Damp Basement Saved in Worthington, MN

After Worthington, MN, was rocked with numerous storms in a short period, a homeowner went down to his basement and was shocked to find water entering the space through corners of his basement. He was concerned about what his findings could mean for the health of his home, so he decided to begin looking for interior waterproofing MN, and eventually found our website. After looking through our basement waterproofing before and after images, he signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, Lance S, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Lance finished his thorough inspection, he was ready to meet with the customer to deliver his recommendations. Lance began by reassuring the homeowner that he had done the right thing by taking action as soon as possible. He then said he wanted to use two of our products to address the water intrusion. First, Lance wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof plastic barrier gets installed directly onto the basement walls, and works to direct water entering through holes or cracks in the basement wall down and into a perimeter drain, which in this case, Lance had recommended to be our WaterGuard. The WaterGuard® System is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. By installing the drain at this point, it's kept out of the "mud zone", the point where clogged drains are common. The unique shape and large drain openings of WaterGuard® also aid in preventing clogs in the system. This drain works to collect the water draining down the wall from the CleanSpae, as well as the water entering through cracks or holes in the floor and gives it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site, such as a sump pump or discharge line. The homeowner liked the sound of the two products working together and decided to schedule the project for several weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, led his team through the installation. When they were finished, they had successfully installed 143 ft of WaterGuard and another 137ft of CleanSpace. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing his water intrusion issues have been handled by professionals!
