Before & After Photos

Problem:  These home owners had an unfinished basement which during rainfall would leak. The walls were unappealing; looking old and damaged.  

Solution: Our Advanced Basement Systems team waterproofed the two problem walls, then installed BrightWall® panels to give the basement a nice, clean and fresh look.

BrightWall® panels are made of a 100% waterproof rigid plastic paneling – perfect for unfinished basement walls. It's durable, washable, and will not support the growth of moud or rot. These panels also keep humidity and water vapor from passing through the foundation walls and into the basement. Any water seepage through the walls is directed into the drainage system.

What a difference!

This home in Amherstburg, ON needed some insulation!  We installed closed-cell spray foam insulation at R18 (about 3" thick) on the perimeter walls. 
Since this basement will not be finished with drywall, it is recommended that a thermal barrier paint is applied over the foam. 
The white-finish you see on the foam is the thermal barrier paint, which we are certified to install, with an airless spray unit.
Great job Tim and Jeremy! 

Problem:  These home owners were experiencing water penetrating into their unfinished basement. Their sump pump system was older, unreliable and contributing to an unhealthy level of humidity in the home.

Solution: Our team waterproofed the problematic walls, installed the ThermalDry® Wall system (which protects the basement from moisture and water as it passes through foundation walls – it serves as both a vapor barrier and as a way to redirect leaking water into the new drainage system). We completed the basement with the reliable and industry leading TripleSafe™ sump pump system.

This before and after is a great example of how all of our products work together for a dry basement. With regular maintenance, these home owners will never have basement water problems again!

Problem:  Although these home owners only used this part of their basement as cold storage, they were frustrated by the continual leaky walls and the resulting musty smell and damp feel. During the hot and humid summer months, their entire home smelled bad and felt damp.

Solution: Our team:

• Waterproofed the two leaky walls
• Installed a perimeter floor drain to direct any penetrating water into the sump pump
• Installed the ThermalDry® Wall system which serves as both a vapor barrier and a way to redirect water leaking into the new drainage system

Now, not only is their basement dry, their home is healthier as well!

Problem: There was plenty of evidence in this basement of water penetration. Aside from the appearance of mould and stains, the entire home smelled damp and musty. The high humidity caused some wood furniture to grow mould – a sure sign that it’s well past the time to fix the wet basement problem! 

Solution: Our team waterproofed the leaky walls and improved the overall drainage in the basement. No more water entering. No more musty, damp smells and no more toxic mould!
