Basement Wall Restoration in Chatham, ON

Before	After

Problem: This home's basement seeped water in and did not have an efficient sump pump. There was carpet directly on the concrete slab.

Solution: We installed a perimeter footing drain, a sump pump system with our battery backup, Bright Wall panels behind the laundry sink and Everlast Finished Wall System around the bathroom. Thermal Dry tiles were put down to keep the floor warmer and dry!

Improving a Crawl Space Access in Kent County, ON

Before	After

Problem: These home owners contacted Advanced Basement Systems to improve their crawl space environment for the benefit and health of the entire home. The access area was unlevel, often wet and not properly enclosed.

Solution: With crawl space accesses, there are two important points to remember:

1. The access needs to be accessible.
2. The access needs to be sealed so the outside fluctuations in temperature and humidity do not affect the improved crawl space environment.

Our team did a great job improving this access area for ease of entry and to seal off the outside environment from the crawl space.

Sump Pump Upgrade in Chatham, ON

Before	After

Problem: The existing sump system had no lid, one pump and a water-powered back-up pump. Water-powered back-ups have proven to be unreliable due to how slowly they pump, the need of excessive maintenance and of course the risk they hold as they introduce more water into our basement space. 

Solution: Install a unit with two submersible pumps on seperate discharge lines (very important) and a battery back-up system. This battery back-up uses a maintenance-free deep-cell battery, which is designed to give a little bit of power over a long period of time- the opposite of a car battery.
