Before & After Photos

Problem: The homeowner required improved access to their crawl space.

Solution: We installed a steel window well, as part of the crawl space access is below grade and added an EverLast crawl space access door which seals tightly for an ideal crawl space environment.

Problem:  These homeowners had an old sump pump system and pit which was open, creating a humid environment in the home. They were also experiencing some drainage problems and cracks in their basement floor.

Solution: We successfully installed a new SuperSump+™ Sump Pump System. We moved the location of their sump pump, filled in the old pit, filled the floor cracks, and improved their drainage system.

The home was built with block walls, a poured concrete floor with a round sump pit. The pit included a pedestal sump pump and no lid to seal it. Over time the walls developed seepage as shown and the basement felt damp.

Advanced Basement Systems installed their Water Guard basement drainage with a vapour barrier to take care of the water vapour on the walls. The owner elected to use the existing sump pit with a new pump, sealed lid and battery back-up from us. The sump is now sealed as it should be, so the basement will have a chance to dry out!

If you have an old sump system and would like to upgrade, give Advanced Basement Systems a call.

Before:

When a sump pump is included in a crawl space it must be treated the same way as a full basement. It should be checked regularly to ensure it works properly, the drainage lines need to be clear to move water away and it should be a sealed lid to keep moisture from the space.

In this case, the sump system was built into a dirt floor with an open pit.

After:

Advanced Basement Systems installed their Clean Space encapsulation over the dirt floor to seal the area and they installed a new pump and airtight lid to complete the job.

Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you have a Crawl Space that needs attention.

When this newer home in Glencoe started to experience a small leak in their basement they reached out to another company to help fix their problem. As a few years passed, they noticed the problem didn't go away and decided to call Advanced Basement Systems to permanently fix the leak. The problem was solved with our WaterGuard interior drainage system, ThermalDry wall and our SuperSump system.
