Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Problem:

These Kent Bridge homeowners experienced water entering their basement a few times in the last 5 years. They were not only looking for a permanent solution to their leaky basement, but also an attractive finishing option.

Solution:

Here’s what our team did: 

• Waterproofed the leaky basement walls with an in-floor drain which safely move water into the sump pump and away from the home. 

• We removed the lower part of the paneling and wood wall joists, as they were mouldy from the water entering.

• We installed steel wall joists, which will never rot or grow mould. 

• We installed a radiant wall barrier which helps ensure any leaking water is directed into the in-floor drain. 

• We finished the space with EverLast™ Finished Wall Restoration System, and Thermal Dry carpet, both which are made of inorganic material, so they will never mould or rot!

What a fantastic transformation! We can assure you that these homeowners are thrilled with the results.

Fiberglass insulation in attics often underperforms- especially in cold weather- and can trap moisture, host pests, and allow air leaks. That’s why removing it is the first step toward a healthier, more energy-efficient home.

We replaced this old fiberglass with high-performance cellulose insulation. It's dense, air-resistant, pest- and fire-resistant, and made from recycled materials. Combined with proper air sealing, it helps keep homes warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and more comfortable year-round.

Problem: Cottage had a wet, musty dirt crawl space.

Solution: We encapsulated it with the Clean Space liner and installed perimeter drainage with a SmartSump.

Problem:  This crawl space was damp – even wet in areas – and required improved drainage for a healthy, dry environment.

Solution: Our Advanced Basement crawl space specialist installed a sump pump specifically designed for the unique needs of a crawl space. Then our team encapsulated the entire crawl space with a CleanSpace liner which stops water vapour and humidity from entering the area, and keeps moisture levels acceptable and the crawl space nice and dry.

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 Their old sump pump system was outdated, unreliable and needed replacement.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.
