Basement Waterproofing in Bigelow, MN

Tuesday, December 8th, 2020 by Kal Aldrich

Challenge

Basement flooding is common in old and new homes, and once the water has flooded through the foundation, it will most likely happen again. Water intrusion can damage parts of the home and create an opportunity for mold to grow.

Homeowners in Bigelow, MN had water leaking into their basement, causing moisture in the air and humidity problems. They wanted to get something figured out as soon as possible, so they went to their local home show in Worthington, MN, hoping to find a contractor that could help them. They ran into our booth and saw that we provide service for basement waterproofing. They talked to our Design Specialist running the booth and got some information on our products. They were comfortable with our presentation and brand, so they signed up for a FREE Estimate to get their basement inspected. Our Design Specialist drove to their home, inspected their basement, and drew up a solution of our SuperSump Sump Pump and our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier. The homeowners were confident in our proposal and plan, so they signed the contractor, put down a deposit, and scheduled an installation date.

Solution

Our Foreman and his crew began the installation by introducing themselves to the homeowners and ensuring they had all of their questions answered. The homeowners had all of their questions answered, so our team got to work and broke out the basement concrete floor with a jackhammer, forming a large hole. In the hole, our team installed our sump basket, followed by the SuperSump pump. Our SuperSump is made to keep basements dry for long periods of time and has a built-in alarm that alerts when the water level rises too high. Next, our crew installed the tube of the SaniDry XP Humidifier into the sump pump, which gets rid of the moisture and water that the dehumidifier collects. Our SaniDry is 10 times more powerful than traditional dehumidifiers and it never needs to be emptied. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the basement was cleaner than when they found it.
