Photo Album: Great interior waterproofing in Hamilton, On

Michael and Bella have a house in Hamilton, ON that need waterproofing only in one area of the home that was an extension of the original home. Omni Basement systems carefully inspected the home and recognized that an interior waterproofing job was best using their patented drain system called Waterguard. Waterguard comes with a lifetime transferrable warranty that drains to a sump system called the SuperSump. As an added feature, Omni installed the incredible TuffTop lid to the sump which is not only airtight but it is tuff enough to stand on. Now the room can be refinished and the sump can even have a finished floor over top, hiding the sump.
