Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Water Seepage Soaks Belongings in Newmarket, Ontario
Challenge
We all have items in our homes that are important to us. We may not use them all the time, but they have a special place in our hearts nonetheless.
A customer in Newmarket, Ontario, was upset when he discovered many of his belongings soaking wet in his basement. He had previously had his basement repaired with a different company, but the work was starting to fail.
Solution
Concerned for his home and wanting his basement appropriately fixed this time around, the customer reached out to Clarke Basement Systems and met with System Design Specialist Ben Wallis. Ben designed a unique system to meet the customer’s needs, and a date was set for the installation.
Foreman Lucio Flores worked hard installing the waterproofing system. A full perimeter of WaterGuard® was installed to catch any water seeping from the floor and drain it to the new TripleSafe® Sump Pump. The walls were encapsulated with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier to keep the space dry and drain any water down to the drain.
The customer can’t wait to start using his basement again. His belongings are safe and dry, and his basement has finally been repaired properly.
