Basement Waterproofing Case Studies: West Guilford Cottage Problem, ON
Challenge
The owner just bought the cottage and discovered water in the basement during the spring thaw. The previous sump pump was not able to keep up with the flooding. They wanted a solution that would allow them to leave the cottage and not have to worry about flooding or the build up of mold over time.
Solution
We installed a WaterGuard along the back wall to prevent flooding from the spring thaw. We also installed a TripleSafe sump system to manage the water and any hydro static pressure. With the use of our CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier system we covered the part of the basement that had rock expose, leaving the cottage with guaranteed protection and leaving the owner satisfied.
