Crawl Space Update - Turkey Point, ON
Before
The cottage had an unfinished and uninsulated crawl space which allows moisture, odours and cold air to penetrate the upper living levels. The HVAC system had to work harder to maintain a more comfortable living spaces above.
After
Advanced Basement Systems encapsulated the space and added spray foam insulation to the exterior walls and headers. Encapsulating the crawl space will protect the cottage by controlling moisture, preventing mould, structural damage and deterring pests. Insulation will provide temperature control and reduce the energy required to heat/cool the space.
Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you are concerned about your crawl space and how it is affecting the home.
Bowing Concrete Block Foundation Wall Help - Windsor, ON
Before
The home was showing the signs of bowing and shifting foundation walls. The stair step cracking occurs when the wall begins to bow but the reinforced corners are held in place. The reinforcement comes from the corner of the foundation wall providing an anchor to the bowing wall. Over time this condition could become worse requiring full foundation wall replacement.
After
Advanced Basement Systems installed a series of Geo Lock Channel Anchors fastened at the footing. The anchor plates are buried in the yard outside, about 12ft away from the foundation wall. They're attached to the channel with long threaded galvanized rods. This installation will halt further bowing and may straighten the existing wall over time.
Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you see signs of wall cracking in your basement!

Bowing Wall Support - Corunna, ON
Before
On the outside the home looks solid and in very good repair. Upon further inspection, the basement shows signs of shearing in the middle of the walls which indicates bowing in the structure. The walls at this stage have not shifted at the top or bottom but could eventually weaken and become a structural issue.
After
A combination of Power Braces and Carbon Armor have been used to brace the walls which will prevent any further bowing. This will allow the homeowner to begin finishing the basement knowing the walls are solid!
Give Advanced Basement Systems a call if you suspect your basement walls need help.
