Photo Album: Homeowner Excited to Have a Waterproofing System Installed Within Their Home in SE Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Southeast Calgary, Alberta had experienced water issues within their basement. They noticed that during heavy rainfalls that their window well would flood, in addition to water entering their home. Wanting to eliminate the water issues permanently they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
In order to assess this situation we had sent out a System Design Specialist to the home. The System Design Specialist was able to provide them with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specific to address their concerns. Our Production Team was able to then come to the home to install a WellDuct® Window Well Drain designed to prevent basement flooding due to window well leakage. The low profile WellDuct® system channels excess water from the exterior window well down and behind the installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier.
The CleanSpace® vapor barrier is installed along the walls of the basement and is made of a 100% waterproof plastic. It has a 25 year warranty for wear and tear, it's durable, washable, and has anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in!
The wall vapor barrier ties into our patented WaterGuard® drainage system. The WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain System is designed with a built-in wall flange, which extends up your basement wall by 3/8", capturing any water leaking from the walls will move downward and behind this flange where it is then directed to the SuperSump® sump pump system.
A full-featured system, SuperSump® includes the best components available including a top-rated 1/3HP Zoeller® pump is designed for reliability & high-volume pumping. From there the system will discharge any water entering the sump pump basin to the exterior of the home passing through our patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation in the event that the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. This homeowner is very excited to have this new waterproofing system installed within their home.
