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.

Problem: This basement was wet and damp in the area near the sump pump. The old sump pit was open, allowing excess moisture into the already damp basement environment, and the older pump simply wasn’t powerful enough to work effectively. The unlined pit allowed dirt and debris to clog the old pump.
Solution: Our team waterproofed the leaky walls near the sump pump, dug out and formed a new pit, installed a TripleSafe Liner and inserted the super powerful Zoeller 1/3 hp sump pump.
With this serious upgrade and regular maintenance, these homeowners are assured that their basement will stay healthy and dry – permanently!

These Wallaceburg homeowners completed their basement waterproofing project with 22 feet of our ThermalDry wall system and WaterGuard products.
Problem: This home in Port Lambton had significant and ongoing problems with water entering their basement even during modest rainfalls. Their old sump pump system was outdated, unreliable and needed replacement. The basement environment and the entire home was affected by this humid basement with musty smells and a damp feeling.
Solution: This was an incredible transformation! Our team waterproofed the leaky walls, installed a perimeter drain, installed the best sump pump system on the market (with a battery backup in case of a power outage!) and finished it off with BrightWall® panels. BrightWall® is a 100% waterproof rigid plastic panelling for unfinished basement walls. It's durable, washable, and will not support the growth of mould or rot.
These homeowners will now enjoy their clean and dry basement and healthier home.
