Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Hiding a Sump Pump System in SW Calgary, AB
This homeowner in Southwest Calgary, Alberta encountered issues with water leaking in through foundation cracks around the perimeter of their basement during heavy rainfall. Wanting to eliminate the water issues in the basement and the ability to refinish their basement while hiding their newly installed waterproofing system, they 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. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to install our FlexiSpan® foundation crack repair system. The FlexiSpan® System stays bonded with wall movement, and seals the crack permanently. Unlike hydraulic cements and some epoxies, the special polyurethane polymer sealant used for FlexiSpan® will never dry out or re-crack due to the natural movement of the foundation wall over long periods of time. The FlexiSpan® System is then tied directly into our patented WaterGuard® drainage system which is installed around the perimeter of the basement. 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 new SuperSump® sump pump system. A full-featured system, the popular SuperSump® includes the best components available including CleanPump stands, an airtight basin lid, as well as the top-rated 1/3HP Zoeller® pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour. This homeowner can now rest easy knowing that their waterproofing system is in place to protect their home from flooding.
