Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Foundation Waterproofing Products Save Home in Apple Valley, MN

Martha Asare of Apple Valley, MN had water leaking not only from her foundation walls but also from her concrete floor. She was at a loss with what to do so she called American Waterworks to schedule a Free Estimate and get some information on our Foundation Waterproofing products. We sent out our Design Specialist, Reed Hudson, to her home to diagnose the problem. After an in-depth diagnosis, Martha was confident and comfortable with the proposal, so she scheduled her installation date. Our foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the installation by cutting out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to form a trench. In the corner of the basement, they installed our SuperSump Plus M53, which is a sump pump that aids in keeping the basement clean and dry for very long periods of time and pumps water up and out through a discharge line out of the home. Then, they began the CarbonArmor Wall System installation to provide a foundation repair protectant for the leaking wall. Our CarbonArmor utilizes carbon fiber strips to strengthen and stabilize foundation walls that are bowed or cracked. Once finished with the CarbonArmor, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System around the perimeter of the walls to prevent any mold or humidity to get into the basement and reduce any further chance of water leaks. It also gives the basement a clean and bright appearance. Next, our crew installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which prevents water clogs, catches any water waste from underneath the CleanSpace, and serves as an underground drain. To complete the installation, Matt and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete to make the basement look as good as new. Martha was ecstatic and so happy she got a hold of American Waterworks when she did! She can now enjoy the quality and life of her basement as every homeowner should.
