Greetings!

Basement Systems welcomes spring showers and new home renovations. Waterproofing is important to protect the investment you make in your home. Finishing a basement adds living space and increases value, and our new floor system makes a perfect foundation. Encapsulating a crawl space (not many people realize this can be done) increases storage space and increases value as well… it also helps prevent mold growth and eliminate damp, musty odors.


Recent Rains Flood Basements in Many Regions

The phones were ringing off the hook. Homeowners who never experienced even a drop of water in their basements before, were knee deep in ground water, seeping in all over. The flash floods throughout New England over the past few weeks caused problems in even the driest homes. Daniel Fitzgerald, Vice President - Marketing at Basement Systems Inc. says, "We were on the five, six and ten o'clock news last week, showing people what we do to fix wet basements. With more than 100 installation teams on the road across North America, the U.K. and Ireland, we're helping dry-up hundreds of basements each week, making homeowners very happy!"

When ground water floods the basement, seeping in between the floor and the walls or through a wall or floor crack, Basement Systems responds with a foolproof solution. The patented WaterGuard basement waterproofing system by Basement Systems has been installed in over 60,000 basements in seven countries. Complete with a lifetime warranty, the one-of-a-kind WaterGuard system will allow you to maintain a dry environment and utilize the space for anything you wish. The TripleSafe sump pump system is designed to quietly pump the collected water from the WaterGuard system out of your basement using three pumps, providing a complete solution. The TripleSafe effectively pumps water in a variety of scenarios, including one where if the first pump fails to keep up with the volume of water seeping in, the second, more powerful pump takes over. So, if your basement is flooding faster than only one pump can handle, the second pump works in conjunction with the first pump to remove up to 6,200 gallons of water per hour. And if a storm causes a power outage, the third, battery-operated pump will take over. The TripleSafe system, as all Basement Systems sump pumps, is also armed with the patented WaterWatch alarm that will sound if the water level rises above the point where the pumps should engage.
  
So, if you're knee deep in water, or just cleaning up the remnants of the recent storms, you don't have to live through another wet basement. For more info rmation on a state-of-the-art system designed to make your home safe, dry and more comfortable, call Basement Systems at 1-800-261-3708.

Getting Ready to Finish Your Basement?

NEW all-plastic basement floor tiles resist mold and create a comfortable floor.
If you are going to carpet your basement floor, let us tell you about the All-NEW ThermalDry Floor Matting from Basement Systems. Being all-plastic, these floor tiles do not support mold growth and create a thermal break at the floor, which stops water vapor from permeating up through the concrete floor into your carpet and living space.

Why is this important?
Stopping water vapor from entering your basement will help lower relative humidity. This in turn helps to prevent the damp, musty smell commonplace in basements. It also doubles the life span of your carpet as it keeps moisture out. Additionally, the floor matting makes a more comfortable basement floor by making it easier to heat, effectively raising the temperature of the floor by 3 to 10 degrees.
