Clarke Basement Systems Case Studies: Basement Apartment Receives Water Seepage in Mississauga, Ontario
Challenge
Karen from Mississauga had just recently had her mom move in with her in her basement. However, a part of the basement had still not been finished, and Karen discovered water leaking through the garage wall to the basement. Karen hated knowing her mother was now living in a space with water problems as she knew it could create mould.
Solution
System Design Specialist Dean Merendino inspected Karen’s basement and created a complete waterproofing system to keep her mom happy and her basement dry! An experienced crew from CBS went and delivered exactly what we promised Karen and her mom, starting with our WaterGuard® perimeter drainage system. Next, they encapsulated the area using our CleanSpace® vapour barrier. Finally, they replaced the old sump system with our patented SuperSump® that effectively ejects any water out to the discharge line.
Karen and her mom remained impressed the whole time, from dealing with Dean to the end when the crew finished. Karen now has peace of mind, a clean and dry basement and most importantly a happy mother who can enjoy her new living space!
