From Wet, Useless Space to Dry, Bright Cold Room in Oshawa, Ontario

No one likes dealing with water in their basement, especially when it renders an entire room useless.

A customer in Oshawa, Ontario, had water coming in through her cold room ceiling every time it rained. She wanted to use the space to store food and items but was concerned about water damage. Fed up, she decided to call Clarke Basement Systems. 

System Design Specialist Ryan Hanlon met the customer at her home and inspected the space. He showed her our Cold Room Solution, and she was excited to see a solution that would solve her problem. 

Foreman Don Clarke installed the system in a single day’s work. The walls were encapsulated with R10 insulation, and CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier and a SmartDrain® was dug into the floor. Drainage Panelling was installed on the ceiling with a slight grade to drain water towards the back wall, and a vent was installed in the door to allow airflow.

The customer is thrilled that her cold room is finally dry. She can start using the space as she pleases and no longer has to clean water off of her floor.No one likes dealing with water in their basement, especially when it renders an entire room useless.
