Job Stories From Amherst, NS
Interior Drainage System in Amherst, NS

These homeowners knew something was wrong when water began flowing into their basement, even though they had a sump pump installed. The water was entering through the wall-floor joint around the entire perimeter of their basement. The water over time was becoming worse and worse, creating anxiety and stress every rainfall. 

Thankfully we were able to provide a solution that left their home dry, safe and moisture free. 

With the pairing of a full perimeter WaterGuard system and a TripleSafe sump pump, the water issues were dissipated.

Basement is in of help, it's leaking water from the walls and they're cracked. The floor looks to be in decent shape but, I'll let one of your team make that determination. One wall looks to be in really poor shape. Also hopefully if possible to upgrade my sump as well. Thank you for your time cheers

I have a very old home that I would like to remodel. I want to sure up my basement before I begin to fix up and finish the living areas. It may be the case that I need to redo the structural supports to do this. The foundation is poured concrete with a mud floor. The floor joists are supported by a centre beam in the widest portion. I would like to get some options for structural stabilty.

We live in an old house with an old dirt basement. This year, since summer, there has been smell from the basement rising up through vents and register making it impossible to smell fresh clean air... I suspect water seeps in during rain and high humidity is causing the smell. Running a dehumidifier and it helped a little but it is still neverending. I would like to know if it is possible to waterproof the basement or any other improvements that can help.

Water gets into basement through pre-made holes in the basement and flows into a moat that drains into a pipe, but the moat has no decline so I have to move the water myself.
