Leaking Basement Waterproofed with Sump Pump in Bagley, MN
Challenge
A damp or wet basement can cause more than just a headache. These issues can create even bigger problems like mold, mildew, rot, structural damage, and health problems. Some symptoms that you may have a basement water problem include a wet or damp basement floor, standing water, musty odors, condensation, sump pump problems, and leaky basement windows.
A female homeowner in Bagley, MN was seeing signs and symptoms of water leakage in her basement and she needed repairs done as soon as possible. She heard about American Waterworks and our option of free estimates. She called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went out to her home to carefully inspect her problems and come up with a solution that would solve her problems. She got all of her questions answered and was confident in our products and their warranties, so she signed the contract, filled out a deposit check, and set up a date for the installation process.
Solution
Our Foreman and his production crew started the process by introducing themselves to the homeowner and answering any last-minute questions that she had about the project. After a thorough introduction, our Foreman and his crew went downstairs and started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is what we typically recommend and is our most widely used drain system. It is popular because of its resistance to water and mud clogs, its easy-to-access service ports, and its ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. Next, our team replaced the homeowner's sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners because it offers three levels of water protection, it solves all three problems in one system, and it comes with a battery back-up in case of power outage. Lastly, our Foreman and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold and mildew, serve as an extra wall protectant barrier, and give the basement a neat and clean appearance. To finish the installation, our crew filled the open floor gaps with river rock, applied new concrete over it, and made sure the homeowner was happy with the repairs.
