Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: CBS Helps Homeowner Transform Unfinished Basement into Basement Apartment
Challenge
System Design Specialist Ron Monk of Clarke Basement Systems was sent to inspect a customer's basement to prepare it for renovation. Alexis hoped to transform the basement into an apartment. Although there was no evidence of water seepage, she wanted to be sure she was taking the right precautions before running into issues down the line. To ensure this, Ron used his years of expertise to create a well-suited preventative approach for Alexis' new basement apartment.
Solution
The installation began with Foreman Jose Martinez and Trevor Bowman jackhammering the basement perimeter to place our patented sub-floor drainage system known as our WaterGuard®. Next, they placed our ThermalDry® wall system to help insulate and create a moisture barrier for the new living space. Lastly, the crew installed a SuperSump® system and IceGuard® on the exterior discharge line. Alexis was so pleased when they finished that she left us a 5-Star Google Review! She could now move forward with renovations knowing her investment was protected from water damage in the future.
