Waterproofing a Block Concrete Basement in Chatham, ON

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: 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.
