Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Winona, MN became concerned when he noticed a small puddle of water that had formed at the bottom of one of the basement walls. He decided rather than worrying about what the damage was, contacting a business that could fix the situation would be the best next step. While searching online, he came across our website and our FREE no-obligation estimate offer caught his eye. He was happy to have an expert's opinion on the situation first rather than beginning to tackle it with no information. He signed up for an appointment and was later greeted by Design Specialist Trevor Simmons. Trevor had seen similar basement water damage before and informed the homeowner that the best course of action would be to install our WaterGuard system. He explained that this perimeter drain system is specifically engineered to fix basement water problems effectively without the issues of clogging from soil and sediment. The homeowner happily agreed to the installation plan. A few weeks later, our Foreman, Chris Newton, and his team carefully installed the WaterGuard and made sure it was properly functioning. The homeowner was happy to be rid of the water intrusion and could enjoy his basement once again.

A homeowner from Winona, MN, was facing an issue with the existing sump pump in her basement. The homeowner had noticed that the sump pump cycled very often, even in times when there was no precipitation. The final straw occurred when her town received heavy amounts of rain and her sump system didn't turn on, leaving her with a mess in her basement. She decided to search for sump pump repairs in Minnesota and eventually found our website. She signed up for her FREE estimate and several weeks later, Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to complete his inspection. 

Mac made sure to pay extra attention to the sump in the basement. When he finished his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendations. Mac recommended two of our products that he believed would fix the problem. First, Mac informed the homeowner he wanted to use our WaterGuard, a unique below-floor French drain that sits atop the footing of the home's foundation. This placement allows the drain to stay out of the "mud zone" where other drains of this nature tend to clog. It works to catch water entering through holes and cracks and the floor, giving it a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site, which in this case, Mac wanted to be our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. The homeowner liked the plan for her basement and decided to sign on the spot. 

Several weeks later, Kiko, our Foreman, and his team headed out to complete the installation. Once he finished, our customer was thrilled to know she no longer had to worry about water intrusion!

A homeowner from Winona, MN, got in touch with us after her basement began taking on water after a hard rain. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan K, was out at the home. 

Ryan got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Ryan wanted to use our WaterGuard perimeter drain. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where other drains of its nature tend to clog. Ryan explained that this drain works to collect any water coming up through the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. During Ryan's inspection, he noticed that the basement lacked a means of disposing of the unwanted water, so he recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. This powerful pump is the most reliable in our lineup, offering three levels of protection for both your basement and your peace of mind. The homeowner agreed with his recommendations and decided to schedule the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, led his team through the successful installation of 20ft of WaterGuard and 1 TripleSafe sump. Now, our customer can enjoy the rain without wondering if it will end up in her basement!
