Wet Basement Transformed in Austin, MN
Challenge
Sheila M. in Austin, MN was frustrated with having a wet basement. She did her research and learned that American Waterworks has been the leading waterproofing contractor in the region for 30 years! She contacted us, and our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, met with her to propose a solution to fit her needs.
Solution
Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Sheila’s basement by installing 94 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of her basement. Next, we installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump in the corner. The crew completed the job by installing our Foamax Wall Insulation and insulated floor decking. Water now drains through the WaterGuard into the sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and is expelled from the home. In addition, Sheila added our SaniDry dehumidifier to control the humidity. She contacted us to say she could already tell a difference in the temperature of her basement, and she is glad she made the investment to protect her home.
