Ellsworth, WI, Leaky Basement Repaired

Tuesday, February 4th, 2025 by Mattie Slavin

Challenge

A homeowner in Ellsworth, WI, noticed their walls were slightly damp. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution to the issue. The homeowner knew they couldn't repair themselves, so they began looking into "leaky basement repair near me". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner saw previous project photos and knew we were the ideal company for the project. Since they were already on our website, they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Next, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Daniel.

Solution

Daniel traveled to Ellsworth and began the detailed inspection. During his detailed walk-through of the basement, Daniel leaked towards the bottom of the basement walls. To stop the leaking from continuing, Daniel recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Daniel's proposal. Once the homeowner gave their stamp of approval, Daniel sent the plans to our office to approve and schedule the project. After the project was scheduled, it was assigned to our Foreman, Luis, and his crew. The following month, Luis and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Luis and his crew started by installing DryTrak around the basement perimeter. DryTrak is a baseboard drain that is permanently epoxied to the floor. After the DryTrak was secured, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. Compared to other sump pumps, the TripleSafe provides three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. Once the TripleSafe was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was safe from future water intrusion.
