Before & After Photos

Problem: This poured concrete foundation has a hairline crack which is letting water in. The fiberglass insulation is soaking up this water and is starting to mould. The foundation crack comes off the bottom corner of a window, which is very common due to a structural weakness.

Solution: A flexible, 3 layer, textured urethane and foam material is applied. Our patended Flexi Span comes with a 25 year warranty.

Problem:  This older home in the country had visible signs of water damage in their unfinished basement on the concrete block walls. The basement was damp and very cold during the winter months.

Solution: We installed a perimeter drain along the problem walls to safely move the leaking water to the home’s sump pump system. While not all homeowners have a need to finish their basement, an unfinished basement can affect a home's energy efficiency and comfort. Our crew also installed a ThermalDry® Wall system. It protects your finished basement from moisture and water that naturally passes through concrete foundation walls. This product serves as both a vapour barrier and also as a way to redirect water leaking through the basement walls into the new perimeter drainage system.

This radiant barrier ensures that the heat stays in the home, improving energy efficiency and comfort.

Problem:  These Comber homeowners had two basement walls which leaked during heavy rains and an older sump pump with an open sump pit. These combined factors created a very humid and undesirable environment in their basement and throughout their entire home.  

Solution: We waterproofed the problematic walls. The new perimeter drain will direct any water into their upgraded sump pump system – their new system includes a battery backup to help protect the homeowners in case of rain during a power outage.  Our team 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.

Because this home is prone to having a humid basement environment, these homeowners also opted to have the super quiet, efficient and hassle-free SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier.

Smart homeowners! Thanks for choosing Advanced Basement Systems!

Problem:  The access to this crawl space was very tight. The opening also allowed the undesirable outside weather and critters to enter the crawl space area.

Solution: We improved the drainage around the access, enlarged it to aid in entry and sealed it with one of our maintenance-free EverLast™ Crawl Space Doors.

• Access improved.
• Drainage improved.
• Weather and critters kept outside.

Job done! Thank you for choosing Advanced Basement Systems!

Problem: These homeowners in Kent County contacted Advanced Basement Systems to improve their wet crawl space environment. At one time, the homeowners placed plastic on the ground to help control the moisture and damp environment from permeating the entire home: to no avail.

Solution: Our team offered a permanent solution for these homeowners. We:  

-        Removed the ineffective barrier

-        Sealed off the crawl space from the outside environment

-        Installed our super long lasting and durable Clean Space® Vapour Barrier

-        Installed a sump pump especially designed for crawl spaces to help control this naturally wet space

All our products work together to create a clean and dry crawl space. With regular sump pump maintenance, these homeowners will enjoy a healthier home.
