Photo Album: Crawlspace repair in NIagara-On-The-Lake, ON

Michael has a century historic home in Niagara-On-The-Lake, On. This (NOTL) home has a low basement portion and a crawlspace portion. Omni Basement Systems was hired to repair both sections of the home. The basement section received an interior waterproofing system and a new SuperSump sump pump system and the Crawlspace area received a vapor barrier called Cleanspace for encapsulation. The Crawlspace also received a SmartSump sump pump. Now both areas are dry and the air is healthier.

Dirt Floor crawlspace

The dirt floor of a crawlspace can seem like it is dry but don't fool yourself, it is very damp and the damage caused by the dampness is irreversible not to mention the health issues it can cause

Drainage Matting

First drainage matting is installed over the dirt to keep an moisture moving toward to the sump and to prevent holes in the vapor barrier if crawled on

Vapor barrier

Our patented Cleanspace is put over the drainage matting and sealed against the walls. it is 20mil thick liner, made up of 7 layers

Sealed Crawlspace

The Cleanspace is sealed against the wall and seams are sealed as well

SmartDrain with alarm

This Smartdrain is designed to prevent and leaks from plumbing or other forms of moisture sitting on top of the barrier. It features a oneway floor drain nd a water watch alarm to let you know if there is a problem in your crawlspace.

New Sump pump system

A SuperSump sump pump system is added to the basement portion of the house. This features a Zoeller cast iron, submersible pump, an airtight floor drain and a high water watch alarm.

Interior drain system.

An internal drain system called WaterGuard is installed under the floor and a wall membrane is fastened to the walls to direct moisture down and to the sump pump.
