Wet Basement Fixed in Morris, MN
Challenge
Water can cause several problems in basements, and it can cause more than just a headache. These problems can cause bigger issues like mold, mildew, wood rot, damage to property, and health hazards. Some of these symptoms include a wet or damp floor, leaking walls, standing water, odors, condensation, problems with the sump pump, and leaking basement windows. The most efficient way to stop basement flooding is to get a full-perimeter drainage system installed in your basement.
A resident in Morris, MN was experiencing these exact issues in his basement, and it continued to happen every year. They finally got in contact with American Waterworks and set up a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. A FREE Estimate includes a 2-3 hour on-site inspection, an educational rundown of our products, and a bid that will restore your peace of mind. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house and carefully diagnosed the problems in their basement while taking note of the causes and symptoms. After a complete inspection and rundown of our products, our Design Specialist proposed our WaterGuard Drainage System. The homeowner asked all of the questions they had about the product and felt confident in its features and warranty, so the resident signed our contract, wrote out a deposit, and scheduled a date for the installation piece.
Solution
Our WaterGuard Drainage System is an award-winning waterproofing drain system because of its commonality and advantages. Our WaterGuard gets installed out of the mud zone, which prevents the drain from clogging due to water or mud. Along with that, it has easily accessible service ports for technicians to get into in case of an emergency and it collects water seepage from basement walls.
Our Foreman and his crew began the WaterGuard installation by cutting out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed the WaterGuard, which eventually leads to outside of the home for water to escape. To complete the installation, our Foreman and his team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and pea gravel, and applied a new layer of concrete over it, ensuring the basement was neater and cleaner than when they found it.
