Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: Penetanguishene Nasty Old Basement
Challenge
The basement was an 90 year old foundation that was leaking from all four walls. The relitive humidity was around 80% percent. The challange was to eliminate the ground water seepage and reduce the relitive humidity down to a managable 55%. The home was located at the bottom of a hill and was under substantial pressure during spring thaw and had to be protect from power outages as well.
Solution
Because we had water coming in from all four walls the only solution was a full perimeter interior WaterGuard Solution. We also installed our SuperSump with the UltraSump Battery back up to control the water collected and also deal with any hydrostatic pressure that may develope in the future. We also covered the walls with CleanSpace to prevent any moisture from wicking into the basement. And last we install the SaniDry Basement Air System to control the realitive humidity and to guarantee that the humidity stays below 55%
The results was a dry amd healthy basement.
