Solution to Ground Water Seepage in Toronto, ON

A home in Toronto, Ontario, had a problem in the basement. Over the years there was groundwater leaking into the area. It was damaging the finished walls, floor, personal items. It was also causing odours, and the homeowner did not want it to affect the rest of the home. They were also unable to use the basement space.

The customer called Clarke Basement systems and spoke to Claude Mathieu, who explained the process. Lucio and the team came in and installed WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain, Flangless WaterGuard®, ThermalDry® Wall Insulation and SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System. This system ensures that any groundwater penetrating through the basement foundation walls or building up below the basement floor is captured and pump away from the foundation. These products were used around the full perimeter of the basement and across the middle, below the concrete floor, to ensure no more basement leaks.

The homeowner can now refinish basement and use the space with no concerns of groundwater leaking in.
