Problem:  An open sump pit, an older and singular sump pump equated to problems for this homeowner in Tecumseh.

Solution: A dependable sump pump is one of the most important components of a dry basement.Our Advanced Basement Systems team installed the superior TripleSafe Sump Pump Kit. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection; for normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.

In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery.

All housed in a sealed pump liner – to keep humidity down in the basement.

Problem: Although this home is rather new, the homeowners were experiencing water penetration in the basement. The sump pump system installed by the builder was open, allowing potential debris in the pit and allowing unwanted moisture in the home.

Solution: We are the experts in “All Things Basementy” and had this home’s water issues remedied within days. We installed a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System and pit liner as well as an inspection port. We waterproofed the basement’s problem areas and improved the drainage.

Problem:  This home had a crawl space that was damp and musty. This undesirable crawl space air makes its way throughout the entire house in what’s known as the Stack Effect. The moist environment caused the fiberglass insulation to become ineffectual and saturated with water. These homeowners also needed some help with debris removal.

Solution: We encapsulated the damp dirt floor with our heavy duty CleanSpace crawl space vapour barrier liner (strong enough to walk on and store items upon!). Our team also added mould and mildew proof SprayFoam Insulation (inorganic; therefore, mould and mildew resistant) to help the home be more energy efficient.

Problem: These homeowners were experiencing a problem prevalent in homes that have an open dirt floor crawl space:

-        High humidity, resulting in a musty smelling home

-        Cold floors in the winter

-        High heating and cooling bills as they were continually heating and cooling the outdoor air which was making its way into the crawl space.

Solution: We sealed off the crawl space, encapsulating it with our Clean Space® Vapour Barrier, including the support columns. We sealed the exterior vents and added Spray Foam Insulation to the exterior walls.
