Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Full Perimeter Drainage System for Basement Renovation in Brampton, ON

A customer who was in the process of finishing his basement ran into a hiccup that could not be overlooked for completing his renovations. Out in Brampton, Ontario, the customer made inquiries with several companies for quotes and ultimately chose Basement Systems to look after them. Ron Monk proposed a full perimeter drainage system as the most sustainable approach that would provide them with a lifetime warrantied dry basement.

Installation Specialist Don Clarke, and his experienced team started the project by installing our highly trusted WaterGuard® Drainage System. It will collect and capture water seepage that falls along the floor wall joints of your home’s foundation. Next, they used our Delta Drainage Matting on the walls that will provide the basement/cold room a vapor barrier to ensure all wall leaks are guided to the WaterGuard® below. This was used as spray foam insulation on the basement walls. Further, a unique vinyl sloped ceiling is regularly used in cold rooms. This will capture seepage from the cold room ceiling and redirect the water behind the delta drainage matting, then reach the WaterGuard®.

Another prevalent tool to ensure the control of water in your basement is through your sump pump. For this job, our team equipped the home with our credible SuperSump® which is a reliable solution for a wet basement. Additionally, our patented IceGuard® was installed that operates as a failsafe to ensure water will always discharge from the home even if the line becomes blocked or frozen.

At the beginning of the project, the customer's main concern was the timing of the project as any delays in the production of the contractor’s work would create financial penalties for the homeowner. Of course, Clarke Basement Systems delivered the protection of his home within his budget and installed the system that matched well within his timeline. After completed, he called to thank us for the work and was happy he hired our team over competitors. He also recognized our close attention to detail which has allowed him to have a protected basement without any future foundation-related issues with water!
