Before After
Fixing Moldy Cottage Basement in Kilworthy, ON Fixing Moldy Cottage Basement in Kilworthy, ON

Every floor of your home is in its best condition when putting it on the market. Unfortunately, this homeowner had a moist, mouldy, and smelly basement that deterred many potential buyers. In addition, the space had raised many red flags regarding its ability to hold up the home because many floor joists had begun to rot. With this home being a family generation cottage, the homeowner, Sandra, wanted a change and tried to sell it as soon as possible. Sandra reached out to the professionals at Clarke Basement Systems to quote a solution to permanently fix the dampness and mould so the cottage can get more buyer interest. Our System Design Specialist, Logan Watson, came to the home and started his investigation. He quoted five products to keep all moisture out and properly discharge water. 

  • The first two products were sump pumps, one being a SuperSump and the next being an UltraSump. The space was too big to have only one, so both needed to be on opposite ends. The SuperSump operates the same as a regular sump, but when the water reaches an alarming height, the built-in alarm system chimes to inform the homeowner that there is a surplus of water. As for the UltraSump, this pump operates regularly but has a battery back, so it runs when the power goes out. 
  • Next product would be drainage matting. This will allow all the water in the basement to reach the designated sump pump. 
  • Following, we will install our CleanSpace® wall membrane that will keep all outside water from entering the basement and connect to the matting discussed earlier. 
  • Lastly, our team will install our IceGuard® Anti-freezing discharge line attachment. This product prevents any freezing at the line and allows water to move freely.

 

Our experienced installer Lucio Flores working alongside Stefano Santobuono started the work. Each product was installed flawlessly, leaving Sandra flabbergasted. She raved to her family about the great work we've done and can have decided to stay put and not sell the cottage. But, instead, sprucing up the home made her love it again.

Fast & Affordable Concrete Repair

The sunken and cracked concrete around your Kilworthy home is both an eyesore and a safety hazard. It is also likely to get worse with time, but we can fix it for you!

Our experts use PolyLevel, a superior polyurethane foam to provide reliable concrete lifting & leveling solutions. Small holes are drilled in the concrete and the expansion of the foam lifts & levels the concrete. The majority of contractors you will call use mudjacking instead of foam. Mudjacking is heavier, requires larger holes in the concrete and does not last as long as PolyLevel.

If your home has cracked concrete steps, pool decks, patios, or other slabs, then NexusPro is the right solution. NexusPro repairs concrete cracks and joints and is ultra-durable, so it will withstand UV rays, extreme weather, and more.

After utilizing our expert concrete repair solutions, consider the powerful concrete sealant, SealantPro. SealantPro further protects your concrete by bonding with it to guard against oil, gasoline, liquids, and other debris. In just one coat, SealantPro extends the life of your concrete by 3 to 5 times overall. 

Call us today to learn more about our proven concrete leveling, cracked concrete repair, and concrete sealing techniques. We also offer professional installation of LintelLift to repair and support sagging, cracked garage lintels.

Job Stories From Kilworthy, ON
SaniDry® and CleanSpace® Control Moisture Levels for Crawl Space in Kilworthy, ON

Many cottages up north are built up on Bedrock that has been blasted. Due to its uneven texture, Bedrock is a significant attraction for moisture and water buildup. A standard yet effective service we provide is installations for crawl space encapsulations to protect your cottage up north from moisture and water damage. An example of this is with a customer in Gravenhurst, ON. We encapsulated the area with our CleanSpace® system. We then installed our Sedona SaniDry® dehumidifier to ensure that Heather's crawl space and the rest of her home would not be further affected by moisture or, even worse, mould growth.

I would be interested in getting an estimate on repairs to my basement. It is a low ceiling, dirt floor. I would like to have the floor poured, and also to have the rest of the foundation inspected. There is a fireplace on one side of the house that has some cracks, and also there is an area that may have been an outside door at one point. If it was, I question the integrity of the foundation in that are
