Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Water Seepage Soaks Finished Basement in Cameron, Ontario
Challenge
Having a finished basement is great, but it's a horrible feeling to walk down there and find water on your floor and running down your walls.
A customer in Cameron, Ontario, reached out to us after finding water in his finished basement. He was frustrated and stressed when he called, but he was relieved to hear we had a solution for him.
Solution
After meeting with System Design Specialist Chris Luke, a date was set to repair his basement. Chris designed a full waterproofing system that would give the customer peace of mind for years to come.
Our crew worked hard by first jackhammering a trench around the basement's perimeter, where our WaterGuard® Drain System was installed. From there, water is drained to a brand new SuperSump® Sump Pump, where water is expelled outside. To prevent any backups due to freezing, we installed an IceGuard® Discharge Line with a built-in overflow. Lastly, the walls were encapsulated with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier to stop water from seeping through the walls.
The customer is thrilled that his basement is dry again. He's looking forward to repairing some of the finishing and having his basement whole again.
