Damp Basement Fixed in Austin, MN

Challenge

A homeowner from Austin, MN, was facing a serious issue with his basement. Each time the area got rain, his basement would become subject to standing water and strong humidity. The homeowner was worried that if he let the issue go, it would impact the resale of the home, so he decided to look into MN basement waterproofing. When he found our company, he read through various reviews and confidently signed up for his FREE, no-obligation estimate. 

Solution

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan K, was headed out to the home. Ryan conducted a thorough inspection of the basement, and when he finished, he met with the homeowner to go over his plan for the space. Ryan began by commending the homeowner for seeking professional help, stating that leaky basements don't get better with time, and that is why taking action right away is of the utmost importance. Ryan began by recommending our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the wall and works to direct water entering through the wall downward and into a perimeter drain that Ryan recommended to be our WaterGuard. Sitting below the floor of the basement, our WaterGuard is efficient and inconspicuous. It provides a channel for any water entering the space to flow freely to the appropriate disposal site, keeping it off the basement floor. While Ryan was in the basement, he noticed the water had nowhere to drain, so he recommended our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable sump system in our lineup. This powerful machine offers 3 levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. Finally, Ryan wanted to use our Aprilaire dehumidifier to address the humidity in the space. Adding an Aprilaire dehumidifier creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% RH. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendations and signed for the project on the spot. 

A month passed before production began in the basement. By the end of the project, our Foreman, Luis D, and his team successfully installed 108 ft of WaterGuard, 108 ft of CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, and 1 Aprilaire dehumidifier. Now our customers can breathe easy knowing that their damp basement issues are in the past!
