Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Basement Waterproofing in NW Calgary, AB
A homeowner in Strathmore, Alberta encountered issues with water leaking in through the foundation of his basement but was not 100% sure where the water was getting in. Wanting to eliminate the issues permanently in the basement and regain the usable space, they contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote to address all of the homeowners concerns. Our Production Team went to the home to install our CleanSpace® vapor barrier along the walls which is a 100% waterproof plastic. With 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 the 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 which is designed for reliability & high-volume pumping. From there the system will discharge any water entering the sump pump to the exterior of the home passing through our patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of the home and ejects water away from the foundation in the event that the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. Lastly the discharge line has been buried below-grade out of sight ending off with a Bubbler Pot that is installed flush with the grass allowing the homeowner to maintain their lawn without hindrance.
