A Fresh Start: Repairing and Finishing a Wet Basement in Kent Bridge, Ontario

Problem:

These Kent Bridge homeowners experienced water entering their basement a few times in the last 5 years. They were not only looking for a permanent solution to their leaky basement, but also an attractive finishing option.

Solution:

Here’s what our team did: 

• Waterproofed the leaky basement walls with an in-floor drain which safely move water into the sump pump and away from the home. 

• We removed the lower part of the paneling and wood wall joists, as they were mouldy from the water entering.

• We installed steel wall joists, which will never rot or grow mould. 

• We installed a radiant wall barrier which helps ensure any leaking water is directed into the in-floor drain. 

• We finished the space with EverLast™ Finished Wall Restoration System, and Thermal Dry carpet, both which are made of inorganic material, so they will never mould or rot!

What a fantastic transformation! We can assure you that these homeowners are thrilled with the results.
