Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Solutions in SW Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Calgary, Alberta encountered issues with water leaking in through the foundation walls in a portion of their basement during heavy rainfall, as well as the cold joint where the wall and floor meet. 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 install a 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. It extends up the basement wall by 3/8", capturing any water leaking from the walls, moving it 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 and is designed for reliability & high-volume pumping.
