Before & After Photos

Problem: The home had a high moisture content in the crawl space. The exposed earth allowed year-round humidity to cause severe damage to the wood beam.

Solution: Install new support columns to hold up the reinforced beam, along with the Clean Space vapour barrier to seal off the home from the earth and finally a high-performance dehumidifier to allow the space to be conditioned and healthy.

Before

The house has a crack in the poured concrete basement wall, which is a common occurrence. It does not pose as a structural issue but often times will lead to water leakage. In this home the basement was finished.

After

Advanced Basement Systems installed their crack repair system called 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 or suspect cracks in you basement walls.

Before

The homeowners called Advanced Basement Systems when they noticed several spots of moisture along the bottom of the finished basement walls. When the drywall was removed, several wall cracks and seepage along the floor revealed the issues causing the moisture.

After

Advanced Basement Systems installed the Water Guard system to alleviate the seepage along the floor-wall joint and a Flexispan Crack Repair to the cracks near the windows. The entire system will stop the water and allow the basement to dry and become a comfortable living space again!

Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you see moisture in your basement.

Problem: These Dutton homeowner had a major leak during the wet Spring months that resulted in their entire basement flooding.

Solution: We installed a perimeter drain in the floor along the problem basement walls. We also installed the ThermalDry® Wall system as well as our TripleSafe Sump pump system to ensure these homeowners a peace of mind come the following Spring.

Before:

The home was built using concrete block foundation walls with a concrete floor. Overtime the walls developed seepage and water accumulated along the floor. The water created a condition perfect for mould growth and wood rot.

After:

Advanced Basement Systems installed their drainage system call Waterguard and a Vapour Barrier membrane to collect the seepage and divert it into Waterguard. The complete system should include drainage, wall (vapour) barrier, sump pump and dehumidifier to manage the situation. Advanced Basement Systems installs inspection ports into the drainage which allows regular servicing.
