This home had water seepage both through the walls and floor/wall joint. We installed CleanSpace wall wrap that tucked into the WaterGuard piping system which took all water to the Triple Sump pump. No more water on the floor! Dry Basement! Yahooo!!
In this 2020 repair, an impressive lake cabin had a mucky muck muck crawlspace hiding below it. The above bedrooms air quality was horrendous and the homeowners just wanted it fixed right. Once all the garbage was removed and the grading and leveling done; Anita from Basement Systems Saskatchewan installed a Triple Safe Sump system, the CleanSpace Crawlspace encapsulation, closed all the vents to the outside and put in the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to clean, dry and move the air. WOW! What a difference to this homes air quality!
This 1960s house with concrete block walls had been problematic for 40 plus years. How do we know that?... by the styles of clothing that had been used by the previous homeowner Granny to stuff the blocks against water and cold air penetration. The next homeowner had jackhammered little groove trenches all over the floor leading to the floor drain. They had even tried an Exterior Hydrovac Culvert with a pump in it to pump "ground water table" but that just made it easier for the rain to get to the basement level alongside the dig created in the soil. The basement was STILL wet most of the year.
Basement Systems Saskatchewan installed their WaterGuard piping system with CleanSpace wall wrap to catch any wall cracks, form tie and cold joint leaks directly into the system and take all the water collected to the Triple Safe sump pump (three pumps including a battery backup pump in case of a power outage). When Anita was diagnosing this home's problems- she warned the homeowner that the old cast iron plumbing was likely rotted after 50 yrs and would probably need replacing. True to her suspicions, the sewer p-trap was rotted and leaking into the soil beneath the floor... pheewww! A licenced plumber was brought in to replace the 6' of sewer pipe and the waterproofing repair was completed. It's now dry as a bone inside and outside the two IceGuards allow the sump to drain all year round without freezing up. Jobs done Bob!!
(with the exception of the electrical outlets to be done by a licenced electrician yet, in after picture).
This beautiful modern home had a scary place that everyone avoided because of the bugs, critters and odors. The cable guys to the heating and plumbers found excuses not to come when they realized it was a crawlspace they had to work in. See BEFORE picture.
Basement Systems Saskatchewan cleaned it up, attached the wires, insulated the walls and rim joist, applied CleanSpace Crawlspace wrap to encapsulate all the soil and stop the odors. See AFTER picture.
Now, no problem getting contractors to come service the house. Homeowners have beautiful usable storage space that is warm, dry and critter free! Gotta love it!
These Homeowners complained of smells, doors not closing properly and dampness on their carpets upstairs. Go in to the crawlspace and it's a good thing that alligators are not in this country, because this was a swamp!
Add a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a Ultra Sump pump system, and the CleanSpace encapsulation system, and voila... you have a new swanky white clean dry space.
PS: the doors upstairs are closing properly now, the carpets feel dry and the air quality is noticeably different within TWO days of putting in the dehumidifier. The Homeowners are so amazed they think it's their imagination...Nope!
