Descend into the basement and immediately sense the thoughtful planning and investment aimed at ensuring both comfort and security. In March 2022, a new sump pump was installed at a cost of $2,500, bolstering protection against potential water damage. Complementing this upgrade are insulated, vapour-barriered walls added for $550, significantly increasing energy efficiency and helping maintain a consistently pleasant temperature. These investments reflect a long-term focus on the home’s structural health, ensuring the lower level remains functional and welcoming year-round.
Beyond the sump pump and insulation work, additional upgrades enhance daily life and peace of mind. A water softener system, installed in October 2021, improves overall water quality, making showers gentler on skin and appliances less prone to mineral buildup. Meanwhile, the newly waterproofed foundation around the cold cellar prevents dampness and odours, contributing to a fresher environment. Together, these improvements create a space that can be adapted into a family rec room, home theatre, or private gym, all while offering the comfort and safety you deserve.
