Water was entering into the home, through an old egress window, after heavy downpours.  American Waterworks was able to stop the leak by replacing the window and the window well. 

A homeowner in Roseville, MN was enjoying a nice night by the fireplace when he noticed a damp patch in front of the fireplace. Upon further investigation, he found that water was entering his basement through the base of the brick fireplace. He wanted to get a full diagnosis of the problem so he called our office and claimed his FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Jessie, was scheduled to go out to the home to see what could be done. After Jesse's inspection, he told the homeowner that the basement was only susceptible to water in front of the fireplace. He proposed using our WaterGuard to correct the issue. He explained that our WaterGuard french drainage system is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. He went on to say that this system is popular because of its resistance to clogs, easy-to-access ports, and ability to collect water leaking from basement walls. The homeowner agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris, and his team made quick work of the installation. He Connected the WaterGuard to an already installed sump pump and then covered the system up with a layer of fresh cement to keep it in place. Now our customer can enjoy their basement oasis without fear of water raining on their parade!

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home to give a proper inspection of the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of a leaking basement is a failed footing drain. When this fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water would then enter through cracks in the walls, between the wall and the footing, and underneath the footing. For this reason, Lance recommended our WaterGuard, CleanSpace, SuperSump+, and IceGuard. Our WaterGuard is a below-the-floor drain system that intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and ejects it away. Our CleanSpace is our vapor wall barrier that is designed to prevent water from permeating the walls and move any water leaks to the drain system. Our SuperSump+ is a reliable sump pump capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. Lastly, our IceGuard is our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipe freezes or becomes clogged. The homeowner reviewed Lance's proposal and happily agreed to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Luis D., arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 140sqft of CleanSpace by attaching them to the wall using drilled-in fasteners. They also installed 25ft of WaterGuard and 1 IceGuard. Lastly, the crew installed the SuperSump+ ensuring it is connected to the WaterGuard and IceGuard. Once they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can trust that his basement will remain dry for many years to come! Have you noticed wet floors or leaking walls? Don't worry and click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate!

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to assess the basement. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of a damp basement is a failed footing drain. When this becomes clogged and fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the wall, between the footing and the wall, or under the footing. During Daniel's inspection, he noticed that the current sump pump was out of date and kept it in mind when he designed a proposal for the homeowner. Daniel recommended our WaterGuard, a below-the-floor perimeter drain system that effectively collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away, CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that stops water vapor from permeating the walls, IceGuard, our discharge line system that will not freeze unlike traditional discharge lines, and Zoeller M53 pump that is capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Daniel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Field Supervisor, Cole B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by attaching 74ft of the CleanSpace vapor wall barrier to the basement walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 74ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump system. They also installed 1 IceGuard before replacing the pump with our Zoeller M53. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
