Basement Waterpoofing- Miramichi, NB
Challenge
In Miramichi, NB, a homeowner reached out to us with a troubling issue—water was leaking into their basement furnace room. Initially, they managed the seepage with a sponge mop, but they knew they needed a more sustainable solution. Upon receiving their call, our Customer Care Specialist worked promptly to arrange a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist then visited the residence, carefully diagnosing the issue with a trained eye. We found that the moisture intrusion stemmed from a small wall crack. Such problems often hint at deeper issues that mere patchings fail to solve.
Solution
We proposed a comprehensive waterproofing system to effectively solve the problem. Our production team began the renovation by installing the FlexiSpan® wall crack repair system. This involved applying a flexible sealant along the entire crack before embedding a strip of porous foam and an impermeable membrane. This system is reliable against hydrostatic pressure and any movement in the wall, safeguarding against future leaks. To add another layer of protection, we integrated the WaterGuard® sub floor perimeter drainage system along the wall's edge. Paired with the WaterGuard®, the SuperSump system was key to our resolution phase. This dependable unit features a robust pump adept at channeling any accumulating water efficiently away from essential areas. Finally, equipped with the IceGuard® lateral discharge prevention system, the home's sump pump stayed effective regardless of harsh weather conditions, dodging any clogging incentive that ice or snow might pose. With the renovations grounded in proven products known for longevity and reliability, this Miramichi basement was transformed into a secure, dry haven, banishing moisture worries from the homeowners' mind. Their initial concern, met with rigorous expertise, resulted in a refined living space safe from future water concerns.
