Problem: These owners made great use of this garage cellar as storage for their seasonal items, unfortunately, this area was experiencing water penetration for years. Mould was starting to form on the cardboard, damage items sitting on the floor and the musty smell was permeating, well… everything.
Solution: Advanced Basement Systems to the rescue! We installed CleanSpace® Drainage Matting to move the water to the updated drainage system and finished the walls off with our CleanSpace® Liner.
Now, these homeowners can store their items knowing they’ll stay safe and dry.

Problem: These home owners had an unfinished basement which during rainfall would leak. The walls were unappealing; looking old and damaged.
Solution: Our Advanced Basement Systems team waterproofed the two problem walls, then installed BrightWall® panels to give the basement a nice, clean and fresh look.
BrightWall® panels are made of a 100% waterproof rigid plastic paneling – perfect for unfinished basement walls. It's durable, washable, and will not support the growth of moud or rot. These panels also keep humidity and water vapor from passing through the foundation walls and into the basement. Any water seepage through the walls is directed into the drainage system.
What a difference!

This home in Amherstburg, ON needed some insulation! We installed closed-cell spray foam insulation at R18 (about 3" thick) on the perimeter walls.
Since this basement will not be finished with drywall, it is recommended that a thermal barrier paint is applied over the foam.
The white-finish you see on the foam is the thermal barrier paint, which we are certified to install, with an airless spray unit.
Great job Tim and Jeremy!
Problem: This home had sagging floors and high humidity due to an exposed dirt floor.
Solution: Install a vapor barrier (CleanSpace) to isolate the home from the earth. Dig and pour new concrete footings and install steel support posts (jacks) that can be adjusted over time to lift the home back up. Install a high-performance dehumidifier.

Problem: This tight, uncomfortable and ugly access adds no value or practicality to the home.
Solution: Install a well (steel or vinyl) with a removable vinyl door. This is the EverLast Door. Only doors below grade need a well.
