Basement Systems Vancouver Before & After Photos

To stop water from coming through a foundation crack, we injected it with a high-pressure polyurethane resin. This creates a flexible seal that moves with the foundation and keeps water out. Then, we reinforced the area with a strong carbon fiber weave and epoxy to add long-lasting structural support. 

In this project, we started by sealing up some foundation cracks to prevent water from getting into the home. After making sure the area was clean and smooth, we tested it from the outside with water to confirm everything was sealed properly. We also cleaned the space thoroughly, removing debris and vacuuming it. 

Next, we installed a new drainage system under the concrete floor. We dug a trench, placed a pipe to carry water away from the home, and then poured new concrete to close it back up, leaving the area neat and secure.

We also installed a new pump system to help remove any water that might collect under the home. It includes an alarm to alert the homeowner of high water levels.

To wrap up the job, we sealed the crawl space with a heavy-duty moisture barrier, going partway up the walls. This helps control humidity, improves air quality inside the home, and protects the overall structure.

What have we done in this house?

-The galvanized mesh was laid on the crawl space dirt floor with a coating of concrete to prevent rodents from tunneling into the crawlspace. 

-Insulation to help keep the house warmer.

-Cleanspace vapor barrier was installed to help with the musty smell and to help control a highly humid crawlspace.

-Drain Mat was installed to help protect the vapor barrier. It will also allow water to pass under the liner 

We installed a heavy-duty SmartJack to support the floor and stop it from sagging. There was a cracked wood beam, so we fixed it by attaching two new boards on each side to make it solid again. Then we added a strong laminated beam to help carry the weight and keep everything safe and stable.

This job requires the installation of a complete waterproofing system. The system includes the installation of drain tiles to manage water flow, a drain mat to protect the foundation, and a super sump system with a backup to ensure efficient water removal, even during power outages. This comprehensive system is designed to keep the basement dry and free from water damage.
