Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Before

Several attempts were made to fix a large crack in a poured concrete basement wall. The material used was injected into the crack and provided a short term stop gap to the leak. Over time the wall will continue to move with freeze and thaw, the movement will make the crack repair useless as the hard material breaks away from the wall!

After

Advanced Basement Systems installed their crack repair system, The Flexispan. The system includes a urethane sealant in the crack, a drywell under the crack to drain the water and a polyurethane sealant on the wall to prevent water from leaking through. The entire system is flexible and will move with the wall as it moves over time.

Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you see cracks in your basement.

Problem: The wall is not settling but it is pushing out towards the fence.

Solution: Needs a retaining wall and a basic french drain system.

Problem:  Window wells are necessary to keep the structure around a window draining properly, keep water and debris away from the window and to improve egress.

Solution: We installed window wells on all the basement windows of this home.

This home in Woodstock, ON had basement seepage and slight bow (buckle or lean) in the block foundation wall. We can use our Carbon Armor Systems to stop the wall from moving any further. The silver vapour barrier is part of the waterproofing system and is not necessary in order to structurally stabilize the wall.
We also installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump System, replacing the old and unreliable sump. 

Before

The cottage had an unfinished and uninsulated crawl space which allows moisture, odours and cold air to penetrate the upper living levels. The HVAC system had to work harder to maintain a more comfortable living spaces above.

After

Advanced Basement Systems encapsulated the space and added spray foam insulation to the exterior walls and headers. Encapsulating the crawl space will protect the cottage by controlling moisture, preventing mould, structural damage and deterring pests. Insulation will provide temperature control and reduce the energy required to heat/cool the space.
