Testimonials for Omni Basement Systems

Tom and Norma were experiencing a common cause of water infiltration in basements; hydrostatic pressure. This occurs when outside soil pushes in on water resting or pooling along the outside of a homes foundation. The pressure becomes so great that it forces water through the porous concrete blocks or the cement walls of your foundation and into your basement. The WaterGuard system of drains that Omni Basement uses exclusively, have a 3/8" lip that extends upwards to collect any moisture that may leak in and run down the foundation wall. That water is then channeled through the drains into a sump pump that sends the water out of your basement. Each Basement Systems dealer has a number of options of drain systems in their quiver of installations. Each one a bit different than the other, to work the best in each different scenario. That attention to detail and not subscribing to the "one size fits all" mentality that many contractors adhere to, sets Basement Systems companies like Omni Basements apart from and above the rest.

Paul and Paula had a persistent water problem in their basement. One of their options was to either place an exterior drainage system around their foundation or to waterproof the exterior foundation walls with a water-resistant coating; both common remedies offered by other contractors. In order to perform either of those installations, the entire outside area around their house would have had to be excavated, removing all trees, sidewalks, driveways, shrubbery, porches and patios. A better way to go is the direction they ended up going in; an interior perimeter system with Omni Basement. Omni Basement installs interior perimeter drains because they are more effective in collecting and moving water and they don't require any disruption to your yard in order to be installed. By using Omni Basement you are ensuring that your basement or crawl space will be inspected by professional and fixed by professional with the utmost concern for the outcome and your happiness with the job.

Having a sump pump is a good idea if you are prone to a leaky basement. But what happens if that pump dies out or there is a power outage during a torrential downpour (as often happens). What happens to all that water then? Mike experienced that dilemma first hand and the damage and clean-up was enough for him to call Omni Basement Systems for some help. Omni Basement installs the highest quality, cast-iron sump pumps on the market. Along with the pumping systems we offer back-up pump systems and battery powered pumps that operate without the need for electrical power. Mike solved his basement woes with a WaterGuard Drainage System combined with our series of sump pumps designed to get the water out of your basement, even if the power goes out.

If you have questions about your basement or crawl space problem or want to schedule an appointment for your FREE waterproofing quote and basement estimate, call Omni Basement Systems today.

The loosened-up, unpacked backfill soil that is used to fill in the space around a houses’ foundation after it is constructed will naturally settle or wash away with each successive rain. That leaves gaps around the foundation where water can pool up and seep into your home. That is exactly what Lyndsey was experiencing.   That reservoir of water created a constant source of trouble until Omni Basement Systems was contacted and a waterproofing system was installed. No more flooding has happened since the installation and the mold problem that had developed has been solved.   There are many factors that can lead to a flooded basement. Cracks in the walls or in the slab flooring, leaky joints where the floor and wall meet, improper wall penetrations for pipes and electricals, and disturbances on the exterior of the foundation can all lead up to a wet basement or crawl space. An interior drain system or crawl space encapsulation system, both with a sump pump and dehumidifier, can eliminate the worries when confronted with the numerous ways water can infiltrate your basement.

Laurie and Brian had a waterproofing system already in place in there basement. It was a simple sump pump system that was supposed to keep their sub-floor space dry. But whenever the basement flooded, it stayed flooded with virtually no drainage happening at all. Sometimes a sump pump alone is just not enough. If the pump cannot handle the load or if the incoming water is greater than the amount the pump is dispersing, then you will have problem. Omni Basement Systems can install a full waterproofing system in your basement. It may be a perimeter drain with a sump pump system, back-up pump, and basement dehumidifier. This would eliminate the liquid moisture as well as the moisture that exists in the air as water vapour. And it could all be installed, under normal circumstances, in a day or two. Omni Basement proudly serves Ontario and the greater Hamilton area. Our long line of basement products has been tested and tried to be the best on the market. By calling or e-mailing us, you can set up an appointment with one of our professional basement technicians for your FREE basement waterproofing estimate.

Many times we think that basements are supposed to be damp, musty and leaky. But that is not true. Ken put up with his wet basement for years, thinking that was how it was. Basement = damp. Using an entire floor of his home as a living space and having that area compromised by water and its adverse effects made Ken take action and install a waterproofing system by Omni Basement. If you already have a furnished basement and it has a leakage problem, installing a waterproofing system, complete with a sump pump and dehumidifier, will eliminate the moisture problem. Once the problem has been solved, then you can enjoy your basement to its fullest with no worry. Omni Basement Systems serves the greater Hamilton area and surrounding towns in our service area. We provide you with the highest quality products and the finest services, from the beginning phone call to the handshake after the job is complete.

Like many of us, Karli had personal items in her basement; using it for more than just a large, sub-ground storage closet. When her leaking basement started ruining her basement walls, furniture and rugs (as well as producing an awful odour), Karli called Omni Basements. Our specialists came and assessed the situation. The waterproofing system that Karli chose eliminated the water, saved her furniture and belongings, and removed the foul smell. A basement is actually, an entire floor of your house and can be used for more than storage as long as there are no moisture problems. A dry basement can offer a furnished area to relax or a family entertainment center or anything your mind can imagine. Installing a waterproofing system from Omni Basement Systems can start you on your way to making the fullest use of your basement space.

Heather had quite a few issues with her basement. There were cracks on the walls, which were beginning to bow inward, and during heavy rains the basement would always get wet. As a result, mold was a big issue in her basement. She then called Omni Basement Systems to help her with her basement. After thoroughly inspecting the place, the system design specialist recommended some extra support for the walls, which were beginning to lose structural integrity, and an internal perimeter drainage system. Heather was given an estimate, and the solution proposed made sense to her. She had no desire to disturb the landscaping outside her home or dig out her whole foundation in order to install a French drain, so the WaterGuard system, being installed internally, was the perfect solution for her problem. Before the job started, Pete Karreman, the owner of Omni Basement Systems, came to her home to verify that she was indeed being given the best solution. Heather was very pleased with the way the job was performed by Omni’s professional and courteous crew, which left the job site clean and neat when the project was completed. For that reason, she recommended Omni Basement Systems to her next door neighbor, Sheila, who also had her basement flooded three times prior to having Omni Basement Systems fix it. The two neighbors now have clean, dry, and mold free basements that they will be able to enjoy for many years because Omni Basement Systems waterproofing products and services are backed by a Transferable Lifetime Warranty! Omni Basement Systems proudly serves the Grater Hamilton and other surrounding areas in Ontario, providing free, in-home inspections and estimates.  

She knew she had to do something to solve these problems, so she called a few basement waterproofing contractors in her area. She received two estimates for an outside French drain and then an estimate from Omni for a full perimeter WaterGuard internal drainage system. While the other two estimates were aligned with Omni's price, the conventional French drain installation would require excavating her yard to dig out the foundations. That meant having to replace ¾ of a brand new driveway and an entire 26' x 12' patio, which would have to be removed for the job. When she factored in the added cost of replacing the driveway and the patio, the mess and disruption of a conventional outside French drain installation; Omni Basement Systems' solution was the one that made the most sense for her. Omni's sales person was very thorough in examining the problem and explaining the proposed solution so that Sheila knew exactly what to expect when the crew came in to perform the work. She was quite impressed with the professionalism of the crew, and how the foreman kept her informed throughout every step of the project. She was even happier to see that the work was finished before the projected date. Sheila and her husband are absolutely ecstatic with the fact that they haven't had a single drop of water in their basement since the job was finished. If you're weary of your leaky basement like Sheila, Omni Basement Systems in Greater Hamilton, can help. Visit our website or call to schedule your free, in home estimate!

Robin M. had slow leaking cinderblock walls in his basement. The water seepage had caused a full wet bar to grow mold, meaning it had to be completely removed and discarded. He then called Omni Basement Systems to install a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system on top of the foundation footing and a powerful sump pump system to handle any amount of water coming through, even during heavy rains. Robin now has a basement that is backed by a Transferable Lifetime Warranty, and with proper maintenance, will remain dry for the life of the structure. He can now reclaim his basement as a usable, dry space and even rebuild his basement bar if he so wishes!
