Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Finished Basement Needs Better Functional Storage Space with Cold Room in Pickering, ON
Challenge
Roger, from Pickering, ON, had just recently renovated his basement. With that said, he wanted the space to be “lived in” and not just an area to store items. So, he called Clarke Basement Systems to inquire about transforming his cold room into a functional storage room and not be an eyesore. System Design Specialist Chris Luke introduced our complete cold room solution to Roger, that not only brightens the space but will give him assurance that the items will be protected from moisture damage.
Solution
When installation began, Foreman Dustin Biggs jackhammered a small section on the perimeter to place our FlowGuard® for proper drainage to prevent future water seepage. Next, he installed an in-house Styrofoam to give the cold room a moisture barrier and insulate the space better. Then, our BrightWall® vinyl siding was placed on top of the Styrofoam. This gave the room a brand-new clean, and bright feel. When Dustin and his crew finished, Roger absolutely loved the new look of his cold room. He now had a dry space to safely store his items.
