Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Damaged Storage Items and Moldy Stench Coming from Basement in Zephyr, Ontario
Challenge
Corrine from Zephyr, Ontario, was grabbing storage items from her basement when she noticed a mouldy, musty smell. Having previous issues with moisture in the past, she knew that musty scents often mean there is a water issue. She later noticed that her items that had been stored away were carrying the stench and was afraid they could be permanently damaged from the moisture in the air. With that said, Corrine acted on her problem and called the right people, Clarke Basement Systems!
Solution
Installation Foreman Martinez and his team took on this project first by installing our WaterGuard® subfloor drainage system. This system manages unwanted water and redirects it to your sump system. Next, our CleanSpace® wall membrane was placed to funnel any further moisture or groundwater to the WaterGuard® System below the floor. Finally, the SuperSump® pump was placed in Corrine’s basement to notify her in case of any future leaks or floods.
Corrine was pleased with the work done to her basement by Jose and his professional crew. She now has peace of mind knowing she doesn’t need to fear her storage items could be damaged by water, and there will be no more growth of mould or a lingering smell.
