Leaking Basement Waterproofed in Starbuck, MN
Challenge
Having a damp or wet basement can cause more than just a headache, and these problems can create even bigger problems like mold, mildew, rot, structural damage, and a variety of health problems. Since a wet basement is a problem that can be solved quickly, it is worth the time to learn which options will work best to resolve the issue.
A male homeowner in Starbuck, MN had water leaking through the window and cracks of his foundation walls, causing him to worry about mold and mildew, humidity, water moisture, and other kinds of damage. He called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. One of our Design Specialists went to his home, carefully inspected his problems, and came up with a well-designed solution that worked for him, his home repair needs, and his budget. The homeowner was confident in our proposal of our TripleSafe Sump Pump and our WaterGuard Drainage System, so they signed the contract and got an installation date on the schedule.
Solution
Our production Foreman and his team began the project by introducing themselves to the homeowner and answering any last-minute questions that he had. After a thorough introduction, our crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain, it prevents water and mud clogs by staying out of the "mud zone", and it collects water leaking from basement walls. From there, our Foreman and his crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which is the most reliable and effective sump pump that we offer for homeowners. Our TripleSafe solves all three problems in one unit and provides three different layers of water protection. To finalize and complete the project, our production crew covered the open gaps with river rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the basement was neater than when they found it.
The homeowner was happy with the project and had a great experience!
