Basement Spray Foam and DC315 - London, ON
This unfinished and uninsulated basement in London needed some spray foam! We also covered the spray foam with DC315 (thermal barrier paint)- but why? The thermal barrier is required for occupied spaces or service spaces (attics and crawlspaces) that house any appliances i.e. furnace, HRV, HWT. The exemption exists only in service spaces that are strictly only running ductwork, piping or wiring. If the area is served by stairs or has access and is used for storage, these areas are considered livable and therefore require the exposed spray foam to be covered with a product like DC315, or with drywall.
This is why spaces with drywall over the spray foam insulation do not require DC315 paint.
Basement Repairs in London, ON
Challenge: These London homeowners thought they could seal the issue on their own until they recently noticed they were not properly filled and have been letting moisture in behind the drywall.
Solution: We installed our interior waterproofing system with our in-floor drain, moving any seeping water in the sump pump. We provided these homeowners with a peace of mind by installing our TripleSafe sump pump systems, with three levels of protection, these homeowners are ready for the heaviest rainfall. Finally, our team installed our full height, ThermalDry wall barrier to help reflect heat back into their dry space.
Radon Gas Solutions - St Thomas, ON
Radon is a radioactive, colourless, odorless and tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of uranium in the soil. When it decays it will travel through the dirt and seek any openings in the lower levels of homes. There can be many openings in the basement of homes including floor and wall cracks, open sump pits, damaged floor drains or brittle mortar between blocks.
Repairing the openings is just one step to mitigate radon gas that is entering the basement. Once the area is sealed properly, Radon Gas venting should be added to protect the occupants. Advanced Basement Systems was called to do a complete mitigation system in this home. Fixing all the cracks then adding the vent system will reduce the Radon Gas Levels making the home safe to live in.
If you are worried about living with Radon Gas, call Advanced Basement Systems to protect yourself and your family.
Waterproofing an Old Basement in St. Thomas, ON
Problem: This century-old home had the challenge of mixed foundation types as well as varying levels. The basement leaked even during moderate rainfall which caused excess humidity and all the problems associated with an excessively humid environment.
Solution: With our interior waterproofing process, we were able to successfully and permanently fix this leaky basement. We waterproofed the leaking walls, improved the drainage in the space and also installed a sump pump more than capable of helping to keep the basement dry.
