Mike from Alden, IL, had 3 waterproofing contractors come out to his home to assess his wet basement problem. Two of the waterproofing contractors didn't seem knowledgeable or personable. Mike thought that they seemed to have been in a rush and also didn't have a plan for where the sump pump should be installed. Mike said,

Woods Basement Systems: Much More than a Basement Waterproofing Company
Ron Hazleton & Larry Janesky Talk About Finishing a Basement
Ron Hazleton, Larry Janesky Talk About Finishing a Basement
This video will show you how different basement finishing materials react in the event of a basement flood, leak, a water accident, or just by being exposed to typical basement humidity. Larry Janesky, owner and president of Total Basement Finishing and Dr. Energy Saver, recently conducted this experiment to compare how these different basement walls and flooring solutions behave when exposed to moisture. To do this, they created an environment that simulates a basement plumbing leakage incident, and tested four flooring assemblies and four wall assemblies.For the floors, they compared: Typical wood decking under carpet or regular laminate. A basement subfloor product sold in hardware stores consisting on a chip-board with a dimpled plastic mat on the bottom. The ThermalDry Insulated Floor Decking, developed by Total Basement Finishing, which is an inorganic magnesium oxide board insulated with rigid foam insulation. The MillCreek Basement Flooring, also available through the Total Basement Finishing network, which is a 100% waterproof, inorganic flooring option that mimics hardwood floors and can be installed straight against the slab without a subfloor. For the walls, the following assemblies were tested: Wood studs, fiberglass insulation and drywall, with a wood baseboard (the most common wall assembly in the U.S.) Metal studs, fiberglass insulation, water and mold-resistant drywall, and a pre-primed wood baseboard. Total Basement Finishing EverLast Wall panel, which is vinyl-finished cement board insulated with rigid foam, and a PVC baseboard. Total Basement Finishing Smart Wall System, which is a variation of the EverLast system, consisting of continuous rigid foam board insulation installed against the wall, with attached metal studs over the foam board, to hang a vinyl-finished cement board, and a PVC baseboard. The time-lapse video shows how these different assemblies perform in contact with water, in terms of water absorption and mold growth. Total Basement Finishing products clearly outperform all the typical assemblies because they were specifically developed for basements by the world's authority in basement environment specialization.

The Mold War Challenge: Comparing Basement Finishing Materials
ThermalDry Insulated Floor Decking is a revolutionary basement subflooring product from Basement Systems. The insulated decking is made from inorganic materials, designed to withstand damp conditions, flooding, and plumbing leaks, which are all common in basements.In this video, Larry Janesky, founder and owner of Basement Systems explains why it’s a bad idea to install finished flooring on top of a cold, damp concrete slab. When water vapor passes through the porous concrete slab from the soil, water vapor and humidity can build up underneath wood subflooring, and mold and rot can quickly become an issue. Water from a plumbing leak can also damage the plywood decking. Without a solid, waterproof base underneath, finished flooring will be ruined and will need to be replaced.ThermalDry Insulated Floor Decking is a smarter alternative to the built-up plywood subflooring that is traditionally used by contractors. The waterproof, insulated subflooring is made from inorganic materials that will never get moldy or rot. A 1-inch layer of SilverGlo foam insulation helps keep basement floors warm. A magnesium oxide board provides a durable base for your chosen finished flooring. A cross-hatch pattern of grooves on the bottom of the ThermalDry Decking panel allow moisture from a plumbing leak to eventually dry. With ThermalDry Floor Decking, your basement floor covering will be protected from any water vapor that travels through the porous concrete slab.There are a number of floor covering options to install over the ThermalDry insulated subfloor. Basement Systems recommends installing vinyl wood-grain flooring, but wall-to-wall carpeting can also be installed.Basement Systems dealers fix more than 53 thousand basements each year across North America. In addition to keeping your basement floors dry, your local Basement Systems contractor can also waterproof your basement with WaterGuard perimeter drainage, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry basement dehumidifier.Once your basement floor is dry and insulated and your basement is waterproofed, you can build the finished basement of your dreams!
