Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Mould Prevention in Scarborough, Ontario
Challenge
Our customer in Scarborough, ON, discovered water coming up from the floor-wall joint in their basement. Luckily the proactive customer knew that water and a pinch of humidity is a recipe for mould to flourish. They called and made an appointment with System Design Specialist Ben Wallis.
Solution
When Ben expertly evaluated the problem, he proposed the best option to prevent any further damage down the line. The customers were very relieved to hear their home would be looked after, along with their air quality.
Foreman Lucio Flores and his crew successfully installed the waterproofing system this basement needed. First, they encapsulated the area with our CleanSpace® liner. This vapour barrier works as a layer to permanently protect the space from any pests, moisture, and humidity. Next, they carefully installed a drainage system along the basement perimeter. This is known as our WaterGuard® system that manages any water attempting to infiltrate into the basement and directs it to the sump pump. Finally, our SuperSump® is an innovative technology that sits below grade – that will take unwanted water into a discharge pipe and out of your home. A fantastic feature our SuperSump® offers is an alarm system that will notify owners when the water level rises above the basin. Collectively, our three superior technologies work together to make sure your basement stays clean and dry.
