Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jamie B. of Dakota, MN had water seeping into their basement, and they wanted to install a system that would solve their water problems. They got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to their home, looked through their basement, and examined all the water leaks. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist proposed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier and our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Jamie was impressed with the products and their warranties, so they moved forward with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the installation by jackhammering out the concrete of the basement floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. Our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain in the trench, which is made to collect water leakage from basement walls, prevent water and mud clogs, and it has easily accessible service ports for annual maintenances. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is made to prevent mold and humidity, act as an extra wall protectant, and give the basement a neat and bright finish. To finish the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with rock and pea gravel and applied a new layer of concrete over them to ensure the space was neat and tidy. Jamie was satisfied with the work that was done and was beautified by the transformation!

A homeowner in Hixton, MN, was distressed after discovering water sitting on their basement floor. Wanting someone to visit their home immediately, the homeowner frantically looked for a solution. After hearing about our quick response time, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After arranging the appointment with our Appointment Specialist, the homeowner prepared for Mac, one of our Design Specialists, to arrive. Once Mac arrived, he began his investigation to find the source of the issue. When Mac completed the inspection, he determined that the entire basement needed to be waterproofed, and the foundation needed to be stabilized. Mac told the homeowner about these findings and provided them with a recommended plan. The homeowner agreed with these recommendations and production began. Once a crew was assigned, they traveled to the home to start production. After they arrived, they began by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew shifted their focus to digging a feedline to connect to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the crew moved their focus to installing CarbonArmor strips along the north wall. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.
