Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Wet Basement Threatens Home's Longevity in Whitevale, Ontario
Challenge
We all want our homes to be in perfect working order all of the time. That's the dream, but it doesn't always work out that way.
A customer in Whitevale, Ontario, reached out to Clarke Basement Systems after finding water on her basement floor. She wasn't sure how it was getting in but noticed it was worse during heavy rain or thaw. She was concerned about how the issue would affect her home in the long run, so she wanted the problem taken care of.
System Design Specialist Ben Wallis met with the customer and inspected her home. He discovered water was seeping in from the floor/wall joint and designed a system to keep the customer's basement dry.
Solution
Foreman Dave Jackson and his crew started by installing our WaterGuard® Drain System around the basement's perimeter. CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier was installed on the walls, guiding water down to the drain. We installed a SuperSump® Pump System and connected it to the drain. For added protection, an IceGuard® Discharge was installed to prevent any backups from freezing.
The customer is thrilled that her basement is dry and protected. She's glad she chose a trusted and proven company and is happy about having a transferrable warranty.
