Foundation Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing and Wall Stabilization in Innisfail, AB
This homeowners in Innisfail, Alberta encountered issues with their homes existing cinder-block foundation wall bowing inwards in sections, as well as noticeable dampness and seepage. Looking for answers and a permanent solution, they contacted the foundation and waterproofing experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to assess their situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote, and designed specific to address all of the homeowners concerns. Our Production Team was then able to then come to the home to install our Foundation Supportworks Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System. Heavy-duty, galvanized earth anchors are embedded in stable, undisturbed soil outside your foundation wall. Each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. To address the dampness and water issues the Production also installed our 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 CactusBoard basement footing foundation wall drain system. Forming a space between the edge of the basement floor and the basement wall, and across the footing, allowing water from the perimeter and the walls to drain into the stone aggregate under the floor slab into 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.
