Mold in a Basement in York, Ontario

Wednesday, August 14th, 2024 by Elyse Sauriol

Challenge

When the new owners of a charming 1950s bungalow in York, ON, discovered leaks and mold in their basement, they quickly realized the urgency of addressing the issues. Concerned about protecting their investment and preserving the cozy appeal of their home, they knew they needed a reliable and professional solution. The basement's moisture problems had likely been developing over years, leading to unchecked leaks and persistent mold, threatening the integrity and comfort of their living space.

Solution

Recognizing the severity of the situation, the homeowners reached out to Basement Systems Toronto. Our dedicated Customer Care team swiftly scheduled a comprehensive inspection to assess the problem. A System Design Specialist from our experienced Sales Team was dispatched to their home, where they conducted a detailed evaluation. The solution was clear: a tailored approach to address their unique challenges. We recommended the WaterGuard drainage system to capture wall and floor seepage, the SuperSump sump pump for efficient water removal, and the innovative IceGuard discharge line system to protect against freezing and clogging during York's cold winters.

Guided by an expert foreman, our production team executed the project with minimal disruption, respecting the homeowners' trust in maintaining their residence's integrity. After installing WaterGuard along the basement's periphery, we set up the SuperSump pump to ensure long-term protection against water intrusion. The IceGuard system was added outside, providing additional security against harsh weather. Upon completion, the basement was not only restored to its original comfort, but the homeowners were also fully briefed on how each component would contribute to a safer, drier, and healthier living space for years to come.
