Waterproofing an Old Basement in St. Thomas, ON
Problem: This century-old home had the challenge of mixed foundation types as well as varying levels. The basement leaked even during moderate rainfall which caused excess humidity and all the problems associated with an excessively humid environment.
Solution: With our interior waterproofing process, we were able to successfully and permanently fix this leaky basement. We waterproofed the leaking walls, improved the drainage in the space and also installed a sump pump more than capable of helping to keep the basement dry.

Wet Basement Cold Storage Area, St. Thomas ON
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.

Water Penetrating Through the Floor of a Basement Springfield, ON
Problem: This home has an unfinished basement that is used to house the laundry and mechanical components of the home; such as the hot water tank, electrical and the heating system. There was considerable evidence that water was penetrating from some of the exterior walls as well as up through the floor of the basement; causing cracks, water to pool on the floor and damage to the systems of the home.
Solution: Our team installed a perimeter drain on the leaky walls as well as a trench drain in the problem areas of the floor. We then finished off with some concrete work. Now these homeowners enjoy a clean, dry and safe basement as well as peace of mind knowing that the basement and home’s systems won’t suffer from any further water damage.
What a transformation!

Basement Wall Crack - Thamesford, ON
Before
Several attempts were made to fix a large crack in a poured concrete basement wall. The material used was injected into the crack and provided a short term stop gap to the leak. Over time the wall will continue to move with freeze and thaw, the movement will make the crack repair useless as the hard material breaks away from the wall!
After
Advanced Basement Systems installed their crack repair system, The Flexispan. The system includes a urethane sealant in the crack, a drywell under the crack to drain the water and a polyurethane sealant on the wall to prevent water from leaking through. The entire system is flexible and will move with the wall as it moves over time.
Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you see cracks in your basement.
