Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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provides home owners in London, Chatham, Windsor, Sarnia and surrounding areas complete free inspections to update outdated and troublesome crawl spaces.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.

Before:

Many homes were built using fiberglass batt insulation in the attic. It does add insulation R value but not to the recommended amount for Ontario weather. Adding more insulation on top of the old may not give you the results you need to keep the home comfortable. A continuous vapour barrier under the insulation is a vital component to keep warm air in and cold air out.

After:

Advanced Basement Systems will remove old insulation, then seal all openings in the vapour barrier before adding the required amount of blown in cellulose. 17 inches of cellulose blown in insulation is the recommended amount to bring the R-value up to R60.

If your home has wide temperature swings or the HVAC systems runs often, this could be a sign of attic insulation issues.

Give Advanced Basement Systems a call for complete home insulation upgrades.

We fully changed out everything about the sump pump in this Wyoming home. We removed the existing, small liner. After installing a new footing drain around the permitter of the home (seepage was present), we installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This has 2 submersible pumps, on independent discharge lines. It also has a battery back-up system, our UltraSump4 with a battery specially designed to charge back-up systems.  
This sump is for homeowners who want no worries! 

Great install Nathan, Jefferson and Jose! 

Before

The home was built with concrete block foundation walls and a poured concrete floor. Signs show water seeping through the walls and along the base where the floor joins. This will increase moisture and humidity in the basement allowing mould to grow on any organic material.

After

Advanced Basement Systems installed the Waterguard Drainage System which includes Thermal Dry Wall covering and a sump system to move the water away from the home. If you see signs of water on the walls, high levels of humidity or mould growth in your basement give Advanced Basement Systems a call!
