will direct any water into their upgraded sump pump system – their new system includes a battery backup to help protect the homeowners in case of rain during a power outage.  Our team 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.

Because this home is prone to having a humid basement environment, these homeowners also opted to have the super quiet, efficient and hassle-free SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier.

Smart homeowners! Thanks for choosing Advanced Basement Systems!
