These Windsor, Ontario homeowners had a leaky basement which was not only affecting the health of the home, but also the enjoyment of their extra living space.
They required a permanent solution to prevent future damage to the home and its contents.
This home serves as an excellent example of how our products work together for a permanent solution for a wet basement.
These homeowners chose the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. This powerful system provides three levels of protection with 2 high-performing pumps and a battery backup pump.
Our team installed a Waterguard system on the leaky walls. This system allows water to drain safely into the new sump pump system. Best of all, this product comes with a lifetime transferable warranty.
The wet and mouldy drywall was removed, and we installed Everlast™ Wall Panels. Working with the Waterguard systems, Everlast™ Wall Panels not only look fantastic, they are easy to clean and are inorganic, which will not support the growth of mould or mildew.
We finished off the project by installing the ThermalDry® Basement Floor Systems which are interlocking floor tiles made specifically for basement floors. Each tile is designed to sit on raised plastic pegs, allowing an airspace underneath, and creating a comfortable, warm and dry floor.
If you want to waterproof and finish your basement only once, we’d be pleased if you considered Advanced Basement Systems for the job. We are pleased to offer you a complimentary inspection and estimate. Please call 1-866-746-0513 or click here to submit your information online.
Problem: This home had an older and inefficient sump pump. It wasn’t able to keep up with heavy rains and also had an open lid, which not only allows debris to enter and possibly clog the pump, but also adds extra moisture into the basement air.
Solution: We installed the industry leading TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The powerful pumps will have no problem keeping up, even during times of heavy rainfall. The sealed lid means no debris will interfere with the pumps and the damp air will stay where it should: in the tank.

Problem: This homeowner was experiencing high humidity in their home, resulting in a damp, musty environment, due to a dirt floor crawl space. The dirt floor crawl space allows moisture to work its way into the entire home.
Solution: Our crew installed a CleanSpace Liner to keep the moisture from penetrating into the home and applied Spray Foam Insulation for improved home comfort and more efficient heating and cooling.

Problem: This old sump pump had a loose fitting lid, an old pump and was letting moisture, odours and bugs in! The plumbing needed to be fixed, also.
Solution: We installed one of our liners that comes with a lid that lets nearly no air up through it! It is a two-piece lid so that you may have easy access to the equipment inside. The red puck is water-alarm that has a 6" probe into the liner that will sound off an alarm if water touches it. The lid also has a one-way floor drain built in.

Problem: This multi-level home had one area which was a dirt floor crawl space. As with any lower level, this means water can penetrate up from the ground and cause water damage and excessive moisture.
Solution: Our team installed a Super Sump: a sump pump designed for crawl spaces to remove the water in the ground. Our team also installed a CleanSpace vapour barrier, encapsulating the area; to keep the moisture and humidity levels down in the crawl space.
What a transformation!
