Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We installed a new liner, lid and pump at this sump location in a St. Thomas home. There was also floor-wall joint seepage present, so we installed our WaterGuard drainage system, which takes groundwater seepage to the sump pump. Our ThermalDry vapour barrier in seen on the walls. 

Great work Jefferson, Jose and Nathan! 

Problem:  Even newer homes can have problem basements. This basement often felt damp and smelled musty. Excess water vapour was entering the space from the unsealed sump pump lid.

Solution: To help control humidity, we installed the super quiet and efficient SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier. It’s connected directly to their updated sump pump system, so with regular maintenance, these homeowners will never have to worry about excess moisture or a damp feeling basement again.

Problem: An unfinished cold storage area is a great place to store items to keep cool, such as canned food, even in the warm summer months. Although closed off from the rest of the house, if there’s water penetrating any area, it creates a damp, humid and unhealthy environment which affects the entire home in what is known as “The Stack Effect”.    

Solution:  We installed a French drain system on the problem walls in the cold storage area, added a powerful sump pump with a battery backup for improved drainage and reliability and finished it off with our BrightWall® rigid basement wall system. Now this cold storage area is dry, heathy and will look fantastic for years to come.

Before:

When cold weather hits, proper attic insulation is important to keep your home warm and energy efficient through the winter. Adding more insulation on top of 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 the old insulation then seal all openings before adding the required amount of blown-in cellulose. 17 inches of insulation is the recommended amount to bring the R-value up to R60.
