Spray Foam Insulation in the Basement - Amherstburg, ON
This home in Amherstburg, ON needed some insulation! We installed closed-cell spray foam insulation at R18 (about 3" thick) on the perimeter walls.
Since this basement will not be finished with drywall, it is recommended that a thermal barrier paint is applied over the foam.
The white-finish you see on the foam is the thermal barrier paint, which we are certified to install, with an airless spray unit.
Great job Tim and Jeremy!
Waterproofing and a Sump Pump Upgrade in McGregor, ON
Problem: These home owners were experiencing water penetrating into their unfinished basement. Their sump pump system was older, unreliable and contributing to an unhealthy level of humidity in the home.
Solution: Our team waterproofed the problematic walls, installed the ThermalDry® Wall system (which protects the basement from moisture and water as it passes through foundation walls – it serves as both a vapor barrier and as a way to redirect leaking water into the new drainage system). We completed the basement with the reliable and industry leading TripleSafe™ sump pump system.
This before and after is a great example of how all of our products work together for a dry basement. With regular maintenance, these home owners will never have basement water problems again!

Waterproofing a Basement Cold Storage Area in Essex County, ON
Problem: Although these home owners only used this part of their basement as cold storage, they were frustrated by the continual leaky walls and the resulting musty smell and damp feel. During the hot and humid summer months, their entire home smelled bad and felt damp.
Solution: Our team:
- Waterproofed the two leaky walls
- Installed a perimeter floor drain to direct any penetrating water into the sump pump
- Installed the ThermalDry® Wall system which serves as both a vapor barrier and a way to redirect water leaking into the new drainage system
Now, not only is their basement dry, their home is healthier as well!

Dry Basement and No More Musty Smells in London, ON
Problem: There was plenty of evidence in this basement of water penetration. Aside from the appearance of mould and stains, the entire home smelled damp and musty. The high humidity caused some wood furniture to grow mould – a sure sign that it’s well past the time to fix the wet basement problem!
Solution: Our team waterproofed the leaky walls and improved the overall drainage in the basement. No more water entering. No more musty, damp smells and no more toxic mould!
From Damp and Funky to Clean and Dry in Windsor, Ontario
Problem:
It was immediately evident when our inspector entered this home that there was a serious water and humidity problem. The basement leaked for decades and the excessive water in the space increased the humidity level in the entire home, making it smell terrible. Even the items stored in the basement had a funky smell.
The bad odor is not just a smell… it’s actually mould and mildew allergens that the entire family was breathing in, even though they all avoided the basement!
Solution:
We installed an interior waterproofing system which consists of an in-floor drain, which moves any leaking water into the sump pump. A radiant wall barrier provides an extra layer of protection against water intrusion and helps to keep the space comfortable as it reflects heat back into the basement.
Our waterproofing system helps to regulate the excessive humidity caused by water leaks and thereby reduces funky smells and allergens in homes.
