Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Foremost, Alberta contacted us concerned with a leaking crack located in the basement wall. Cracks in foundation walls are common in homes throughout Alberta. Usually a side effect of the natural curing process of concrete, however when they leak they can cause a lot of mess and headache. In search of the best solution to address their concern, and protect their home investment, these homeowners contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.

A System Design Specialist was able assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specific to address all of this homeowners concerns. The foundation crack was then repaired by our Service Team utilizing a Polyurethane Resin injection, followed by reinforcing the crack with CarbonArmor®, a series of strips across the crack significantly improving the overall stability of the wall.

This customer knew he had a problem when wall cracks began forming all around his foundation walls. He contacted us because he wanted them repaired. We installed CarbonArmor® wall crack reinforcement strips on all of the wall cracks to both seal them and provide support to them. CarbonArmor® is made from fiber-reinforced polymer that is 10-times stronger than steel! This Milk River, AB homeowner now has peace of mind!

This customer contacted us because he noticed a big wet spot in the corner of his finished basement. The carpet was wet, and so was the drywall. To fix this problem and ensure that the basement does not get ruined anymore, we installed a SuperSump® sump pump, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a WaterGuard® below-floor drain. This Brooks, AB homeowner will now have peace of mind forever! 

This homeowner in Lethbridge, Alberta encountered issues with water leaking in through the foundation walls around the perimeter of their basement during heavy rainfall. Their current sump system wasn't efficient enough to keep up with the excess water. Wanting to eliminate the water issues in the basement and get a permanent solution for their long-time family home, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.

A System Design Specialist was able to visit the home to assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specifically to address all of the homeowners concerns. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to remove the existing sump system and install our TripleSafe™ sump pump system. Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe™ provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe™ has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. In case of a power outage, our UltraSump® battery backup sump pump, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery! In addition to the new sump system this homeowner had asked us to install an entire waterproofing system. From there our Production Team had installed the ThermalDry® Radiant Wall System which protects the basement from moisture and water that passes through concrete foundation walls. This product serves as both a vapor barrier and also as a way to redirect water leaking through the basement walls into the patented WaterGuard® drainage system below. 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 aforementioned TripleSafe™.

These homeowners contacted us because their basement has been a problem for them since they moved in. They have efflorescence all over the basement walls. Recently, these cracks started leaking during the snow melt and heavy rain. They wanted to make their basement more liveable. A place where their kids could safely go to play music or play with their lego. Understandably the state of their basement leads to it becoming an unusable space due to the dangers down there. To help these homeowners feel good about their basement, we installed a permanent wood foundation (PWF) to replace their old foundation, so they could just start fresh! These homeowners can now safely finish their basement and turn it into an amazing and safe playroom for their kids.
