Damp Basement Given Refresh in Bethel, MN

Thursday, May 11th, 2023 by Ella Wiebusch

Challenge

Ave, a homeowner from Bethel, MN reached out to our team because she was having issues with water continually leaking into the basement around the edge of the floor. The moisture along the walls was concerning to her, and so she wanted to have an expert look at the situation and provide a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. After the inspection, Shane was able to recommend a combination of our waterproofing products. Ave approved of the plan and moved forward with the project.

Solution

Our Foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his crew arrived at the home and promptly got to work. The team began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench. Then, they laid the WaterGuard in the trench. The wide-open design of this drain helps it resist clogs, while a removable lid allows for easy access and maintenance. Our drain system is custom-designed to protect and help keep your basement dry all the time! The team then installed a SuperSump sump pump. They filled back the gaps with rock and then replaced the concrete around the sump pump and over the WaterGuard. Water now properly drains to the sump pump through the WaterGuard. The water is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Ave's peace of mind has been restored, and she can now enjoy a dry, healthier basement for years to come!
