The Foundation Guys Inc. Before & After Photos

This homeowner was dealing with a damp, musty basement with water seepage along with the perimeter and pooling near the entry point. The air was humid, and the space wasn't usable or healthy. Mold risk, unpleasant smells, and moisture damage were constant concerns.

We transformed this basement with a comprehensive waterproofing system, giving the homeowner a dry, healthy, and protected space.

We installed the following:

- Water Guard - captures and directs water to the sump pump, keeping the perimeter dry.

- Trench drain and trench lock - stops surface water at problem entry points and keeps radon out while allowing drainage.

- Triple safe sump pump - Provides triple protection with primary, secondary, and battery backup pumps.

- Ice guard and Rain Chute EZ - Ensure reliable drainage even in freezing weather.

- Clean Space wall system - seals and brightens the basement while blocking moisture and vapor.

- Sani Dry Sedona dehumidifier - maintains dry, healthy air by controlling humidity levels and filtering the air.

The results? A clean, dry, and usable basement that's protected year round and ready for storage, living space and peace of mind!

A homeowner in Ottawa had concerns about water intrusion, damp walls, long term damage, and potential mold growth. Water was seeping in and there was no proper drainage solution. We installed a full waterproofing system that changed everything. With our super sump pump, water guard drainage system, and water guard port, for maintenance access, water no longer stands a chance. The ice guard and rain chute EZ ensures water is discharged safely and year around. To seal the space and brighten the environment, we also installed a clean space wall system giving the basement a fresh, dry, and protected finish.

Peace of mind! - Check!

Our team recently completed a comprehensive basement waterproofing project designed to permanently protect the space from water intrusion, improve air quality, and add long-term value to the home.

To start we installed the water guard drainage system along the interior perimeter, aired with a water guard port for easy maintenance access. To manage surface water entry at the threshold, we also added a trench drain, capped with trench lock to safely route any collected water into the system without allowing air exchange.

For powerful, reliable water removal we installed a triple safe sump pump system, enhanced with a custom 43" liner and additional 1.5" interior discharge a line to handle higher volumes. An Ice Guard system was added outside to prevent winter backups in freezing temperatures.

To protect the basement walls from moisture and create a clean, bright appearance, we installed the clean space system. To control humidity and prevent mold growth, we completed the system with a Sani dry Sedona high performance dehumidifier. 

The result, a permanently dry, healthier basement that's protected from water, moisture, and musty odors with systems in place built to last.

We had a customer in Beachburg, Ontario who needed their crawlspace encapsulated. Our specialist suggested we use CleanSpace, SilverGlo Panels, ultraSump, Smart Pump alongside with an ice guard.
