Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing a poured concrete foundation in Grimsby, on

Giovanni & Amanda have a house in Grimsby with a poured concrete foundation. The couple called Omni basement Systems because they had a couple of wall cracks that were leaking. When the representative from Omni went out to inspect the basement, he found that they also had a high water table and there were signs of moisture on the unfinished walls. Omni Basement Systems recommended an interior drainage system along with a Sump pump that will drain most of the water below the concrete floor. Omni installed the patented drain system called WaterGuard. To make sure that the cracks are drained and protect them from further cracks, Omni Basement systems installed the Cleanspace wall membrane. The homeowners also asked to have a Backwater valve installed for further protection.

SuperSump installed

The SuperSump is installed and the floor is finished around it. It is important to note that the sump is the same height as the floor so if there are any plumbing leaks, the water will drain to the airtight floor drain.

Jack Hammer ready

It's time to get to work and the best tool is the jackhammer. This tool easily opens the floor to install the WaterGuard drain system.

Cleanspace wall membrane

The Cleanspace wall membrane looks great and it directs any moisture into our system.

Sump liner and WatergUard inlet

The sump liner is installed and an inlet from the WaterGuard is attached.

Discharge line with IceGuard

Omni installed the patented IceGuard with the discharge line. This will protect from frozen discharges.

Flangeless & Flowguard

In some cases, the floor is not thick enough for the WaterGuard to sit on the footing so we use a flangeless style and install our Flowguard to direct water over the footing
