Photo Album: Waterproofing including insulated panels in Stevensville, On

Joanne in Stevensville, On had a leaky basement and needed a waterproofing system. After looking at the options from other contractors, she decided to hire Omni Basement Systems to ix her basement. Omni installed an internal drainage system called Waterguard along the perimeter wall. The walls were drained from moisture with a Cleanspace membrane. To kick start her renovation project, Omni installed the Basement-To-Beautiful (B2B) panels to the walls. The B2B panels are an insulated panel made of foam insulation. The foam has infused graphite to bump up the "R" value. The other benefit is that they have built in metal studs to attach the drywall. The Drywall paneling can be attached right to the panels. There are electrical chases built in as well to run any electrical cables after the drywall is attached.

Electrical chases

Here you can see the electrical chases that are built into he panels. They have two horizontal chases for wall plugs and light switches and vertical chases for bringing wires down from above. This will take all of the guess work out of location of wires.
