Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This leaking basement was only getting worse for these Rodney homeowners until they decided to call Advanced Basement Systems. Advanced installed ThermalDry wall to create a waterproof barrier while keeping the heat inside the home. We also installed our Triple Safe Sump Pump to provide three levels of protection and create peace of mind for this customer. 

Don't let the small things ruin your day or home.

Small cracks in the basement walls can eventually lead to moisture build up, ruined finished materials and mould.

Let us come in and provide a free quote to help get rid of this problem. 

Problem:  This below grade entrance was causing problems for these homeowners as it was built without a proper drainage system in place. The area was wet, a slip and fall hazard in the winter months, and the concrete floor was flaking away.  

Solution: Our specialists repaired the concrete, installed a trench drain in the floor of the entrance and directed the outlet to drain in the newly updated TripleSafe Sump Pump system.

Now the homeowners are once again enjoying the benefits of their below grade entrance!

Before

This attic in Strathroy, Ontario was in rough shape. The old pink fiberglass insulation was dirty, damaged, and no longer effective. The roof deck showed signs of black mold on the aging lumber, and without proper baffles or damming, the attic was vulnerable to wind washing and ice damming. Energy efficiency was low, air leakage was high, and the home was losing valuable heat.

After

We transformed the space completely. First, we removed all the contaminated fiberglass and treated the roof deck to eliminate the black mold. Then we installed all new baffles and damming to control airflow and prevent future ice damming issues. Next, we applied 2" (R12) of closed-cell spray foam to the attic floor, creating an airtight seal. To finish, we added R60 of blown-in cellulose for superior insulation.

Problem: The home had a high moisture content in the crawl space. The exposed earth allowed year-round humidity to cause severe damage to the wood beam.

Solution: Install new support columns to hold up the reinforced beam, along with the Clean Space vapour barrier to seal off the home from the earth and finally a high-performance dehumidifier to allow the space to be conditioned and healthy.
