Photo Album: Foundation Waterproofing in New York Mills, MN

Basements can flood from pretty much anywhere, such as from walls, windows, pipes, etc. The most common causes of basement leaks are due to the pressure created by water found in the soil surrounding your foundation. In some situations, water leaks through the foundation cracks, causing both the foundation and basement to have problems.  A homeowner in New York Mills, MN was having similar issues in their home; water was leaking through the cracks in their walls. They saw American Waterworks on social media, so they requested a FREE estimate with our team. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully examined and diagnosed their problems, and determined a solution that would work for them and their needs. The homeowner was confident in our solution of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, CarbonArmor, and Foamax Wall Panels, so they followed through with the project. Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the project by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which serves as an underground drain, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CarbonArmor Reinforcement System along the foundation wall to repair and fix the cracks. This reinforcement system is 10 times stronger than steel and is installed with epoxy which helps with pressure and strength. Then, our crew installed our Foamax Wall Panels over the CarbonArmor. Our Foamax is special insulation that prevents water from seeping through, saves money on energy costs, and gives the basement a bright appearance. To complete the project, Ryan and his team covered the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was cleaner than when they found it.  Are you experiencing water seepage or cracked foundation walls?
