Basement Waterproofing in Ottawa, ON
Challenge
A homeowner in Ottawa, contacted our team after experiencing persistent water and moisture issues in their cold room. The area was allowing water seepage and cold air infiltration, making the space damp, uncomfortable, and at risk for long term damage.
Upon inspection, our team determined that groundwater was entering through the foundation walls, and the cold room lacked proper drainage and insulation. A comprehensive solution was needed to manage water, control moisture, and improve energy efficiency in the space.
Solution
Our crew installed a full waterproofing and insulation system tailored to the home's needs, including
- waterguard interior drainage system
- waterguard port for system access and maintenance
- super sump pump system
- cleanspace wall system
- Foamax insulation
- ice guard for winter discharge protection
- rainchute EX todirect water away from the foundation.
These systems work together to capture and redirect water safely out of the home while also improving insulation and preventing moisture penetration in the cold room.
The cold room is now dry, insualted and protected from future water intrusion. Moisture is effectively controlled, cold transfer is reduced, and the space is no longer vulnerable to water damage. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing their cold room is properly waterproofed and energy efficient.
