Unwanted Water Entry in Angus, ON

A home in Angus, Ontario, had water entering into the basement through one wall persistently over time. The water was causing issues with family storage and was causing concern about mould growth. The customer did not feel comfortable in the basement and was worried about storage space as well as the mould growth creating an unhealthy environment.

The customer called Clarke Basement Systems to solve the problem. Rob Malcomson went in to inspect the wet basement and noticed that they had an old sump pump that was no longer doing the job.  Jose M and the team installed a WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain, relieving pressure from beneath floor and collecting water entering the basement space. CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier was installed on the walls to receive any water entry above the floor line and direct it to the WaterGuard that would then drain towards the installed TripleSafe™ Complete Sump Pump System. The sump pump manages the water volume collected by the entire system. There is a battery backup to assure function continues in case of pump failure or power outage. We removed all of the old damaged walls stained with water and mould, making this space healthy again. The customer now has a dry, healthy basement for storage. A 25-year transferable warranty protects it.
