Advanced Basement Systems 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.

Challenge: Access doors or open vents in a crawl space is one of the areas where the outside environment enters and affects an entire home. 

Solution: A sealed crawl space access is one of the many things we do when encapsulating a crawl space. We also installed a well for improved access and drainage.

Challenge: This crawl space could be described as “high and dry”... but the dirt floor and lack of insulation on the exterior walls made the home’s floor cold during the winter months. 

Solution: We completely sealed the crawl space from the outside environment, and added spray foam insulation. Spray foam offers a  high R-value, sealing air leaks and also serving as a moisture barrier.

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.
