Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Annual Thaw Caused Neighbourhood Flooding in Belle Ewart, ON
Challenge
Neighbours in Belle Ewart, ON had massive amounts of flooding in their basement. After the winter thaw, large amounts of water were seeping in through the foundation. The constant flooding immediately made the new homeowners regret buying that property. They were convinced that every year this would be an issue that would consistently damage their home. This wasn’t a problem that would go away on its own.
It wasn't until their neighbour decided that they would not let this annual thaw affect them anymore. That's when the homeowners saw our Clarke Basement Systems Truck. One thing led to another, and the next thing you know, System Design Specialist, Rob Malcomson, was at their home giving them a free estimate.
Solution
Rob came up with the solution to install our patented CleanSpace™ wall membrane system to direct the water, which would then drain into our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system. The WaterGuard® would then route the water to their new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, where the water is pumped out and away from the home.
Once Rob determined that the area would need all our patented Basement Systems products to fix the issues, Installation Foreman, Dave Jackson, and his team got to work.
Dave and his team of installation specialists installed the products quickly and efficiently. While working diligently, they would educate the homeowner of our process and of what they were installing. Everything was installed, and now the homeowners are thrilled! Every year, they will no longer worry about the annual thaw. A huge weight has been lifted off their shoulders, and they are extremely grateful that Clarke Basement Systems gave them a permanent solution.
