Historic Home Basement Fix in London, ON
Problem: This historic home with a brick foundation in London had water entering the basement for decades. The basement was always very humid, damp and musty; the perfect environment for mould and mildew growth.
Solution: We installed a perimeter drain along the leaking walls which will move water into the home’s existing drainage system. To help keep the basement area comfortable and dry, our team installed ThermalDry® Basement Radiant Wall Barrier.

Egress Window in London, ON
Problem: A bedroom was put into the basement, meaning there has to be a way to escape during a fire. We updated these egress window.
Solution: We installed a larger, nicer and safer egress window and window well. This allows a person to escape during an emergency and brings in much more daylight into the basement space.

Basement Wall Restoration London, ON
Problem: This drywall had some water damage. Drywall is made of organic material, which means it can rot and grow mould when exposed to moisture and water- which can be likely within a basement environment! The studs that hold the drywall up are made of wood, which can also rot. When this happens, a musty odour is noticed.
Solution: Our Everlast Wall Restoration System is completely inorganic! We also use metal studs. The chair rail and baseboard are made of PVC. The wall panels themselves are made of a concrete board with a textured vinyl finish that never needs to be painted!

Basement Spray Foam and DC315 - London, ON
This unfinished and uninsulated basement in London needed some spray foam! We also covered the spray foam with DC315 (thermal barrier paint)- but why? The thermal barrier is required for occupied spaces or service spaces (attics and crawlspaces) that house any appliances i.e. furnace, HRV, HWT. The exemption exists only in service spaces that are strictly only running ductwork, piping or wiring. If the area is served by stairs or has access and is used for storage, these areas are considered livable and therefore require the exposed spray foam to be covered with a product like DC315, or with drywall.
This is why spaces with drywall over the spray foam insulation do not require DC315 paint.
Basement Repairs in London, ON
Challenge: These London homeowners thought they could seal the issue on their own until they recently noticed they were not properly filled and have been letting moisture in behind the drywall.
Solution: We installed our interior waterproofing system with our in-floor drain, moving any seeping water in the sump pump. We provided these homeowners with a peace of mind by installing our TripleSafe sump pump systems, with three levels of protection, these homeowners are ready for the heaviest rainfall. Finally, our team installed our full height, ThermalDry wall barrier to help reflect heat back into their dry space.
