Leaky Basement Gets Fixed in Roseville, MN
Challenge
A homeowner in Roseville, MN noticed an area of moisture surrounding their fireplace. Wanting to address the issue right away, they called our office and we set them up with our FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Jesse, headed out to the property to see how we could help.
Solution
After his inspection, Jesse recommended using our WaterGuard system. He explained that our WaterGuard french drainage system is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. He went on to say that this system is popular because of its resistance to clogs, easy-to-access ports, and ability to collect water leaking from basement walls. The homeowner agreed and work began shortly after.
Our Foreman, Chris, and his team began the project by jackhammering away the concrete at the base of the fireplace. Next, they jackhammered along the wall between the fireplace and the already-placed sump pump. Next, they laid down a base of drainage stone, laid the WaterGuard, and connected the WaterGuard to the sump pump. Finally, they covered the WaterGuard with fresh cement to keep it in place. Now our customer can enjoy their basement without worries that water intrusion will be an issue!
