Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Leaky Form Holes Ties, Barrie, ON
Challenge
The home owner in Barrie, Ontario, had multiple form hole ties leaking into the basement. The home was built on a street that has a severe grade and in the spring thaw and very heavy rains the basement would leak and the carpets would get wet. The challenge was to come up with a solution that would fix the current problems and to make sure the basement floor stayed dry all the time. This home as a 2300- square foot home with half of the basement finished.
Solution
The customer wanted to keep the whole basement dry and fix his walls and install a new sump pit. Clarke Basement Systems team came in and came up with the solution. We installed a full perimeter WaterGuard System to keep the whole basement dry with a life time warranty transferable when they decide to sell. They covered the wall with CleanSpace Wall Membrane to reduce the amount of moisture that was defusing into the home. And to install the SumpSump pump system to manage the water collected by the WaterGuard. Now the home will stay dry during heavy rain and spring thaw.
