Advanced Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

Problem:  These home owners were experiencing water penetrating into their unfinished basement. Their sump pump system was older, unreliable and contributing to an unhealthy level of humidity in the home.

Solution: Our team waterproofed the problematic walls, installed the ThermalDry® Wall system (which protects the basement from moisture and water as it passes through foundation walls – it serves as both a vapor barrier and as a way to redirect leaking water into the new drainage system). We completed the basement with the reliable and industry leading TripleSafe™ sump pump system.

This before and after is a great example of how all of our products work together for a dry basement. With regular maintenance, these home owners will never have basement water problems again!

Problem:  Although these home owners only used this part of their basement as cold storage, they were frustrated by the continual leaky walls and the resulting musty smell and damp feel. During the hot and humid summer months, their entire home smelled bad and felt damp.

Solution: Our team:

• Waterproofed the two leaky walls
• Installed a perimeter floor drain to direct any penetrating water into the sump pump
• Installed the ThermalDry® Wall system which serves as both a vapor barrier and a way to redirect water leaking into the new drainage system

Now, not only is their basement dry, their home is healthier as well!

Before

The home owner built a new detached garage and wanted the entire structure insulated.

After

Advanced Basement Systems applied a 3”, 2lb closed-cell spray foam on the walls and attic decking to provide proper air/vapour barrier and high R-value insulation.
