Trusted Basement Waterproofing in Barrie, ON

Recently, we had the unique opportunity to assist a homeowner in Barrie, ON, struggle with a flooded crawl space—a challenge that many in the region can relate to, given our unpredictable weather patterns. The homeowner contacted us at Basement Systems Toronto, seeking not just a quick fix but a long-lasting solution to their recurring problem. After reaching out to our Customer Care team, they were promptly visited by one of our experienced System Design Specialists who carefully inspected their home. After a comprehensive assessment, the proposal was to install an IceGuard system alongside our SuperSump pump to effectively address the water issue. The IceGuard system is ingeniously designed to allow water to exit from the sump pump discharge line externally even if the pipe freezes or gets blocked for any reason—an all-too-common scenario during our chilly winters. The added installation of SmartSump would ensure the efficient evacuation of water, keeping the crawl space dry under all conditions. Our dedicated production team sprang into action, focusing on installing these products with precision and care. The implementation stage was seamless, thanks to our foreman and installers' meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every aspect of the system was set up for optimal performance. After the installation, the despondency that the homeowner once felt watching their crawl space repeatedly flood transformed into relief and satisfaction. The synergy of the IceGuard and SmartSump meant they could now enjoy a dry and healthier home environment throughout the year. Another satisfying aspect for the homeowner was witnessing the clean and thorough approach our team maintained from start to finish, affirming our promise not just to solve issues, but also to enhance their overall home living experience.

This project began when we received a call from a concerned homeowner in Barrie, Ontario with a danger of flooding due to excessive moisture and a malfunctioning French drain. Recognizing the critical importance of maintaining a dry and stable environment, our appointment center promptly arranged for an on-site inspection to assess the situation in detail. Upon arrival, our specialist identified the root cause of the issue, explaining how the failure of the drainage system was allowing water to accumulate in the basement. They recommended installing our WaterGuard internal drainage system to effectively collect and direct water away from the foundation, while the IceGuard discharge line would prevent freezing and backup during winter months. To further safeguard the area from moisture and potential mold growth, the installation of our CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier was proposed as an essential protective measure.

Our production team, well-versed in technical installations, arrived to execute the solution. The WaterGuard system was installed along the basement perimeter, designed to capture seepage from both the walls and floor and transport it to the sump pump. IceGuard fittings were then added to the discharge line to ensure that even during freezing conditions, water could flow freely, preventing blockages. Lastly, the CleanSpace Wall liner was secured to the foundation walls, creating an impermeable barrier that prevents water vapor from entering the living space and promotes better insulation.
