Damp Basement Waterproofed In Saint Stephen, MN

Wednesday, June 21st, 2023 by Ella Wiebusch

Challenge

Peter, a homeowner in Saint Stephen, MN, was searching for solutions to his basement issues. With no sump pump in the home, combined with water entering the basement and cracking in his garage floor, he needed help. That's why he decided to call American Waterworks for his FREE estimate. Our crews of waterproofers are experienced, well-trained professionals that work in basements and crawl spaces every day. The experts at American Waterworks have seen it all, and they know just what needs to be done to keep your space dry all the time! Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property.

Following a thorough inspection, Shane gave his recommendations to Peter, suggesting that he invest in our WaterGuard system as well as our SuperSump Pump. Peter agreed, and our crew got to work.

Solution

Foreman, Lane, and his crew, headed out and started making Peter's home a drier, safer place to live. First, they started with our WaterGuard, a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone," making it harder to clog. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even during heavy water intrusion. Next, the team implemented our The SuperSump®, which includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. Peter was pleased with the results and glad his basement is now a dry, healthy space. Are you having water problems in your basement? Click HERE to learn more about our WaterGuard System!
