Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Trouble in the Old Sump System
Challenge
A customer in East Gwillimbury was losing sleep over a leak in their basement that was letting quite a bit of water through the foundation walls. They asked if we could send an inspector out as soon as possible to get the ball rolling on finding a solution. System Design Specialist Ben Wallis evaluated the basement and discovered where the problem was located, as well as created a solution that was well-suited.
Solution
The plan was to install a sub-floor drainage system with our patented WaterGuard®. This will guide water to the sump system we replaced with our SuperSump® System. For moisture protection, our CleanSpace® wall membrane was installed to keep the area clean and dry. Additionally, it will work collectively with the WaterGuard® and SuperSump® to bring water out to the exterior discharge line. Lastly, it will exit through the IceGuard® we installed to be sure there would never be a blocked line.
When our experienced foreman and their crew finished the job, the customers were impressed by their efficiency in getting the job done. They also expressed their gratitude for helping them sleep at night!
