Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner had an old shop with steel sides and roof intended for use all year long. Simple finishing was planned for the interior, which includes proper insulation and HVAC for climate control. Spray foam is a proven method to insulate very well and will help the HVAC system keep the interior work spaces comfortable and warm in the winter and cool during the summer. It adds rigidity to the construction for durability over time along with sound buffering through the walls and ceiling.

After

Advanced Basement Systems applied a 2-lb closed-cell spray foam on the walls and vaulted ceiling to provide proper air/vapour barrier and high R value insulation. Once complete, the shop is ready for the walls and ceiling to be finished.

If you are planning a project and would like more information about insulation, give Advanced Basement Systems a call to find out how we can help!

Problem: This home had a very tight crawl space with several problems. The plastic barrier was ineffectual at maintaining a proper humidity level in the crawl space. The home had sloping floors and gaps in walls and ceilings due to inadequately supported beams and joists. One of the main beams in the home was failing and needed replacement.  

Solution:  Our crew installed a CleanSpace Liner to keep the moisture from penetrating into the home and applied Spray Foam Insulation to the headers area for improved home comfort and more efficient heating and cooling. We replaced the beam with a 3 ply beam and updated their supports with our heavy duty SmartJack.

Problem:  These homeowners in Kent County were experiencing a leaky basement for years. They were reluctant to fix the problem as they assumed that their driveway and landscaping would be destroyed in the process. In the meantime, the wet basement environment was ruining their stored items, resulting in damage and mould.

Solution: Our basement waterproofing system does not affect the outside appearance of homes. Our system directs the leaking water away from the walls and floors and into a new drain and upgraded sump pump. We finished off the walls with our ThermalDry® Basement Radiant Wall Barrier which not only keeps the water from leaking into the basement but also improves the comfort of the entire home and helps to reduce energy costs.

Problem: This home had evidence of a leaky basement. Concrete is porous and over time, water can work its way in and cause damage.

Solution:  We installed a perimeter drain in the floor along the problem basement walls. We also installed the ThermalDry® Wall system. As moisture and water passes through concrete foundation walls, the ThermalDry® Wall systems serves as both a vapour barrier and as a way to redirect water leaking into the newly installed drainage system below.

Problem: This small concrete crock houses an inefficient pump. It's very small and any rush of water could flood the basement.

Solution: We removed the concrete crock and installed our attractive, large Super Sump unit.
