Before & After Photos

The smaller bungalow was built in the 1970’s with a full basement. The walls are poured concrete and in relatively good shape. Small cracks have formed over time and water seepage is starting to become more of an issue. Originally the plans for this home did not include a sump system to divert water away from the home.

Advanced Basement Systems was called to inspect and give the homeowner options to eliminate water seepage and humidity. Water Guard drainage was provided around the full perimeter of the basement along with 4 feet of Thermal Dry Barrier on the walls. A complete sump pump system with battery back-up was added for further protection. Now the home will drain the water away from the exterior walls and eliminate water seepage onto the basement floors. The humidity will diminish over time and the home will be more comfortable to live in.

Advanced Basement Systems helps home owners in London, Chatham, Windsor, Sarnia and surrounding areas waterproof basements and crawl spaces to improve the living conditions of their properties. Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you want to improve your home!

Porblem: Cracks coming off windows in poured foundations are a headache. Most solutions harden over time, crack and then fail as the foundation goes through freeze/thaw cycles. 

Solution: Our solution stays flexible to move with the foundation. it allows the water to be controlled.

Problem:  The paving stones outside this basement were not properly graded and over time water was entering the basement through the window structure.

Solution: Our team installed a window well with improved drainage and means of egress. You can learn more about our basement window waterproofing by clicking here.

Very damp and musty – lots of mould. Small basement – treated as crawl space.

Advanced Basement Systems was contacted at a home show by the owner of the house. The home is older with a 5 foot high crawl space. The foundation walls are a combination of stone and brick built over a roughly finished concrete floor. Humidity levels were consistently high allowing mould and mildew to grow.

The solution to fix this area was a complete encapsulation. Clean Space membrane was used for the entire floor, along with 3” of spray foam on all exterior walls into the header space. This will seal any water or moisture from entering the interior. A complete drainage system of Waterguard was included on all exterior walls to divert any water to 2 sump pumps to remove the water seeping through the walls. Finally, a very efficient and high performing dehumidifier was added to keep the space dry all year long.

Advanced Basement Systems works with any homes in London, Chatham, Windsor, Sarnia and surrounding areas to fix basement water problems. If your home has constant mould and moisture in the lower levels give Advanced Basement Systems a call!

Problem:  This historic home with a brick foundation in London had water entering the basement for decades. The basement was always very humid, damp and musty; the perfect environment for mould and mildew growth.

Solution: We installed a perimeter drain along the leaking walls which will move water into the home’s existing drainage system. To help keep the basement area comfortable and dry, our team installed ThermalDry® Basement Radiant Wall Barrier.
