Damp Basement Protected In Baldwin, WI

Challenge

Kelle, a homeowner in Baldwin, WI was concerned because her basement had flooded a few times, and she wanted to prevent it from happening again. She contacted us for a FREE estimate to understand our possible solutions. Our Service Technician, Rasean, traveled to her home to take a look around. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to recommend a plan to transform the basement into a healthy, clean space.

Solution

With the decision made to install a discharge line in the basement, Foreman Lane and his team went out to the property and got to work. The goal was to direct water away from the foundation of the home so that it would not leak back into the basement. By adding a 30 foot discharge line from the south end of the home into the yard, water gets properly relocated. The team also implemented our LawnScape Outlet, which is a pipe buried from the downspout that lets water outside onto the surface of the lawn while camouflaging the end of the pipe. The lid comes off for easy cleaning, minimizing maintenance for your home. Furthermore, American Waterworks can help prevent wintertime freeze-up of discharge lines. We installed the patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation if the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. At the end of the project, Kelle was grateful for the work and glad her peace of mind was restored!
