Problem: Many people wonder, “How invasive is your basement waterproofing system?”
That depends on if the basement is finished and to what degree… of course, if the basement is finished and you’ve experienced water penetration, then likely you’ve also been frustrated by the damage it’s caused.
Solution: In this example, you can see how adding a floor drain as part of the basement waterproofing system does not affect the look or functionality of this basement – and typically, the work is completed within 2 days.

We upgraded the full sump system in this Sarnia home. A new liner, lid, pump and first section of discharge line was all redone. There was floor-wall joint seepage, so we installed our WaterGuard footing drainage, which ties into the sump pump.
Problem: Seepage through foundation.
Solution: Install new Basement Systems Everlast Wall Restoration with a waterproof perimeter.

Before
The homeowner had an old shop with steel sides and roof intended for use all year long. Simple finishing was planned for the interior, which includes proper insulation and HVAC for climate control. Spray foam is a proven method to insulate very well and will help the HVAC system keep the interior work spaces comfortable and warm in the winter and cool during the summer. It adds rigidity to the construction for durability over time along with sound buffering through the walls and ceiling.
After
Advanced Basement Systems applied a 2-lb closed-cell spray foam on the walls and vaulted ceiling to provide proper air/vapour barrier and high R value insulation. Once complete, the shop is ready for the walls and ceiling to be finished.
