Living with a Leaky Basement... For 40 Years!

More than a decade ago, we were approached by a homeowner in Essex County, Ontario who lived in a near century old cobblestone farmhouse – whose basement leaked for more than 40 years!

With high ceilings and stone floors, this family of six really could have used the extra space, and they missed out on years of practical use because the basement leaked from even the slightest amount of rainfall. During heavy rains, the basement would have one or more inches of water pooling on the floor.

Weather forecasting wasn’t as accurate in the past as it is now, and over the years, this family lost clothing, stored items and even family heirlooms. They experienced mould in their basement and a continual musty smell and affected the family with allergy symptoms.

Why did this homeowner not remedy their wet basement? They never knew there was a waterproofing system available that:

• Did not involve digging up the exterior of the home
• Was affordable
• Offered a warrantied, permanent solution

…Until she saw an Advanced Basement Systems commercial! From the commercial, she learned the general idea behind our basement waterproofing system, and she took the first step and called for a free estimate.

Impressed by the inspector’s knowledge and confidence in offering a permanent fix for her leaky basement, the installation crew was booked, and two days later her home never leaked again… and that was more than 10 years ago!

We’ve been servicing her sump pump (a crucial element to a dry basement!) and visiting her yearly since she had the waterproofing system installed in her home, and her only regret is that she didn’t contact us sooner!

What this homeowner would like you to know is that regardless of the age or style of your home, and no matter how much it leaks or for how long, Advanced Basement Systems has a permanent solution for your wet basement.
