Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Before

The owners of the home wanted to update the crawl space to help improve the comfort in the living areas of the home. The work included full encapsulation of the crawl space and spray foam insulation along all exterior walls.

Building code requires a thermal barrier over spray foam insulation in any interior space of a building that is heated or used as living space. This is a fire safety requirement to protect against ignition and heat spread. Areas like crawl spaces, attics, and rim joists often have exceptions, but a thermal barrier is required if these spaces are used for storage or if they have air ducts connected to the living space. 

After

Advanced Basement Systems applied a paint based coating on all exposed spray foam used to insulate the crawl space. The coating is specially designed to meet the code requirements for fire safety!

Call Advanced Basement Systems if you have exposed spray foam insulation in your home.

Before

Sump pumps are not only for basements; there are times when a crawl space will require extra drainage to prevent water from pooling into the area. The homeowners wanted full crawl space update which includes encapsulation, insulation and a sump pump system.

After

Advanced Basement Systems included their Triple Safe Sump Pump System to provide the best protection to the home. The Triple Safe has two main pumps that will perform the majority of the work, when the power goes out a battery back up pump will run when needed.

Call Advanced Basement Systems if you would like to investigate the Triple Safe sump system for your home!

Before

All penetrations into the basement area can provide access for Radon Gas. An open sump pit is an easy way for radon to enter the home. When installing a Radon Mitigation System it's import to address these openings and protect the home.

After

Advanced Basement Systems installed a closed sump pump lid as part of the Radon mitigation system. Test your home to see if you have high levels of radon gas!

The home was built over 60 years ago with block foundation walls, a dirt crawl space floor and poor insulation. The main floors are cold in the winter and the musty smell is strong throughout the house.

Advanced Basement was called for a crawl space inspection. The best option was a full CleanSpace encapsulation system, 3" of spray foam insulation on the exterior walls and header, a sump pump system to drain the water and a high-quality dehumidifier to dry out the space. The home will now be dry all year long, the musty smell from the crawl space will go away and the first-floor floors will be warmer.

Advanced Basement Systems provides home owners in London, Chatham, Windsor, Sarnia and surrounding areas complete free inspections to update outdated and troublesome crawl spaces. Contact us if you want to improve your home.

Problem: Even after replacing their sump pump system earlier in the year, this owner still experienced a large amount of water coming through their walls, especially after a heavy rain. 

Solution: We gave these homeowners a peace of mind and a dry space for them to come home to by installing our Ultra sump batter back up systems. We also installed ThermalDry wall and our perimeter drain in the floor along the problem basement wall.
