Before & After Photos

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.

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: These home owners contacted Advanced Basement Systems to improve their crawl space environment for the benefit and health of the entire home. The access area was unlevel, often wet and not properly enclosed.

Solution: With crawl space accesses, there are two important points to remember:

1. The access needs to be accessible.
2. The access needs to be sealed so the outside fluctuations in temperature and humidity do not affect the improved crawl space environment.

Our team did a great job improving this access area for ease of entry and to seal off the outside environment from the crawl space.

Before

Sump pumps are not only for basements; there are times when a crawl space will require extra drainage to prevent water from pooling into the area. The homeowners wanted full crawl space update which includes encapsulation, insulation and a sump pump system.

After

Advanced Basement Systems included their Triple Safe Sump Pump System to provide the best protection to the home. The Triple Safe has two main pumps that will perform the majority of the work, when the power goes out a battery back up pump will run when needed.

Call Advanced Basement Systems if you would like to investigate the Triple Safe sump system for your home!
